For Immediate Release

 

Gilded Dragonfly Books Releases New Paranormal Romance Anthology Set in North Georgia Mountains

Gilded Dragonfly Books is releasing its latest anthology, Of Mountains and Mysteries, Sunday, June 5, in the paranormal romance genre. Tasked with writing short stories that use the mysteries and magic of the North Georgia Mountains, ten authors created stories using legends, myths, and their imaginations. Some stories have shifters (humans that change into animals at will) while others have ghosts, witches, and other supernatural elements. Some stories feature only the magic of nature and the beauty of the mountains.

Nantahala is a small fictional town steeped in legends of the Native American culture and only imaginary miles from Dahlonega. Each author created her own independent story, with each one building on the lore of Nantahala to deliver individual vignettes. Some of the authors are transplants, but all are now Georgia residents.

Authors: Melba Moon, Mary Marvella, Jackie Rod, Nancy Knight, Georgiana Fields, Gina Dyer, C. C. Ansardi, Sabrina Cole,  Carol Shaughnessy, and Martha Brown

The featured stories are:

“Abandoned” by Jackie Rod: A young woman has to return to Nantahala for her grandmother’s funeral. The mystery of her father’s disappearance when she was a child haunts her.

“I’ll Be Seeing You” by C.C. Ansardi: A young woman returns with her new husband to the town that had considered her grandmother a witch. How will the town treat this bride and will she find she’s more than an empath?
