Harry Potter Fans Flock to the Magical World of Theresa Chaze



Traverse City, MI - Harry Potter enthusiasts getting ready for Halloween are joining the ranks of other fantasy fans who have discovered the magical world of author Theresa Chaze who is also a consultant, ordained minister and Wiccan Priestess.



Chaze’s work has been compared to Marion Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey with an adult version of Harry Potter thrown into the mix.

Her major works also include the first two novels of the Dragon Clan Trilogy, Awakening the Dragon and Dragon Domain.

Other writings include Nict For Ure Selfe (Not For Ourselves, (www.theresachaze.com) and a free fantasy eBook called Sisters, Mothers, Daughters.

Chaze’s Book of Shadows, Out of the Shadows and Into the Light(www.theresachaze.com) and From Blank Page to Book Shelves are available at www.theresachaze.com and through the Amazon Kindle Program. Her screenplay, Never Can Say Good-bye, won in the 2006 Gloria Film Festival.

A Book of Shadows is a collection of magical and religious texts containing the core rituals, magical practices, ethics and philosophy of a Wiccan or other spiritual tradition. Chaze’s Out of the Shadows and Into the Light is a modern day Book of Shadows. The rituals are not based on one tradition, but are written to be inclusive. In addition, it gives a brief explanation of the beliefs of Wiccans and to some extent Paganism.

Awakening the Dragon -- Book One of the Dragon Clan Trilogy (www.theresachaze.com), ISBN 978-0-9798406-0-9) -- is a story of magic, suspense and karmic justice combined in a tale of horror. Rachael moves to Coyote Springs to find a home and open her bookstore. Instead, she becomes the catalyst in exposing a murder and the target of a violent cult. She is forced to awaken her dragon spirit prematurely to save herself and all she loves. Will she be able to control the power of the dragon as it rises giving her the power to save all she loves or will the flames from within destroy her?

In Dragon Domain -- Book Two of the Dragon Clan Trilogy http://www.theresachaze.com, ISBN 978-0-9798406-1-6) -- Cheyenne and Celeste came to Coyote Springs to save a child; instead, Cheyenne found a home. With the help of their new friend, Jane, they created a spiritual sanctuary. But when Celeste stopped running, her past caught up with her. Dominic arrived with promises of love and passion. Instead of love, he reawakened Celeste’s dark side, turning her against those she loved the most. With the aid of the dragons, Cheyenne was barely able to ward off their first attack. With each soul they bound to them, Celeste and Dominic’s greed and hatred grew until they would not settle for less than totally destroying Cheyenne and all she loves. How do you protect yourself from someone who knows how to steal your soul?



Chaze’s growing reputation as a fantasy writer is evident by what others say about her. Author Catherine J. St. Amour says: “Ms. Chaze shows colorful, visual language that will even keep the romance novel buff obsessed in finishing this novel in one read! The pacing is excellent, the main character strong and likeable, with the hint of romance to come in the final installments of the trilogy. I must say I'm already addicted to Ms. Chaze's writing style! A guaranteed page turner! Bring on the rest of the trilogy! “



Author Linda Rucker says: “Theresa Chaze captures the imagination as well as the heart of her readers. Dragon Domain is an open door to a world of wonder, and from the first page to the last, you will be hard pressed to put it down.”



And Joe Murphy of the popular The Dragon Page website says: “I found myself smiling when I finished the last page of Awakening The Dragon--Book One of the Dragon Clan Trilogy (formally Dragon's New Home), by Theresa Chaze. I've read a pretty good number of books in my life, but none have given me quite the mix of emotions that this book has.”
