Alan Baxter - Dark Fantasy author's Interests
|
| Books | RealmShift - A thrilling Dark Fantasy novel by Alan Baxter, available now.
"The title draws intrigue. Impressionable cover art, glossed, and a staccato opening – almost literary – clinches it... Twice, ensconced in a tram, reading this 452 page tale, I missed my stop. Isiah, the protagonist is an immortal who detects demon sulphur on Earth. Missions all over the world but now one in his own backyard. Isiah is having one ass of a day... Alan Baxter introduces us to a mystical world, a shadowed realm with forces beyond comprehension or principle... Mr. Baxter writes with conviction; he writes differently rather well... the overall effect is notably fine. Physical and dimensional conflict is one of the best features of the tale. Effortless script makes gullible the reader, carrying him to a destination, any destination, manic laughter fading... Prose flows smoothly, almost poetic. RealmShift is a novel I am loath to put down. A most surprising read. Quite a ride." - TCM Reviews
"the story is fast-paced and engrossing... a book that was thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to reading the sequel! 4 1/2 Stars (out of 5)" - Linda, www.clubreading.com
"A fast-paced storyline that holds the reader right from the start" - Van Ikin, author and SF/Fantasy editor
"...fast-paced and full of vibrancy, the characters fascinating, and the plot intriguing" - Maggie Pragratis, Author
"Alan Baxter shows glimmers of unusual talent in his world building and prose style." - Ed Kane, POD People
"Realmshift is action packed and keeps you wanting more"

Alan Baxter - Dark Fantasy author's Blurbs |
About me:
I wear a lot of hats when it comes to making a living. Primarily I'm a Dark Fantasy author and my first novel, RealmShift, has just been published. You can find out all about it through my blog at www.www.alanbaxteronline.com which also has links to my other endeavours. I'm a Martial Artist - I study and teach Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu - and I'm a Personal Trainer. On the side, I'm a bit of an amateur photographer and musician, though I haven't been involved with a band for several years now. Check out the links from my blog to learn all about me.

RealmShift
Isiah is having a tough time. The Devil is making his job very difficult. That job is to find a Satanist that has used ancient blood magic to escape the Devil’s clutches. The Satanist, Samuel Harrigan, is on the trail of a crystal skull that he believes will complete his efforts to evade Lucifer. Isiah has to keep the Devil at bay, find Samuel and ensure that he gets to his goal. Isiah’s motivation, however, is far from altruistic or really in Samuel’s interest at all. As if this task on its own was not enough, there is a critical time factor, a psychotic mercenary, an unsuspecting journalist and any number of gods, demons and dark creatures to interfere with Isiah’s work. It’s not easy to maintain the Balance.
RealmShift is an engrossing Dark Fantasy thriller and a fascinating exploration of the nature of people’s beliefs and their effect on the world around them. Magic, action and intrigue, from dank city streets to the depths of Hell, will keep you hooked until the final page is turned.
