One of the great things about being a writer is the camaraderie.  We help each other out.  Like giving a shout out for a friend's latest (or in this case, a first) release. I'm talking about my friend Lee Barnett's fantasy novel, Tales of Telenia: Threshold, which is exclusively available for Kindle (until October--then it will be available for all other e readers).  It's the first in a series.

Here's the book description:  When a spatial rift causes Amanda Shelton’s space shuttle to crash land on an unknown planet, she awakens to find herself locked in a cell with a tutor charged with teaching her an alien language. Crown Prince Paxdon is determined to scavenge not only her ship, but any technology he can squeeze from her brain to vanquish his enemies in a neighboring province. But just who is Amanda’s real adversary; the warriors in the north or the people of Telenia?

I write stories about strong contemporary women, which is why I like this story so much. Although it's about a strong woman in the not-so-distant future.  Maybe you'd like it, too!
