Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Publisher Comments

In one world, theyre ordinary university students. In another world, they are a company of heroes in a place of magic and myth called Anfractus…

 

The Cree called the area Oscana, “pile of bones,” a fertile hunting ground where game abounded. The white settlers changed that to Wascana. And centuries later, it became Wascana Park, a wooded retreat in the midst of the urban sprawl of Regina.

 

For a select few, who stay in the park until midnight, the land reverts into a magical kingdom, populated by heroes and monsters. They become warriors, bards, archers, gladiators. In the city called Anfractus, they live out a real-life role playing game.

 

All harmless fun—until they find themselves in the middle of an assassination plot which threatens to upset the balance of everything.  Politics are changing, and old borders are about to disappear.  The magic of Anfractus is bleeding into the real world—an incursion far more dangerous than the students suspect. Only they know what is happening—and only they can stop it...

Review

Praise for the Fallen Blade Novels

“Aral the jack, formerly the noble Aral Kingslayer, is the best kind of hero: damaged, cynical, and despondent, yet needing only the right cause to rise from his own ashes.”—Alex Bledsoe, author of The Girls with Games of Blood

“Filled with multifaceted characters, layered plots, and the type of quixotic scenarios that only the imagination of Kelly McCullough could possibly create. The author, once again, crosses genres…Stories by Kelly McCullough are one of a kind—just like him. I found Arals world to be compelling and highly addictive. Brilliant!”—Huntress Book Reviews

 

“The world McCullough sets up was certainly the highlight of the book for me. I enjoy fantasy-world politics and dark humor, both of which are in abundance here.”—Night Owl Reviews

Synopsis

To save his girlfriend's webgoblin, Ravirn-a sorcerer with a shape-changing laptop-must brave Hell itself. Can he do it without corrupting the magical Internet-and without facing the Lord of the Dead himself?

Synopsis

Hades has a hell of a firewall in this WebMage novel from Kelly McCullough.
Not just any computer geek can hack into Hades. But Ravirn, a direct descendant of one of the three Fates, is no ordinary hacker. Magic has gone digital in the twenty-first century, and Ravirn is a sorcerer with a laptop otherwise known as his shape-changing best friend.
These days, Ravirn s crashing at his girlfriend's place while she works on her doctorate in computer science. Only one problem: all of her research is in her webgoblin's memory, which is now in Hades along with its soul. To save Cerice's webgoblin (and her PhD), Ravirn must brave Hell itself. But can he do it without corrupting the mweb the magical internet and without facing down the Lord of the Dead himself?"

Synopsis

For six years, former temple assassin Aral Kingslayer has been living as a jack of the shadow trades, picking up odd jobs on the wrong side of the law. But the past is never dead, and Aralandrsquo;s has finally caught up to him in the beautiful, dangerous form of Jax Seldansbaneandmdash;a fellow Blade and Aralandrsquo;s onetime fiancandeacute;e.

Jax claims that the forces that destroyed everything Aral once held dear are on the move again, and she needs his help to stop them. But Aral has a new life now, with a fresh identity and new responsibilities. And while he isnandrsquo;t keen on letting the past back in, the former assassin soon finds himself involved in a war that will leave him with no way out and no idea who to trustandhellip;

Synopsis

After the fall of the goddess of justice, temple assassin Aral Kingslayer lost his purpose in life and turned to the bottle. That might have been the end of him if luck hadnt given him a few people to help him get back on his feet—notably the irresistible Baroness Maylien Dan Marchon, who once sought his aid in claiming the throne thats rightfully hers. Reluctant to resume the role of an assassin, he turned her down.

 

But now Aral has learned that one of the few people willing to help him in his darkest days has been imprisoned by Mayliens uncle, King Thauvik. Aral knows he cant let an old friend die, but the alternative is to return to the life he left years ago. It was the death of Thauviks half brother that earned Aral the name Kingslayer, and now he is thrust into a war that will see no end until he lives up to his name…

This is book 2 of the Ravirn series (after Webmage). Per my usual habit, I bought Webmage used; I didn't wait with Cybermancy and Codespell (book 3). Sequels are often a disappointment; this series is still strong after three books and leaves me anxiously awaiting the next installments. A blend of mythology, technology, and criminology, this book has it all (yes, we also get romance, power, sex, and swashbuckling physical combat). All the characters have fatal flaws: but which will be the telling points in this turn of the wheel? Mccullough brings the ancient gods alive in ways that Bullfinch never managed. As the gods breathed life into mortals, the author has, at long last, breathed life into the gods -- and it's both suspenseful and funny. In this episode, Ravirn is outcast from his ancestral house, but has been given an identity of his own: a "House of One". His lady love, Cerise, is still with him, still in the good graces of her own family, although quite jealous of the attentions some of the Higher Powers are paying him. Oh, yeah -- the forces of the gods are now mostly on line, maintained by the "Magic Web" -- even gods have their limits of ability and attention, and six-plus-billion humans are just too much to handle personally. Someone seems to be hacking into the root code. Ravirn and Cerise are the two best-trained mWeb manipulators in existence: she's the systems analyst; he's the hacker / debugger. Their methods and abilities are sometimes complementary, sometimes at odds, and sometimes draw far too much attention from their elders and superiors. Still, through it all, Ravirn would go through Hell for Cerise -- but will he make it back as himself?
