Author Gail Z. Martin is Guest at Novello Festival Oct. 17

Gail Z. Martin, author of The Chronicles of the Necromancer fantasy book series, will be a featured author guest at Charlotte’s Novello Festival of Reading on October 17 at 7 p.m. at the Main (Uptown) branch of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Library.

Martin will talk about writing fantasy fiction and present a reading from her novel The Summoner. Tickets for the event are $15 and can be ordered online. Details are at http://www.novellofestival.org/eventdetails.asp?id=139.

In The Summoner, Tris Drayke discovers his rare magical talent as he flees for his life after the murder of his family. He is a Summoner, a mage who can mediate among the living, the dead and undead. In a world where ghosts are real, the undead respect an uneasy truce with the living and an ancient evil is about to reawaken, Tris is the Winter Kingdoms’ last best hope—if he can keep his new-found magic from destroying him.


Martin’s first novel, The Summoner, is in its third printing after its 2007 launch. Over 30,000 copies have sold internationally in just six months. The Blood King, Martin’s second novel, will be released in February 2008. Visit
