Outlaw OTP

Beschreibung

Mardious and Amelia are partners in crime. They steal from the rich and give to the poor by using innovative wizard potions, manipulating mythical creatures, and summoning power from magical artefacts. Growing up in the Badlands, Mardious has only known a life of poverty, corruption, and violence. His community is isolated from the rest of the realm, and his survival has been dependent on keeping a low profile. But his partner, Amelia, wants to make a change. She yearns for their home to be prosperous and well-respected. She wants to balance the scales. Loyal to Amelia, Mardious aims to see her dream come true. By living in the shadows, using their unique skillsets, and identifying vulnerable targets, he develops a crooked plan to make it happen. Their stolen riches provide food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and hope for the uninspired. Their quest for money, power, and equality is challenging, but they understand that chasing their dream comes at a price. What they don't realize is how much it will actually cost. Although Outlaw OTP is a stand-alone story, the setting is consistent with T.K. Riggins' series How to Set the World on Fire. The series is a traditional hero's journey that explores the life of a young warrior, Kase Garrick, who dreams of being a High Guardian of the realm. Separate journeys inevitably collide, causing chaos and strife. To discover how Mardious and Amelia clash with Kase and his friends, continue the adventure with How to Set the World on Fire, Money Jane, and Next Level Hot .

Autor

T.K. Riggins started writing because of a dare. His friend was searching for something new to read, and after coming up empty handed, challenged Riggins to take action. Instead of recommending a book, he decided to pen a story of his own.

He shared an experience from his past, where he witnessed a cattle farmer deal with fetus malposition. The farmer was able to reach inside the cow, turn the calf around in the womb, and reorient the birthing position. With a little bit of tugging, some questionable language, and a healthy dose of faith, the calf entered the world and took its first breath with ease.

Growing up in the city, Riggins thought he witnessed a miracle. The calf was struggling and was surely dead, but with the help of the farmer it was alive and well. Riggins turned this day on the farm into a fantasy story by replacing the cow with a flying lion, and the miracle work of the farmer into a tale of magic, because the experience was magical to him.

His audience loved the story, so Riggins was obligated to make more. Instead of focusing on just the farm, he used other aspects of his life to create a world involving the physical strength of a warrior, the intellectual prowess of a scholar, and the passionate magic of a wizard. After a while, he had a whole book!

Although he doesn't have a typical writer's background in Literature or Education, his BSc in Mechanical Engineering helps him innovate, problem solve, and attack his series with a fresh perspective. He's able to take a classic fantasy setting and add a modern twist, creating a world and story of his own.

T.K. Riggins is the Chanticleer OZMA award-winning author of the fantasy novel How To Set The World On Fire. Originally from the Midwest, he now lives on the Canadian west coast, where he enjoys hiking the path less traveled, swimming against the current, and continuously pushing the boundaries.
