*Book Tour & Giveaway* Scribe of Destiny-GUEST POST

 


Say Hello to Fantasy's Most Reluctant Hero 

Scribe of Destiny

by Paul Barrett & Steve Murphy

Genre: Fantasy Comedy 

Briar, son of Patch, is perfectly happy working as a low-level scribe for the Church of Ubel, spending his off time painting seascapes, walking on the beach, and being alive.

That last one is put in imminent danger when the Church hierarchy determines the god Ubel has gone insane. A delegation is gathered to journey to the Oracle of Hiephi so they can learn what must be done to cure the psychopathic deity. Briar, very much against his will, must accompany the group, ostensibly to chronicle the journey for inclusion in the official Church archives.

During their adventures, horrific visions of an angry, scowling teenager plague Briar, and he soon learns there is a deeper, darker reason behind his inclusion in this insanely dangerous quest.

Facing the likes of bloodthirsty pirates, a bloodthirstier gnome talent agent, and The Slobbering Hound of Chaos, Briar slowly, and oh so unwillingly, learns his place in the world. He might even manage to become a hero. If he survives.

What’s coming from the twisted minds of Paul
Barrett and Steve Murphy 

So now that Scribe of Destiny is out in the world, that same world is clamoring to know
what else is in the feverish brain pans of Paul and Steve that they are going to unleash. 
There are several things in the works from our new favorite writing duo. First up will
most likely be a little one-off story that doesn’t have a title yet but can best be described
as a “pseudo-LitRPG experiment.” It will be their first self-published novel and is
currently in final edits.
Next is Knight Gambit (working title), the third book in their space opera series, The
Knights of the Flaming Star, available from Falstaff Books on Amazon. Paul is also
finishing up A Scream of Destruction, the last book in his solo Necromancer Saga
trilogy.
Looking further afield, they are halfway through the second book in the Spade Case
Files with an outline for the remainder. They are also in the beginning stages of their
“epic fantasy” trilogy, because of course they are. 
There are plenty of other ideas floating in their diseased craniums. So, you are going to
see them around for a long time.
