FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

An exciting and unique writing style has emerged in author Carol Kluz

Marrero, Louisiana – April, 2007 – WestBank Publishing proudly announces the publication of The Chosen of Azar by Carol Kluz.  It is the first book in a gripping series titled The Fifth Age Chronicles.

Crafted in the mountains of Barranda by Azar to train young men and women to protect his creation, Haven’s Hold soon proves a challenge for Azar’s young Chosen—especially the feisty and rebellious Jenda.

Condragon knows their potential and wants them stopped.  Can five young upstarts from Haven’s Hold match his awesome power and defeat his brutal forces?

When the five discover that one of Condragon’s warlocks is already spreading his evil throughout the land, they realize they must act quickly.  But Zorad has plans of his own. And they do not include allowing the young Chosen to find their talismans and hone their powers to a degree greater than his own.  But can he stop the Chosen…and can they survive in a hostile land where danger lurks behind every stone?

Carol Kluz collaborated with book editor Gary Kessler to write Finding Go: Matching Questions and Resources in Getting Published (Winterwolf, 2004).  The authors have since turned the book into an award-winning website with totally free access for writers: www.publishingquestions.com.  She served in the U.S. Navy in personnel and worked as a proofreader for National Press; as a Web publicist representing Clifford Stevens and M.M. Lehman; and as a freelance editor.  She often utilizes the mountain scenery in her home state of Wyoming for scenes in her books. She is part of the suspense writing team of Carol Randy.  Carol has an award winning website that is listed as one of John Kremer’s 101 best book marketing sites.  Her Writer’s Resource Directory is listed as a Writer’s Digest 2007 101 best sites for writers.
