O is for Oneiroi series by Christina McKnight

 

For 2013's A to Z Challenge, I am talking about book series, particularly some favorite series as well as series I've been waiting to read for a LONG time. 

O is for ... Oneiroi series by Christina McKnight

I just love how Christina McKnight picked a Greek myth that isn't overdone, and I look forward to reading her series.

When Lucessa Sarcona awakes from a recurring dream, she has no idea her life is about to be turned upside down. A stranger, familiar to her dreams, shows up in the flesh, and Lucessa knows she’s either crazy or experiencing something not of this world.

A war ensues between three demigod brothers. One, trained to rule Erebos, is violently replaced. One forced to return to his homeland and lead the dream-gods of the Oneiroi. And one is charged with the impossible task of protecting Lucessa. How is she linked to the Oneiroi? Why do two brothers seek to keep her hidden and protected? And how does another plan to use her against the two demigods who love her?

Will Lucessa’s dream man have the courage to claim her as his own or will he bow to the command of another, forsaking the one he loves?

Only in Her Dreams is a modern spin on a Greek legend--the new direction of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance, moving from angels, demons, vampires, and witches and toward the realm of demigods.

For the A to Z Challenge, I will be featuring up to three authors per letter (via their last name). Some of the authors responded to my request for authors to promote. Others, I found. Please check them out and their books. Thank you!

I know Michael Offutt through blogging. His debut novel Slipstream will be out in May!

Our "O" Author 

Offutt, Michael

Michael Offutt is a writer of science-fiction books.  Depending on when you catch him, he may also be an aspiring writer of epic fantasy, young adult fiction, or a daily non-sequitur.  He has one brother, no pets, and a few roots that keep his tree of life sufficiently watered.

Mr. Offutt’s mother is  a four-foot tall Japanese woman and his father is a six-foot tall white man from Texas with a thick southern drawl.  She loves city life and sushi. He loves small towns with run-down pick-up trucks and fried chicken.

When he asked his mother how they got together, she happily responded that when she was working in the United States Air Force back in the '50's, she used her spare time as an office clerk at the Air Force Base to look over personnel records for a husband.  He remarks that peculiar behavior like this must have been how people met each other prior to the influence of Facebook and Twitter.  It puzzles him whenever he thinks about it, so he chooses instead to just love his stalker mother who speaks quite fondly of the family to the fictional people that live in the basement.

Things you may want to know about the author:

1) Mr. Offutt’s day job is working for the State of Utah.  In his own words, he says, “I help people get computers for their home and school that could otherwise not afford them.  I also install environmental control units, voice-activated devices, and work with computers and electronics.  Generally, I fix stuff when something goes wrong with it.”

2) He enjoys writing, reading, and keeps a blog to regale scores of followers with his wit.

3) He feels like he has an unhealthy preoccupation with caffeine.

4) If the world were to be scientifically verified to end tomorrow, Mr. Offutt would eat chocolate cake until he passed out. That way, he would not have to worry about fitting into his pants again come tomorrow.
