Blog Tour and Giveaway with Guest Post for The Wizard Killer by Adam Dreece


The Wizard Killer
Season 1
by Adam Dreece
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic, Fantasy

"Harry Potter meets Die Hard" - M. Bybee, WereBook.org
"Madmax meets Lord of the Rings" - Goodreads.com



A world once at the height of magical technology and social order has collapsed. How and why are the least of the wizard killer’s worries.
Leaning my bloody head against the back of the crashed levitating carriage, I flex my cramped fingers. With a renewed grip on the mana-pistol, I steal a quick breath. The others better wake up fast, otherwise we’re all going to burn.
Written using a binge-TV show model, Season 1 contains 20 pulse-pounding episodes, and is an all new side to best-selling YA author, Adam Dreece.



“…an intense action movie-style romp through a wonderfully detailed fantasy world. I freaking LOVED this story! I loved the cinematic feel, I loved the action scenes, I loved the characters. It is like Harry Potter meets Die Hard” — M Bybee, WereBooks.org, 5 Stars



"...imaginative and compelling series that is quite difficult to stop reading. Dreece knows exactly how to build and then neatly tie up each episode, while leaving the reader wanting more.... highly recommended."
  • Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite, 5 Stars




The Wizard Killer
Season 2

Kill me with a floating city? You got my attention. But then steal from me and try to burn me alive? You got me thinking.
I think I’m going to find your yigging, walking carcass and introduce it to two friends of mine: pain and vengeance.
By the way, I borrowed a lightning rifle. Don’t worry, I’ll return it… empty.
See you soon,
The Wizard Killer



Season Two kicks everything up a notch with 22 all-new, action-packed episodes!





What is something unique/quirky about you?

Well, I'm sure there are other dyslexic, chronic pain 'enjoying', severe asthmatic authors who used to be software architects, so let me think. And I'm sure you don't mean dressing up as Supergirl whenever I have to write action scenes, because that's not true. Hmm, a genuine quirk might be using different voices to act out the dialogue in my books. I'll talk to the mirror, I'll walk down a street talking, all in the pursuit of living a moment that I can capture and put to paper. #NotCrazy #Crazy #NotCrazy-ish

What are some of your pet peeves?

At the ABSOLUTE top of the list has to be people who are immune to discussion. They are so self-convinced that nothing else in the realm of possibility can exist. It gets my left eyebrow twitching. Another pet peeve are indie authors who don't believe in having a professional editor. That rounds up the top five because those bother me so much, they're super-sized ;)

Where were you born/grew up at?

I was born in England, but we moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada when I was two. Despite spending 17 years there, it never quite felt like home, likely having a lot to do with the anti-English politics and bubbled up regularly.

If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?

I'd have a tranquil day, spending time with my wife and three kids, making sure that I gave each of them some one on one time.

What kind of world ruler would you be?

Metric. ;)

Adam Dreece kicked off his indie author career with his best-selling steampunk meets fairy tale series, The Yellow Hoods, which struck a chord with kids 9-15 and adults. After four books in the series, the former software architect put out two more young adult books, the post-apocalyptic fantasy book The Wizard Killer – Season One, and then his science fiction novel, The Man of Cloud 9. The first two novels in The Yellow Hoods series, as well as The Wizard Killer, have been finalists for Book of the Year awards from the Independent Author’s Network.
When he’s not working on his next book, Adam can be found giving talks at schools, libraries, associations, as well as comic-con type events like CalgaryExpo and FanExpoCanada on subjects from how to get one’s ideas out and stepping outside of one’s comfort zone, to how to give a successful book signing.
Along the way, Adam has faced many challenges, including working around his Dyslexia (reading and writing disorder), and needing to be ruthless with his time and energy in face of his severe asthma and chronic abdominal scar pain. He’s become an inspiration to some, and a symbol of tenacious hard work to others.
He lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with his wife and children. He is an active online mentor at adamdreece.com, and is a busy public speaker, panelist, and author in Canada and the Pacific Northwest.
