Escape your quarantine by reading a fantasy

March 19, 2020March 19, 2020 by Greg Cholmondeley Comment Closed

The final volume of The Chronicles of Mearth fantasy trilogy is out! This fun, engaging saga is suitable for readers from middle school through adulthood. In other words, it's a story the entire family can enjoy reading, discussing, and hearing to mentally escape your quarantine. Yes, I said hearing. Each chapter contains a QR code you can scan with your smartphone to listen to the author read that chapter via online, streaming audio. It combines many of the benefits of paperbacks and audiobooks in a fun way using your phone. We are all stuck at home for the foreseeable future, and an epic story of contemporary people who travel to a magical world in their dreams is a terrific metaphor for how our minds can escape our quarantines. I encourage you to read the series and believe you will enjoy the tale. Learn more about these and other books by Gregory Cholmondeley at www.cholmonco.com/storyteller/. And, order copies from www.cholmonco.com/bookstore/ or on amazon. Oh, and if...

Mearth Episodes on YouTube

January 19, 2020January 19, 2020 by Greg Cholmondeley Comment Closed

Audio episodes of Stavius, volume one of The Chronicles of Mearth trilogy are airing on YouTube. Each is a 5- to 10-minute, serialized audio episode from the book. This is the same online audio readers can listen to by scanning the QR codes in the book. The only differences are that YouTube videos are free, but you have to listen to ads to buy the book at the end of each video. And, of course, you have to pause the story and wait until the next episode comes out. Learn more about The Chronicles of Mearth or buy Stavius now if you want to read it or binge on the audio. Also, be sure to subscribe to the Cholmonco Books YouTube channel where you can listen to all uploaded episodes in a single playlist....

Excerpt from The Chronicles of Mearth, Volume 3: Prophecy Epilog

Nearly 40 years ago I came up with an explanation of the cause of our universe's Big Bang, how/why our universe is expanding, and what will occur sometime in the future. I finally wrote it down in the epilog in the final volume of my Chronicles of Mearth trilogy. It's not yet published, but here is an excerpt. I hope you enjoy it. You can purchase the first two books in The Chronicles of Mearth trilogy on Amazon.com (search for cholmonco) or in my bookstore on this website. …Mars looked at Hera and said, "Tell me. What do you think you know about the cycle of the universe?" Hera looked puzzled but answered, "Well, the universe began as a singularity about thirteen or fourteen billion years ago. It then rapidly expanded into the universe we know today, which continues to expand at a constant rate, known as the Hubble constant. No one is sure whether it will continue to expand or whether it will collapse back...

Parenthood, from The Chronicles of Mearth, Book II

Here is an excerpt I wrote yesterday for my new novel. It's the second in a Young Adult series called The Mearth Chronicles but should be understandable, even without 300-pages-worth of back story. Versera, Nariana, Arielle, Stavius, and Janus are teenagers who are transported to the magical planet, Mearth in their dreams. Saiph and Juice are dragons. I should also mention that Juice has become my favorite character to write. My first 2 novels are available on Amazon. Just search for Gregory Cholmondeley to find them. (more…)...
