About the author

Have you ever watched a cat stare at a wall, tracking something’s movements-- something invisible that sent shivers down your spine? Did it seem as if they were able to sense dark shadows lurking where the veil between worlds and reality thins? That’s precisely where the idea for the Netherwalker Series came from for CK Dawn!

USA Today bestselling author, coffee loving gamer girl, and Sci-fi enthusiast, CK Dawn always loved to snuggle up with her cat Hagrid (the shadow-seer) and read. But found writing was her bliss. So, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away CK let her unique modern tale of knights and Camelot dancing in her head take form and fly with Cloak of Shadows, her Readers' Favorite award winning debut novel. Now, you can find CK writing in the witching hours with Hagrid by her side while being distracted far too often by social media. There's more to come in the Netherwalker Series so stay tuned. Seriously, the story has only just begun.

CK loves connecting with readers and hopes to hear from you soon.

[Sunshine Somerville · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of the first anthologies of short stories I’ve read, ever. I think I’m going to read more of them from now on, because this was a great way to sample what different authors had to offer. I’d heard many of these authors’ names before but didn’t really know what they wrote, and now I know. Some I will dash right out to buy everything they write…others I’ll skip over.

Overall, this light anthology was a nice collection of happy or nice stories – nothing too rough, nothing too PG-13. Some stories I was familiar with because I’ve read the bigger books they’re matched with, such as “Beginnings – Protectors of the Elemental Magic” or “A Neophyte’s Tale” or “The Dreaded Birthday.” Other authors/stories were completely new to me that I absolutely LOVED, like “Queen of the Small Seas” and “The Bridge” and “Eternal Arguments.”

There were a few, however, that felt a little amateurish in either their writing or storytelling. Some felt rushed, which is understandable because finding the tempo for a short story is quite difficult. One or two I couldn’t even finish because the writing and/or characters and/or plot were just not as good as I would have hoped.

I won’t point out which ones let me down, though, because overall this collection is great and worth a read, and I’m sure some people would enjoy even the ones I didn’t.

This is the second anthology I've read from the #Awethors, and once again, all the stories are well-written and kept me interested.

I find most anthologies are a great way to find new authors, and this book is no exception.
Keanan Brand and Amelia Mapstone are just two of the authors that I will be looking to read more books by.

Although hard to pick just a few out of this book of awesome stories, my favourites, in no particular order were:
Enchantments by Claire Plaisted
Seven Years by Amelia Mapstone
and
Kristen - Witch Hunter by K S Marsden

This short story anthology was a road trip for my imagination. While reading, I was introduced to many characters and transported to mythical worlds and different eras of Earth (historical, contemporary, post-apocalyptic, afterlife). Using each author's words, my mind got a workout creating the backdrop for each tale before it ended and I was on to the next story.
I wished I could stay longer at some stops along the way and was happy to just pass through others, but all in all I enjoyed this literary jaunt and was amazed at the diversity of themes all bundled together in one anthology.
The stories that resonated with me the most were Dylan, A Neophyte's Tale, Seven Years, The Falstaff Vampire Werewolves-- yes, Vampire Werewolves, Eternal Arguments, and The Bridge Between Yesterday and Tomorrow.

This book is well written and a good read. It wasn't all my thing but, it is a good read.
