Hello everyone; Paul here today. I feel a bit guilty taking a book blast for one of Sher’s favorite authors, but I did offer her the chance so…. I read Susan’s YA thriller, Open Minds and loved it so I can’t wait to jump into this one. This is a real treat so let’s get started!
About the Book
Title: Faery Swap | Author: Susan Kaye Quinn | Publication Date: December 19, 2013 | Publisher: Independent | Pages: 281 | Recommended Ages: 10+ Summary: Warrior faery princes can be very stubborn. Especially when they possess your body. Fourteen-year-old Finn just wants to keep his little sister out of Child Protective Services–an epic challenge with their parentally-missing-in-action dad moving them to England, near the famous Stonehenge rocks. Warrior faery Prince Zaneyr just wants to escape his father’s reckless plan to repair the Rift–a catastrophe that ripped the faery realm from Earth 4,000 years ago and set it adrift in an alternate, timeless dimension. When Zaneyr tricks Finn into swapping places, Finn becomes a bodiless soul stuck in the Otherworld, and Zaneyr uses Finn’s body to fight off his father’s seekers on Earth. Between them, they have two souls and only one body… and both worlds to save before the dimensional window between them slams shut. Faery Swap is an action and druid-magic filled portal fantasy, told by both a runaway faery prince and the boy he’s tricked into taking his place. This Prince and the Pauper meets Warrior Faeries tale is suitable for all ages.

Hi Paul, how’ve you been? I’ve seen this book around lately and I love the cover and synopsis. I’ll check out Susan’s blog after this!
Hi Claudine!
Great to hear from you. I’ve been great, but busy. I’m taking some college courses along with working & trying to find time to write. Hectic, but good. How about you? I hope all is well.
Paul
