[Wilmington,
NC November 20, 2014] Linda Maria Frank, author of ‘Secrets
Of The Fairy Chimneys’, has been chosen as a finalist in the ’50 Great
Writers You
Should Be Reading’ Awards contest. The contest is sponsored by The
Authors Show.
‘Secrets In The Fairy Chimneys’, written in the
tradition of
Nancy Drew mysteries, is written in a ‘Nancy Drew meets CSI’
style. The new young adult thriller puts Annie Tillery on a dangerous
path in an attempt to unravel a complicated mystery and solve the
secrets in the fairy chimneys.
"I
love the Authors Show," Frank stated. "What a splendid opportunity the
show offers to showcase your books in an attractive way, including an
in-depth interview. On top of that is the '50 Great Writers You Should
Be Reading' contest, which enables authors to share with others what
writing means to them. Books contain every conceivable idea and story
written and told by the authors who provide these gifts to their
readers. It is this relationship between authors and readers that keeps
the stories of our common awareness alive."
'Secrets In The
Fairy Chimneys' is set in exotic Istanbul and Cappadocia, a
land
of enchanted caves and rock formations. The plot involves ancient
mysteries, archaeological secrets, and thieves who will commit murder
rather than give up the treasures they steal. Annie acquires new
friends. Cedric Zeeks is trying to find a link between his African
ancestors and the inhabitants of a 9,000 year old town in
Cappadocia. Yelda and Ahmet Atsut, twins with a Ouija board
and
awesome sleuthing talents, help Annie and boyfriend, Ty Egan, solve the
mysteries, both the ancient ones and the ones that threaten them as
they work the archaeological dig. This third Annie Tillery
Mystery is a real page turner with mystery, romance and an intriguing
plot.
The
book has a perfect 5 star rating on Amazon. One reviewer stated,
"Terrific read. Although I'm not a typical YA reader (a bit too old) I
thoroughly enjoy this series. Young Annie Tillery is a character that
the reader can engage as she soldiers on with her adventure in the face
of some ominous threats. Her relationship with her boyfriend, and
archeological dig partner is touching. The scene descriptions of the
archeological site in Turkey are well done and enlightening. The author
not only knows how to tell a compelling story but she adds some
interesting scientific information. I have heard of mitochondrial DNA,
but never knew its significance until I read this book.”
