As mentioned in her previous blog, author dj jameson smith will be releasing the third book in her Secrets Beyond Scymaria fantasy series next week—on September 25, 2015, to be exact—through her new publisher, Inknbeans Press. The middle- and high school-grade reader and the reluctant reader in particular, will be drawn from the very start as the young protagonists deal with their middle school classmates, a menacing professor and deepen their relationship with a strange creature who is the guardian for a portal to another world.
With the series nearing a mid-point of sorts, the protagonists find themselves once again outsmarting the professor and continuing their struggle to keep their new friendship a secret. As they explore their friend’s new world, these two adventurers discover that they too hold secrets within themselves—talents they must uncover quickly, then master in order to help their friend and his world. Little do they know time is running out for everyone …
Book three, The Scymarian, has the two exploring and learning about this strange world, and using a few of their newly discovered talents. They tour indescribable landscapes as they learn a bit about the tragic history of the world and confront a dangerous young man. Crucial lessons and their adventure are abruptly cut short when the professor exacts revenge back home.

As I mentioned previously, there are at least three more books in the Secrets Beyond Scymaria series. As a “panster” writer (personally, I prefer “seat of the pants”—a writer that creates the story as it occurs rather than creating an outline with a known beginning, middle and end to develop the story), I am excited to see where the story takes my characters, to watch it unfold before my eyes. I love it. With the last portion of that first manuscript nearing publication, I find myself anxious to get this next block of writing done. I’m still waiting to see how it ends.
Book 3 of Secrets Beyond Scymaria - The Scymarian will be released September 25, 2015. Order your copy today to receive one of the first copies to roll off the press - and we'll pay your shipping. Order here.
