Spotlight & Giveaway with Author Victoria Escobar {Of Gaea}

Her choice will change the world.

She hated the wheelchair. Hated the way it made her feel less than what she was. Most of all she hated not being able to do all the things she used to. Ari had been a track and field star, an archery champion and an Eskrima pro. Now she was confined to a wheelchair slowly dying inside from its restraints.

Medical science wasn’t working. The tests, the drugs, the therapies were all useless and a waste of time. She was tired of wasting her time; she was tired of failure. It was time to look away from the obvious and try something unconventional.

Nothing was ever free and that included miracles. Abruptly, Ari finds herself tangled in a web of lies, questioning everything she’s ever known as truth. Never had she believed she’d be thrown headfirst into a world of good and evil, magic and Gods.

Trapped in the middle of a war she had never known existed both parties demanded her allegiance. Ari was a catalyst that could change all the rules of the Earth. But when the time comes to make a choice will she be strong enough to know right from wrong?





Victoria has currently rooted in New York, going to college at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division. Though she hates being cold, she toughs out the bitter New York winter for the love of family.

She writes in her spare time before and after the day job. Victoria enjoys the writing process and the creation of new characters and realities. She works by outline, less chance of falling off the wagon that way.

She reads anything she can get her hands on, and devours a book in five hours or less. Victoria reads the Young adult books and the science fiction fantasy books more than anything else. However, she can be caught reading romance novels, and classics at times depending on her whimsy. Since her imagination is well tuned, it’s difficult for her to read/watch anything horror or suspenseful. (She has a tendency for prolonged nightmares if she does.)

Victoria's Top Ten Gods and Goddesses Books

What a tough question to answer.  What are my top ten books with Gods and Goddesses? I had to stop and think about this for a moment.  There are a lot of Mythological based books that I’ve enjoyed but not all of them feature a deity.  So in keeping with the spirit of the question I’ve stuck to books that have deities in them. And I sort of cheated with ten, lol, as most of these are several book series/chronicles. Thus, I did not number them. ^_^
