Relics by @MaerWilson: The Ultimate Dream Cast!
Relics
Most of Thulu and La Fi’s clients are dead. Which is perfect since their detective agency caters to the supernatural. But a simple job finding a lost locket leads to a big case tracking relics for an ancient daemon.
The daemon needs the relics to keep a dangerous portal closed. His enemy, Gabriel, wants the relics to open the portal and give his people access to a new feeding ground – Earth.
Caught on live TV, other portals begin to open and the creatures of magic return to Earth. The people of Earth are not alone, but will soon wish they were.
When Gabriel threatens their family, Thulu and La Fi’s search becomes personal. The couple will need powerful help in the race to find the relics before Gabriel does. But maybe that’s what ghostly friends, magical allies and daemonic clients are for.
When the creatures of myth and magic return to Earth, they’re nothing like your mother’s fairy tales.

Relics – Dream Cast
By Maer Wilson
Name: Fiona Bartlett Thulukan (La Fi) – The Heroine – Actor – Jennifer Lawrence
La Fi has a dry sense of humor and loves to play MMOs. She sometimes gets impatient with the living, but has a gigantic heart. She is a Medium and can recognize any creature’s true nature. She can also understand and communicate in any language. She and her husband Thulu own a detective agency that caters to the supernatural. She’s thrilled when the creatures of magic return, but prefers to keep her own abilities under the radar.
Name: Erik Thulukan, III (Thulu) – The Hero – Actor – Chris Hemsworth
Thulu is a mix of Zen with a wicked sense of humor. Coming from a very close-knit family, Thulu is fun-loving, kind and generous. He’s a finder – he can find anyone or anything that’s lost. He can also see the dead. Thulu hopes with the return of magic that he and La Fi can broaden their client base to include the living.
Name: Brandon Arreo Malone (Reo) – The Best Friend – Actor – Chace Crawford
Reo has a flair for the dramatic and several different talents, but they can be erratic. He is the star of special kind of magic show at a 5 star hotel, performing under the name of Brandy Malone. Reo is very warm and giving and often wanders alone in less savory areas helping out those not as fortunate than himself.
Name: Tyler Jones/Dhavenbahtek – The Enigma – Actor – Shemar Moore
Tyler Jones is the latest person possessed by the ancient daemon, Dhavenbahtek. Jones is enigmatic – handsome, charming – and a stone-cold killer when he chooses. He’s well over eight thousand years old and doesn’t pay much attention to human values. However, he appreciates human art and has a collection that any museum would envy.

Pet the Cover: Portals by @MaerWilson
Whoa. Where have I been? Is this real life right now? I’ve been sailing around space and fighting off ghosts during my National Novel Writing Month project, so I’m not 100% sure what’s been happening on earth. In case you’re wondering, I’ve been cramming daily word counts down NaNoWriMo’s figurative throat. Most of it looks like poo, but every once in awhile, something brilliant pops onto the screen. More about that later. After November. After I’ve recovered.
One thing that I do know is happening in real life is Maer Wilson’s cover reveal for Portals, which releases mid-December. Get your fingers ready and pet it!
Now that is a beautiful cover! Here’s more about the book:
For supernatural detectives Thulu and La Fi, “normal” is a relative term. La Fi is a medium, Thulu is a finder, and their usual clients are already dead.
But when their friend Reo is shot, and a group of stranded angels show up at their house for help to find a missing child, things are striking too close to home.
And now the portals that let the magical races return to Earth have started opening on their own.
With trips off-world, a kidnapped psychic and changes to their own abilities, Thulu and La Fi are hit with a lot more than they usually handle. Of course, their magical friends are there to help, but even they may not be enough to save an increasingly unstable Earth.
Portals is the sequel to Relics and is Book 2 in The Thulukan Chronicles.
And here’s more about Maer:
After a successful career being other people, and later teaching others the many tricks of that trade, Maer Wilson has decided to be herself for a while. Turns out she’s a writer. She’s always loved stories, especially fantasy, mystery and sci fi. Maer was born in the Year of the Dragon and has a dragon-themed room in her home, but sadly no dragons in the back yard. When she’s not writing, Maer plays online video games, teaches college and reads. She also co-hosts the literary podcast, MythBehaving and writes for two gaming fansites. Maer lives in the high desert of Southern Nevada with her two dogs, a chihuahua and a poodle. Relics is the first novel in her series, The Thulukan Chronicles. The second novel, Portals, is scheduled for release mid-December, 2013. You can find all books and novelettes in The Thulukan Chronicles at Amazon.

Well, that’s all for now. I need to fly back into space to make sure my characters are okay. I keep leaving them in horrible situations! See you in December!
13 Questions With @MaerWilson
Before we get to the lovely Maer Wilson, I’d like to announce the winner of the free e-copy of J. Andrew Jansen’s The Priestess, The Protector. Drumroll, please! The winner is Lisa Carroll! Lisa, we’ll be in touch!
Now, here’s the lovely Maer Wilson, author of Relics, who will answer thirteen of my nutty questions. Let’s go!
Me: What’s something about you that really annoys you?
Maer: My luck. When it’s bad, anyway. I’ll go along with great good luck for ages and then hit a stint where I can count on Murphy moving in and taking over. Then I just have to be very careful about everything and hope I’ll escape mostly intact.
Me: What’s the name of the book you’re reading?
Maer: I have a couple books going at the moment. One book, The Grave Winner, you might have heard of that one (wink, wink) and Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza.
Me: Grave Winner? Nope, never heard of it. 😉 Why do you write?
Maer: Because my characters will give me a headache if I ignore them too long. I can feel them tap-tap-tapping away, waiting for me to get on with it already.
Me: I hear you. Did you learn anything today? If so, what?
Maer: Today I learned that my dog is actually listening when I say, “No, you can’t go this trip.” Sometimes when she sees me get ready to leave she will go to the bag where her leash is and nudge it. Even after I say, “No” she will keep pointing to it with her nose as if perhaps I didn’t understand her. Today, she took me at my word and wandered off. I’m taking that as a win.
Me: Your poor doggy just wants to be with you! Spring or fall?
Maer: Spring for all the lovely green things here in the desert. Well, the lovely green things on my street anyway.
Me: What’s the one thing you can’t live without?
Maer: My dogs. They are my four-legged kids.
Me: Yep. My kid is my cat. If you were a comic book character, would you be a superhero or a villain? Why?
Maer: Superhero. I have a tendency to want to help people. So, I could totally get into that. Although I play the villain when I game in MMOs. It’s very therapeutic.
Me: Cool! Name a movie/book title that best describes your life.
Maer: Definitely, Maybe
Me: What scares you?
Maer: When the dogs bark really late at night, I get a little edgy.
Me: Here’s a free plane ticket! Where do you want to go?
Maer: Thanks, Lindsey! Australia, please! Want to come with?
Me: My suitcase is waiting by the door! What’s the last song you listened to on purpose?
Maer: Adiemus performing “Song of Tears”.
Me: What is your favorite holiday?
Maer: Halloween. I love the costumes.
Me: Halloween is my absolute favorite, too! What makes you laugh?
Maer: My dogs. The chihuahua is mellowing out since she’s thirteen, but my poodle, Chloe is something else. She is so smart and she comes up with some of the silliest things at times. She’s great at entertaining herself and me.
Thanks again, Lindsey! Fun questions!
You’re welcome any time, Maer!

When the creatures of myth and magic return to Earth, they’re nothing like your mother’s fairy tales.
Most of Thulu and La Fi’s clients are dead. Which is perfect since their detective agency caters to the supernatural. So, a job finding relics for an ancient daemon is simple.
The daemon needs the relics to keep a dangerous portal closed. His enemy, Gabriel, wants the relics to open the portal and give his people access to a new feeding ground – Earth.
Hoping to create chaos, Gabriel opens portals to other worlds and the creatures of magic return to Earth, stunning humanity with their existence.
When Gabriel threatens their family, Thulu and La Fi’s job becomes personal. They’ll need powerful allies in the race to find the relics before Gabriel does. But maybe that’s what grateful dead, magical allies and daemonic clients are for.
Also, go here for a chance to win a free copy of Relics or a Kindle!!
