Juniper Fairchild and the Alterwhere, by Gene Turnbow
Juniper Fairchild and the Alterwhere is the first book in the Tales of the Alterwhere series. Come along for the ride. You’re going to love it here.
Some stories aren’t about heroes. They’re about second chances.
Juniper Fairchild and her only friend Megan Eastman are drawn into the Alterwhere, a half-broken fantasy world meant for girls half their age. But the Alterwhere is unraveling, and thinks Juniper and Megan are the same Lost Princess.
With a pair of misfit Fae footmen, a magical amulet that points the way but won’t open, and an enchanted model T, Juniper must cross a forbidding landscape to rescue Megan before the world collapses around them.
Witty, heartfelt and quietly epic, Juniper Fairchild and the Alterwhere is for anyone who’s ever wondered if it’s too late to matter.
What Readers Are Saying
“A thoroughly enjoyable first novel with characters who are breaking out of their own story. Fresh and dynamic with great promise for future books. Grab your bowler and jump into the Alterwhere!”
Award-winning SF writer Lawrence Schoen, author of BARSK
“Gene Turnbow’s richly-imagined world sucks you in with vivid images until a huge tome becomes a page-turner.”
Lynn Barker, former manager of the CBS Story Department, and author of Futurus Rex
“Juniper and her friend Megan swept me up with them through palaces and forests filled with intrigue and creatures stranger than I could have imagined and I loved every minute of this fantastical ride.”
