Realm of the Snow Queen Release!

Wow, can you believe it's here? The end of an adventure, which for me has lasted over six years! I can hardly believe it myself, but here we are.

I'm so excited to finally share Snow Queen with all of you! I've been anticipating this very moment since day one (or at least when I figured out the overarching plot of the books). I think this book is the one I'm most proud of. My writing has grown and improved significantly since Wonderland (college will do that to you), and though I've always known where this series was headed, Snow Queen ended up becoming more than I ever expected.

All questions are answered, all your favorite characters are back, and no one is safe. No one comes out unmarred.

​This is the end. Are you ready for the last adventure?

Book Synopsis:

​Stand in the Sun,
The Cold Beckons.

Kai Ødegård never expected to become a hero. All he’d ever wanted was to save the woman he loved. But now the freedom of the realms rests heavily on his shoulders, on his friends’ shoulders, and he can’t be sure the responsibility isn’t misplaced. Five people shouldn’t be responsible for saving worlds.

He’s made too many promises.

War is on the horizon as Kai and his friends struggle to protect all that they love, bear all they have lost, and finally discover why their fates have led them to the Realm of the Snow Queen. Kai is determined to set things right – but where does that leave Gerda? Home is behind them, an uncertain future ahead, and the choices they make will change everything.

Their journey ends here.

I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it! Thank you for taking this journey with me.

With love,
Emory R. Frie

Neverland Release!

It's finally here! I'm so excited to announce that "Neverland", the 2nd installment in The Realms Series, is now available to order in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon and CreateSpace. I can't wait to hear what you all think about the adventure as it continues to unfold in this next book.
Synopsis:
Never Forget.
Never Grow Up.
In Neverland, it's difficult if not impossible to do both. Dreams come true. Time is irregular. But to remain frozen in mind, memories must fade. For Wendy Darling, she never grew up.
That doesn't mean she never grew old.
When Wendy returns to Neverland, her friends in tow, it becomes apparent that the Island has other plans before she can return to the Lost Boys. But things have changed since she's been gone, things that should've never been possible.
And in hunting for a mysterious power threatening the realms, Wendy and her friends find that some things are not as they seem.
Are they ready for what comes next?
I hope you all enjoy the new characters (including Peter Pan, Captain James Hook, and many more), the new discoveries, the new adventures, and the new world of "Neverland".
You can order "Neverland" now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0997435429/... and CreateSpace: www.createspace.com/6397353

Wonderland Release!

The wait is finally over (for you and for me)! "Wonderland" is now available for purchase through Amazon and Createspace, for both eBook and paperback. I can't tell you how much I've been dying to share this with all of you! And your excitement has truly made this absolutely thrilling!
Synopsis
They think she’s mad.
They’re right.
After returning from Wonderland again, Alice Liddell has been sent to the Facility—an asylum specially designed for others like her. Such fantasies are no longer suitable for a girl of seventeen, or so they tell her. Everyone around her demands she be sensible. Her story has been twisted for the entertainment of children. But Alice knows the truth. She won’t be moved to sensibility.
And she’s not the only one.
Along with her new friends, Alice is thrust into a journey to save the Mad Hatter from the Queen of Hearts. But things are never so easy. Alice quickly discovers her fate is tied closer to her fellow Facility escapees than any of them could’ve imagined.
Stories weave together in unexpected ways as Alice and her friends find themselves deep in something that effects far more than just Wonderland.
This is just the beginning.

As the first installment in The Realms Series, "Wonderland" is a unique take on the classics and the marvelous characters they include. I have had such a blast diving into these stories and making them my own, honoring the originals, and exploring the characters' endless potential.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Wonderland is not the only familiar aspect of this series. In fact, there are a total of five key characters, and their stories, that I hope have been given new flavor in this retelling/mash-up.
I'll give you a hint: one of them is Alice.
Sorry, I know that was cruel. If you really must know, my beloved quintet consists of Jack, Kai, Wendy, Red, and Alice. I'll leave their origins up to your imagination.

Well, now my creation has been released! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
You can order it now here: www.amazon.com/Wonderland-Realms-1-Em...

Thanks for reading!

P.S. The second book in The Realms Series is estimated to be released 2017.
