Tabi Card liked an update for Tantalus Depths

Time for the Wednesday author spotlight update!

This week I’d like to shine the spotlight on The Test, by Tabi Card.


Here is a story that fits right in with current YA hits like The Maze Runner and Divergent, but the writing is handled far more exquisitely than the genre typically offers. Her characters are well-rounded and complex, rather than seeming like simple archetypes drawn out of a genre-approved list. Her world-building is extensive and fascinating.

The test creates a palpable tone of tension and miasmic uncertainty that perfectly intimates the central characters state of mind to the reader. You feel as if you are present in the events, that they are happening to you. Even so, Nik is very much her own character, and as readers we cannot help but feel her struggles.

Definitely give The Test a look. This book is going places, and you’ll want to be a part of that.

Also, of course, please consider pre-ordering Tantalus Depths, if you’ve not already done so. (Had to throw that in there somewhere)

    Tabi Card liked an update for The Seventh Age: Dawn

    The final manuscript has been approved with Girl Friday Productions!

    I even learned what a Flueron is recently. 

         *    *    *  

    I choose the Illuminati Eye triangle... because they area always watching. 

    Tinfoil hat aside: I’ll be at Wizard World in Chicago August 18th thru 21 with a booth. More details on that coming soon. 

    I have more art from Lizzy Perez! This one is a bit more laid back, Mike and the crew playing some games after a night of demon hunting

    This scene directly ties into an Anthology I am part of with the character Akira. You can learn more about the Too Many Controllers in the current Nerdist contest by clicking right: Here

    Lastly, there is one final... final thing: If you are following this book and haven’t dived in yet. Here it is. The last chance to be entered into one of 7 raffles for a demon hunter kits, tarot cards, and artwork. We need... 8 more people!

    So call your friends! The Angels are coming! The end is nigh!!!
