Hi everyone. Today we are featuring "Scribe of Destiny" by: Paul Barrett and Steve Murphy. They published this book together and have written a special guest post for you all to enjoy. Check out all the details below and find out how to purchase your copy and enter the tour giveaway.
People often ask us why we write fantasy and science fiction. Or, more accurately in our case, space opera. It comes down to writing what you know and love. Sure, Paul knows the film business inside and out, and Steve knows all about being a cop, but that’s our real life. We read to get away from the day to day and the ordinary. That’s the same reason we write what we write. A movie about the film business or being a cop might be interesting, and we may decide to write something about those subjects someday. But we both grew up reading fantasy, starting with The Lord of the Rings and expanding from there. And we were both huge Dungeons and Dragons geeks, so fantasy was in our blood from the beginning. We know the tropes and the characters and the history and all the things that go with the genre. That makes writing it particularly enjoyable and also gives us, in the case of Scribe of Destiny, the ability to poke gentle fun at the genre.

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.
