Recommend me some introductory fantasy reads please. (I’ve already read HP)
Anything by Terry Pratchett.
JRR Tolkien, Terry Brooks, you might like mine if you like those authors. http://www.rkwheeler.com/
*shameless plug* I have the first of my fantasy adventure trilogy available. It’s about Viviana, a lord’s daughter, with the ability to heal and manipulate fire. She has to figure out how to control her ever growing powers before she hurts or even kills someone she loves. As civil war lingers in the air, she must travel from her land to seak help and find out what she truly is. Check it out at https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LYJ1MQ3/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1531530458&sr=8-5

@Michella that is so cool…DE was the second fantasy author my high school sweetheart introduced me to, but my all-time favorite. (Terry Brooks was the first, also a good author.)
