Press Release
Award Winning Author Starr
Gardinier Signs With The Wild Rose Press
“The Other Side: Melinda's Story” slated for republication by the
Faery Rose line
Tarzana, CA; December 28, 2014: Starr Gardinier announced today that she has
signed with The Wild Rose Press in their Faery Rose imprint.
Her first book in her Other
Side series—“The Other Side: Melinda's Story”—a story told in first person
by protagonist Melinda James, is being republished in an entirely new format.
"I'm excited to see how Wild Rose is going to portray
Melinda's story," Starr says, In this first book, “The Other Side:
Melinda’s Story,” Melinda James is captive in an insane asylum—Skyview
Haven—through no fault of her own. The book conveys Melinda’s journey told in
her voice to a psychiatrist, beginning when her father ‘died’ to her eventual
release from Skyview. Her harrowing
ordeal leaves the reader wondering what’s real and what’s not. Starr asks the
readers: “If I tell you the story, will you believe me?” and it’s what Melinda
asks of her psychiatrist. Melinda’s father is dead. He tries to warn her from
the ‘Other Side’ that killers want something only she can give them. They are
beginning to get too close for comfort. Does the ‘Other Side’ exist or is it
all in Melinda’s mind? As portals open and close, Melinda must find a way to
understand that the voices speaking are sending dire warnings. She is out of
time. They are desperate to take what they feel is theirs and will stop at
nothing to get it.
Jon Land, bestselling author
of "Pandora's Temple" said, ""The Other Side: Melinda’s
Story” is one of those rare paranormal thrillers that challenges as it
entertains. Starr's wondrous, chilling tale is the best exploration of
paranoia and insular terror since Ira Levin's classic “Rosemary’s Baby.”
Supremely crafted, masterfully crafted, and elegantly written, “The Other Side:
Melinda’s Story” is a white-knuckled journey on the ride to hell."
Later, Trent Miller will pick
up his own story in “The Other Side: Trent’s Story.” This will also be published
for the first time by The Wild Rose Press, its Black Rose imprint. Starr will
keep you up-to-date with all release dates on her websites and blog.
Starr says that, “I believe creativity is limited to one’s
imagination. The Other Side series
beckoned me from deep within the recesses of my psyche; begging to be written.”
She is now working on the third book in this series, which will be told in the
viewpoint of evil at its most wicked.
