Debbie Stansfield’s Fantasy Tale, Nornien Odyssey, is now available

Celenic Earth Publications is proud to announce that Debbie Stansfield’s first fantasy novel, Nornien Odyssey, is now available for purchase!

Debbie has come a long road since it was originally published by an American scam publisher, and is now happy to have it republished in it’s newly edited form. We have made a lot of effort to make sure it is as polished as possible, and to make it available all around the world.

The Book’s page has been updated now with links to its online availability. We are in the process of establishing a local launch for Debbie in her hometown, and will be sure to inform those of you who live in the Free State, South Africa, when it is available.

Free State radio stations and newspapers will soon be releasing interviews and news on this wonderful release, and as we get copies we will be sure to share them on our website.

For now, feel free to click on the image below to read more about the book and its online availability.

Our first book giveaway at the end of Winter went very well. We received a great number of responses, for which there was one paperback and nine ebook winners for the CEA Greatest Anthology Written volume.

And now with Spring upon us, it is time for our next giveaway. This time, it is not just one volume, but three books that we have up for grabs!! That is right, we are offering 1 set of the epic fantasy trilogy, Celenic Earth Chronicles, to one lucky grand prize winner, with nine winners each obtaining the Legendary Decennial Anniversary Ebook edition, with all three volumes in one complete volume!

It follows the adventures of the hero, Shadowolf, on a planet where magic is found in all of nature, specifically with the five elements of Wind, Water, Fire, Earth and the human Spirit. Taking inspiration from the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien, Raymond E. Feist, and Stephen R. Donaldson, it is a world rich with magical creatures, powerful lore and rich mysteries that only epic fantasy can provide.

Winter Paperback and Ebook Giveaway: CEA Greatest Anthology Written

We know that there are different seasons all over the world right now, but here in South Africa we are in the heart of winter… even if the weather and rain do not quite know it yet.

And so we are starting a new seasonal giveaway promotion series. Every season we will be randomly giving away 1 paperback and 9 ebooks to 10 lucky subscribers who sign up for our Newsletter.

For this Winter giveaway, we are aiming for subscriptions up until 31 July 2018. We know Winter technically ends when Spring begins in September 2018, but we have loads of other winter goodies coming up, and this is just the start.

Our world record anthology is the first to be presented as a gift! Our anthology holds short stories from 108 writers, the largest number of contributors to any anthology of short stories! The volume spans across various genres, making sure you are able to select the types of stories you want to enjoy.

We have also kept to each country’s grammar and language structures. In this volume you may come across ‘colors’ and ‘colours’ in the same book. That is because we choose to remain true to the writers and their literary culture and not abuse it by changing it to a single grammatical structure.

If you would like to read more about the writers and their stories, and our attempt at the Guinness World Record for Most Authors Contributing Towards an Anthology of Short Stories, please feel free to visit our Anthology or Ordering Pages.

If you would like to enter the competition, please click on the image below. Those who are already subscribed will automatically be entered into this and future competitions.

Winners will be notified of their prizes on 3 August 2018.

Fantasy Game Novel Heroes of Antreya: The Journey Begins Finally Available!!

And Heroes of Antreya: The Journey Begins has finally been launched!!

Despite our best intentions to have both the Paperback and Digital versions available on 15 December 2017, we had to wait for several approvals by our distributors, which only took place over this weekend.

The wait is over however. And as a special reward for your patience, we are having a launch week special, where the Paperback and Ebook copies will be on sale at $13 and $8 respectively, compared to what their normal prices will be at $17 and $10 from next week onwards.

A percentage of the sales will be going towards further development of the upcoming MMORPG, Antreya Chronicles, in which this novel’s plot will be central to the game. You can read more and select your purchase options on our special Heroes of Antreya: The Journey Begins page.

The authors have also written special articles on their experience writing the three main characters for the novel. You can visit Dean Clark’s blog to read about the creation of the Reyt (elf) Krestyl and the Siopus (human) Darius. Visit Shaun M Jooste’s blog to read more about the creation of the Minoseus (dwarf) Sernagum.
