News for March 31st, 2010: Sherry Thompson, Jeremy Robinson, Novel Journey

Sherry Thompson announces the release of her second book, Earthbow: Volume 1, which she has dedicated to the Lost Genre Guild and her local writing group.

Cenoc, the self-styled Lord of Latimus, is on an inspection tour of his country's military keeps when he is told about hidden treasures that could make him even more powerful. So begins the warleader's descent into darkness. Few dare oppose Cenoc's will, even as they witness his growing madness. However, a remnant stand in his way: a newly knighted young man who is soon torn between his mission and an overwhelming desire for revenge; an enchanter-initiate who finds himself facing terrors even greater than the danger of opposing Cenoc; a teen Outworlder from Earth who has been gifted with the Earthbow and told he will learn its purpose--just before his mentor abandons him.
