G.K. Masterson

I am G. K. Masterson and I grew up in Mississippi. Yes, Mississippi. And before you start on with whether or not I’m impressed by all this electricity and amazement that I am literate, let me just say a few things: William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty, and John freaking Grisham. The defense rests.

I have been writing since I could hold a pencil but really only began working on novels within the last few years. I write primarily for my own enjoyment but I wouldn’t mind making a little money off the endeavor either. I work mostly in swords’n'sorcery style fantasy but am planning two general fiction novels (one urban fantasy, one general to be specific) as well as a sci-fi series.

If you’re interested in finding out more about my novels, I invite you to click on any of the titles in the scroll-over menu above. I am currently outlining the third book of the Fall of the Lanarian Empire series and am working on another project called The Penitent.

If you’d like to drop me a line, I can be found on Facebook, or Twitter.

  If you've ever wanted to see the world through someone else's eyes, this book is a great place to start. Early on, you can't help but be drawn into Tonia Ailbe's daily routine. It's both familiar and completely different at the same time. When she engages in a very unique weekly ritual, the Ever Presence, it becomes difficult to keep track of what is real and what is just her fancy. Reading about someone's workaday life could have been dull but Fitzpatrick manages to imbue humor and a bit of magic into every routine interaction, be it making tea, going to the café, or writing a letter to a long-lost friend. Through it all, the characters she meets and spends time with seem very real and very down-to-earth. It isn't until the very end when the ritual draws to a close that you really understand that it was all a dream, of sorts. Fitzpatrick makes that shock very real and very personal, letting it hit the reader as if they were Tonia coming to the same realization themselves. The resolution is perfect and a bit open-ended, just as it should be. All-in-all, this is a great book to while away a few hours with, especially if you're longing to view the world through someone else's eyes.
