Prelude
to a Hero
Chronicles
of a Hero Book 1
by
Jaime Buckley
Genre:
YA Fantasy
Nerd.
Introvert. He was the hero they never knew they wanted.
All
Wendell hoped for was a decent job, a hot new car and a girlfriend to
match.
What
he got was the mantle of a legendary hero, the heart of a girl who
had no idea who he really was…and a diamond bigger than his
fist.
What
could possibly go wrong?
Prelude
to a Hero is book one in the Chronicles of a Hero series, by Jaime
Buckley. If you enjoyed Tiffany Aching, Harry Potter or Hitchhikers
Guide to the Galaxy, then you’ll love this humorous, original epic
fantasy, packed with magic, mystery and sharp kicks to the funny
bone.
"I'm
already a HUGE fan of fantasy fiction, this book appealed to me as I
felt it would be something new and unique... I wasn't left
disappointed!"

Race
to Til-Thorin
Chronicles
of a Hero Book 2
Dream
girls. Fried snails. A 30” bodyguard with pink ponytails.
Being
a hero comes with learning curves.
The
curve of a hip. The curve of a sword. The curve of a sucker punch as
it connects with your face.
It
wouldn’t be so bad if Wendell had professionals to help
him.
Instead,
he’s stuck with a feisty gnome, a senile old wizard and a green
skinned, cigar-smoking babysitter to guide him.
Is
it too late to quit?
Fans
of epic fantasy will cheer Wendell on as the Chronicles of a Hero
series continues in book two. Those who enjoy the world building
skills of J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling and Brandon Sanderson will
surely get addicted to this original new world.

"I
have not laughed so hard in a long time. I don't KNOW how long it's
been. Just when the tension is about to make my heart pop, Chuck or
Dax or a situation will pop up and make you laugh."
Into
the Fire
Chronicles
of a Hero Book 3
Stranded,
alone…with a tree sticking out of his bellybutton.
Wendell’s
task is simple: get to Til-Thorin Keep.
No
problem.
Add
to that no map, no help and no flippin’ idea where he is and you
have a day in the life of our hero.
Oh
wait—we forgot to add the army of cannibals now nipping at his
heels.
It
just might be the death of him.
Elemental
magic and nail-biting action are what you can expect in book three of
Chronicles of a Hero. Fans of Dragonlance and The Hobbit will love
this new addition to the series.

"I
think this book will be well-liked by those who like Harry Potter,
but I think it goes to a new level where those who didn't like Harry
Potter can still love this book!"
Trench
Wars
Chronicles
of a Hero Book 4
Wizards.
Elves. Giant Robots with Automatic Weapons.
Wendell
is dying for a change of scenery, but Clockworks City has a ban on
all outsiders.
It’s
a law punishable by death.
So
how does a 5’ 10” human hide among 1.5 BILLION gnomes?
By
competing in the #1 televised extreme sport in the country, of
course.
Enjoy
bullets, babes and a bowl of mushroom soup as this series jumps from
humorous fantasy to comical science fiction! If you enjoy a good
laugh, intense action and unexpected endings, you’ll love book four
in the Chronicles of a Hero series.

"(got
yelled at by mom to put my Nook away all week....*sigh*) It was that
good."
Second
Chances
Chronicles
of a Hero Book 5
Fame.
Fortune. Thrown into the City incinerator.
Wendell’s
chance at the title was always a long shot.
Since
then he’s been on TV, Radio and even has the attention of The
Church.
Fact
is, he’s more popular than ever.
So
why are people trying to kill him?
(It’s
the cheesy goatee, isn’t it.)
Second
Chances is book 5 in Jaime Buckley’s Chronicles of a Hero series.

"You
know you have found a great book when you want to slap the author and
give the author a hug at the same time, when you take some of the
plot turns personally."
The
Truth About Lies
Chronicles
of a Hero Book 6
Caught.
Tortured. Scheduled for execution. Any Questions?.
Wendell
and Dax are exposed and the gnomes of Clockwork City are freaking
out.
Are
they spies? Is this an invasion? Was this all just a terror tactic to
get gnomes to pay their taxes?
Now
with Wendell under arrest and Dax under armed guard, it’s going to
take a pardon from President Shrub to set them free.
Good
thing Chuck’s planning to kidnap his kids.
The
Truth About Lies is book six in the Chronicles of a Hero series by
Jaime Buckley. The series that makes you laugh, squirm, grit your
teeth and has you begging for more.
Make
sure to grab yourself a copy!
"I
loved this book because it takes a misfit who was never really liked
or appreciated and it shows the beginning of the process of him
unlocking his potential and becoming something greater than anyone
would have imagined for such a small, insignificant person."
The
Price of Fame
Chronicles
of a Hero Book 7
Honest
Politicians. Humane Terrorists. Religious Devils.
Then it gets
confusing…
Wendell’s
learned that gnomes are just as irritating and dangerous as
humans…they just come in smaller packaging.
Citizens
are rebelling, the government’s collapsing, the Church is selling
off the poor and Dax’s head on the chopping block.
All
Chuck needs to get everyone home is a city wide diversion, a flying
S.L.A.G., four lawyers, a hand grenade…and a tiny bit of
string.
It
feels good when a plan comes together!
The
Price of Fame is book seven in the Chronicles of a Hero series by
author Jaime Buckley. If you love a good laugh and incredible plot
twists to keep you guessing, this book will curl your toes and put a
smirk on your face!
"…packed
with wild imaginations and inspirations. It’s a rarity that a YA
book contains the combination of those three things but Wanted: Hero
has them. Seriously, you don’t want to miss reading this book in
your lifetime."

What
are my hopes for Wanted Hero?
I had someone
ask me what I wanted to get out of Wanted Hero.
A bit confused,
I asked them to clarify.
"You
know, do you want to be rich or famous? Have a movie made of your
books or what?"
Oh. I had to
think about that.
Wanting to
entertain people has been in my blood for most of my life. So the
first thing I would say is that I would like the story to be
famous, not me.
If you look at
most authors, they revolve their blogs and websites around their
names as the branding, not the story. It does happen, but I think it
is the exception, not the rule.
I live through
this storyline.
My hope is to
hear that you love the characters, the places, the story, that you
talk about it with friends and recommend it. If I'm fortunate,
someday people will write me and ask questions because this has
intrigued them.
It doesn't
matter if anyone knows me. If they know Wanted Hero and that the
author of that story cares about his readers, I'm good.
I don't think
past that.
Wendell
deserves to become famous, not me.
As for money,
that's a dangerous wish. Not that I hate money, I'm just not fixated
on it beyond wanting to care for my family. Whatever it takes to care
for Kathilynn and the children and be able to create Wanted Hero
stories as my full time living would be bliss.
So buy a book
(or seven) from WantedHero.com
if you have an eReader.
As for
Hollywood, I'm not too sure.
Movies always
sound cool, but I'm in this to create multiple intellectual
properties: games, toys, swag, collectibles, and many products
actually used in the books, etc....and from what I learned from David
Farland, you sign those rights away when you negotiate a contract
with Hollywood.
I'm not ok with
that...even for a huge payday.
I have more
confidence in myself than that.
Now, granted,
I'm completely ignorant in this area. However, money wouldn't be the
main motivator for me...so someone would have to find my hot button.
However, if
someone wanted to approach me about an animated series or an animated
feature film, I’d be a lot more interested.
That being
said, we've been busy around here for the past few years. One of our
readers created a Wanted Hero card game. We have other games
designed, including two board games and an RPG, based on the world
during the time of the Demoni Vankil. We also have a
family game called GoSmiley! that’s doing really well on Amazon, as
well as other ideas in the works….and of course, more books.
When it all
finally hits the web, I think people will be shocked.
But do you know
what I wish for, more than anything else...as my personal dreams for
this story?
If you promise
not to laugh, I'll tell you.
1. That an
international agent will find me and help me get Wanted Hero into
multiple languages and sell the rights around the world.
2. To have
Wanted Hero entries on Wikipedia...and to create
our own wiki about Wanted Hero and all its aspects.
3. That I'll
develop fans that create artwork, websites and grow this into a
culture. This is mainly because when fans get involved,
creativity explodes off the charts...and I LOVE creativity.
4. To help
change the lives of a million kids. To
inspire them to rise up and become everything they can me, despite
the odds, to be the very best THEM. Kids are the #1 reason I do this.
So there you
have it.
My hopes, my
dreams, all in a nutshell.
