KEEP THE MAGIC ALIVE!

Welcome to Pressed Leaf Publishing, 

Home of the Benjamin McTish Series.  

This is really exciting for me, bringing fans and authors 

together sharing the same passion…YA Fantasy.

I am a huge fan of this genre'.  I simply love magic! 

 I couldn't even tell you how or when this began, 

however, I love getting lost in magical worlds. 

I suppose that's it…

becoming submerged in a fantastical world of 
possibilities seems to allow you to dream 
about your own world and

how you might shift things up a bit, create a 
little magic of your own.

I love writing for kids, young people.  I'm getting such a 

tremendous response to this series so far, 

it's the reason I began writing, to see someone's 

face light up at the surprises 

and adventure in the words I've written, 

in the story I'm telling.  

And hopefully they take with them some of the insight 

that is woven into the tale and realize 
they too have what it takes to create 
some magic in their own world.

Thank you for participating in this event…

let's make it a good one.  

Our goal is for you to make some new friends and 

meet some new fans and share
 some amazing books. 

Well, as luck would have it, I just finished the 

second book in this series, yay! 

So as my gift to one lucky person I am giving a 

signed print version of both books,

Benjamin McTish and The Door Through 
The Grandfather Tree

and Benjamin McTish and The Wizards of Coranim.

SO LEAVE A COMMENT AND INCLUDE
YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO ENTER TO WIN

I will also choose two other guests 

to win ebooks of the same.

And as an honorable mention, I would love to find that

 one someone who is themselves a Young Adult 

and gift them not only their own copies of 

these two books but I would love to interview them

on my blog…let's talk about Fantasy.

And thx to everyone who participated, it means 
a lot to me.

                                                                                                                   

Book One 

The McTish Series is an explosive adventure through a dimensional Gateway into another world, a world of beauty and magic, Coranim...a land of insight, thought and possibilities, that sits beneath the enchanted Gilley Forest.

There is local legend in the small town of Grandlochcheshire that has been passed down for a 100 years about the mysterious disappearance of the Chickering family, that trails on the coat tails of the equally shocking abduction of the Skeffington Union Rails heirs. The circumstances that follow this notorious tale enter into the modern world of Benjamin and his two best mates.  

One day Benjamin watches as a mysterious little woman steps out of a taxi and in one synchronistic moment their eyes lock and a series of visual snippets of unfamiliar events unfold in his mind’s vision. His razor sharp sixth sense allows him the freedom to explore the extrasensory messages coming at him like a derailed freight train.

And when Benjamin finds a peculiar relic of a key in his grandmother’s garden shed, he could never know his world was about to change forever.

Annabel and Mathilda, two sisters who have come from America, have become more than mere friends to Benjamin, they have all become the three Muskydeers (Mathilda’s mispronounced version of Musketeers, which was a huge laugh and of course it stuck), as they are plunged head first into this curious journey.  

In the Gilley Forest they discover that the path they have chosen is inundated with many obstacles as well as intrigue.  Alliances are made with the Forest clan of Gnomes and with the aid of the Vila sisters, Sethina and Morel, as well as some surprising and unexpected allegiances, the three friends take on the test that is the Grandfather Tree.  They must stay on the pre ordained Path of Prophecy, whose ancestry comes from the home of the oldest living beings on the planet, the Elves of the Darmon. However, this is no easy task for the Muskydeers as they have the foulest of sorcery hunting their every move, the powerful dark beauty, Tar Vigorn.

This ruthless Queen is not without humor however and loves a good game of cat and mouse, as long as she’s the cat. With her biting sense of sarcasm and calculated taunting, she knows just how to unnerve Benjamin. Her phantom army, the Blunt, are searching for a way into the Grand Tree and will stop at nothing to infiltrate the pristine world beneath his giant roots.

Once in Coranim the children make the acquaintance of the greatest Medicine Elder alive, Esmerelda Fet.  A most powerful Light Sorceress with a brazen in your face attitude, who guides the trio on their Path of destiny.  However, a Path can change in the blink of an eye...what could alter the overpowering trajectory Benjamin has followed to Coranim?  How will it change his life?

Find out as our three heroes delve into the mystic, as well as their own inner character, as you watch from the edge of your seat.

BOOK TWO
I TOOK OUT THE OBVIOUS PARAGRAPH THAT WOULD SPOIL IT, SO I THINK YOU'RE SAFE

Benjamin and his friends find themselves on a ridiculously amazing ride through all that is the World of Coranim.

From the enchanting magical city of Na’Talom and the splendiferous flying contraptions of one, Pips P. Toggleton, inventor slash artist of the extraordinary, to the far off outer edge Steam Powered Metropolis of Pancilet, with the expanse of Aurorus Jungle residing in between.  And always close by is their mentor and guide, Esmerelda Fet, the endearing but brash Light Sorceress and the most accomplished Medicine Elder alive.

The Wickcliff sisters receive the utmost in unique lessons in the Land of the Winter Light from three very idiosyncratic Wizards, while Benjamin finds himself confronting the most elusive individual yet, an Aboriginal Gnome Wizard known as Locke, who is able to tweak at Benjamin’s psyche every chance he gets.

*THIS PARAGRAPH PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE READ UNTIL YOU READ THE FIRST BOOK…SO I'M TAKING IT OUT…TOO BAD, IT'S REALLY GOOD!

The sites and bustling of the Wizard city of Pancilet is an overload to the senses as great devices of transport wheel down the glistening cobblestone roads. Parasols and Top Hats dot the sidewalk strolls of the button gloved shoppers on their way to the nearest Pub for afternoon libations.  However, all is not as it seems...nor is it ever, dear reader....there are a few surprises yet in store for you as you delve into the deep waters of Coranim and the ever mysterious story of a family that appears to have some very deep secrets of their own.

I TOOK OUT THE LAST TWO SENTENCES….SO YOU'RE SAFE
