Author Spotlight on S.J. Hermann
This week in my author spotlight I bring you all the way from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, S.J. Hermann, a very creative paranormal, science fiction, horror and urban fantasy author. I met SJ on twitter and I'm impressed with his social media machine and have been grateful for his support.
SJ Hermann, Author of Paranormal, Scifi, Horror, and Urban Fantasy
SJ is two-thirds the way through his YA trilogy, Morium, and is working on the third one now. The underlying theme of this series is bullying. I'm very excited to bring them to you today. SJ also has a short story available for free here, called Eventus, on smashwords.
He is also an award-winning artist. Check him out on Fine Arts America here.
S.J. Hermann and the MORIUM Trilogy are Anti-Bullying Advocates.
Here is the scoop on the first two books in the Morium
Trilogy. I love the covers and I’m excited to read them when I get a chance. S.J. has very kindly offered a free copy of Morium until May 22. Just follow this link here to Smashwords and use the code BB36E.
Morium is the story of Alexandria and Nathan... and Stacy.
Three teenagers who were bullied all throughout high school.
They kept their torment a secret from their family and tried
their best to cope in their own way. They only had each
other.
But hope was in sight.. they will be graduating soon. The
vision of a new life away from the bullies and the
constant humiliation gave them something to look forward
to. If only that day comes sooner.
One day, they saw an object fall from the sky and went to
investigate. As they touched the rock, a strange power
entered their bodies. Suddenly, they're not helpless anymore.
They can get revenge for all the suffering and pain they had to endure all these years.. How will they use these powers?
Morium is Latin for conduct, character, morals. This book discusses the moral dilemma of doing what's right and getting revenge. When your dignity has been shattered and your life has been a living hell... what is RIGHT?
Book Two of the Morium Trilogy, Dark Horizons
When the light of hope fades, all that's left are...DARK HORIZONS
In Book 2 of the MORIUM Trilogy, Alexandria and Nathan’s struggle with their supernatural powers continue.
DARK HORIZONS will immerse the reader into the intricate psyches of the bullied characters we rooted for in MORIUM. Morals aside, can we really blame Nathan for his anger and his need for revenge? Through indifference, did we not have a hand in creating the monster he has become?

The first book in this trilogy opens with an idiot thinking he could
outwit Hurricane Charley. Breathless opening sequence as the storm
seeks him out, followed by an accurate and disturbing description of
what happens to somebody caught in a hurricane.
This storm affects the people in this story very differently. Ronnie, the
female lead, is somehow transported back to the eighteenth century.
She feels the same but looks very different, and in this strange antiquated
world, she has an angry and violent brother.
There turns out to be a very good reason for her transportation, and it
has a lot to do with a bracelet she wears. I loved the way the author makes
us jump through time and back again, as we keep track of the storyline.
Going back in time is usually portrayed as an exciting occurrence, but not
in this book. Ronnie has never been treated so brutally before, and the
bloodletting scenes are brilliantly written. It’s not just Ronnie who has
been misplaced, parts of history are not right either.
This book has it all. Mysterious circumstances, violent characters, historical
facts, and more than a touch of the supernatural. Our heroine is subjected to
an arranged marriage, a witch hunt and a little romance along the way. Her
life is threatened more than once, and her struggle to live will leave you breathless.
