By Kari Kilgore
Charting the Unseen by Kari Kilgore digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Uncovering Hidden Worlds
Jamie knows buying real estate brings plenty of headaches, especially for a new business.
Endless inspections, unexpected problems, challenges large and small.
But Natasha knows the biggest trouble sometimes hides just out of sight.
Will her discoveries crush Jamie's dreams, or help them come true?

Part of Mystical Maps, an Uncollected Anthology

An excerpt from Charting the Unseen:

Unsuspected Influences All Around

Any other Mapper would struggle for accuracy with Natasha's papyrus, and she'd have the same problem with someone else's. The preparation bound the sheets to the Mapper so no other hand would succeed without an unreasonable amount of effort.

That didn't mean she'd succeed, of course. Only that others would likely fail.

She pulled the eyeshade into place and took a deep breath, drawing in the woodsy, sweet sandalwood. On her exhale, the distractions of the day faded out of her mind.

Natasha no longer sat on the floor of an empty warehouse level, with a flourishing neighborhood outside on a cold November day.

Her curiosity about Jamie's potential as a Mapper and her vague annoyance at his pushy realtor drifted away.

With another breath and exhalation, her consciousness balanced in the connection point where all facets of reality met, seen and unseen.

A magical junction she'd suspected as a child, so strongly she was sure she could touch it.

And as an adult, she'd learned to do not only that, but to venture forth from that nexus and explore the worlds around her.

About Kari Kilgore

Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That’s just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.

Kari’s first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.

Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.

Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she’s happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they’re better off not knowing more about.

Kari’s novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams. For more information about Kari, upcoming publications, her travels and adventures, and random cool things that catch her attention, visit www.karikilgore.com.
