DEAD RADIANCE Blog Tour (Valkyries #1) by T. G. Ayer

BLURB:
EXCERPT:
"That day I knew for sure. I'd lost control of my tears then. They fell in huge, mocking drops. I stared at Joshua through those bitter tears, my heart missing beats as I tried to remember to breathe. I finally knew what the glow meant. I was a freak and Joshua was going to die." Bryn Halbrook had always seen the glow. But it is only when her best friend dies that she discovers the meaning of those beautiful golden auras - Death. Alone, lost in the foster system, she struggles to understand who she is and why she was cursed with the ability to see the soon-to-be-dead. The new foster kid, Aidan, isn't helping any. Mr. Perfect seems to fit in no matter what, making her feel even more pathetic. But when his affections turn to her, Bryn finds him hard to resist. Impossible actually. A mystery himself, Aidan disappears, leaving behind a broken heart and a mysterious book that suggests Bryn might not be entirely human. Bryn stands at the threshold of a journey of discovery. Will destiny help her find herself, find her purpose and her place in a world in which she'd never belonged?

BIO:
I have been a writer from the time I was old enough to recognize that reading was a doorway into my imagination. Poetry was my first foray into the art of the written word. Books were my best friends, my escape, my haven. I am essentially a recluse but this part of my personality is impossible to practice given I have two teenage daughters, who are actually my friends, my tea-makers, my confidantes… I am blessed with a husband who has left me for golf. It’s a fair trade as I have left him for writing. We are both passionate supporters of each other's loves – it works wonderfully…
My heart is currently broken in two. One half resides in South Africa where my old roots still remain, and my heart still longs for the endless beaches and the smell of moist soil after a summer downpour. My love for Ma Afrika will never fade. The other half of me has been transplanted to the Land of the Long White Cloud. The land of the Taniwha, beautiful Maraes, and volcanoes. The land of green, pure beauty that truly inspires. And because I am so torn between these two lands – I shall forever remain cross-eyed.

Review of DEAD RADIANCE (Reviewed by Mallory Heart Reviews)



Dead Radiance (Valkyrie, #1)Dead Radiance by T.G. Ayer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Review of Dead Radiance (Valkyrie #1) by T. G. At yer
5 Stars

What an engrossing novel! I truly enjoyed reading this first entry and am ready to move on to the second novel in the series, “Dead Embers.” Author T. G. Ayer has a fine and skillful touch with delineation of Norse mythology, a subject of great interest to me, and not nearly as well known by most readers as is Graeco-Roman mythology. No need to work on suspension of disbelief here, it comes automatically. There’s no surprise at encountering All-Father Odin, Fenrir, the Goddesses Freya and Frigga, or even that evil (not just mischievous) Loki. No, it all seems natural, just as logical as Valkyries returning to Midgard (where we live, folks) and reanimating the deceased as Warriors for Odin and Freya, diligently preparing daily for that great world-ending conflict of Ragnarok.

There are some truly heart-wrenching moments here too, so please keep your box of tissues near to hand. You’ll find falling in love, breaking hearts, grief, and all those other emotions humans can’t do without. But you’ll also come away with a new appreciation for the art of storytelling.
