Chronicles of a Hero - Book Tour & Giveaway


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!"



**only 99 cents**




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.

Feed your fantasy needs and grab your copy today!

"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.

Don’t wait to grab your copy—buy one today!

"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.



Grab your copy and keep the epic buzz going!



"(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. Laugh, cheer and bite your nails as this epic fantasy takes you on a crazy ride, twisting down ramps and out a back window! 



Pick up a copy today!



"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."

There Are No Problems (Only Challenges)
Thank you so much for following this blog tour. It’s my first time and I think I’m overly excited. Both to experience something new and also to meet so many new people.
Had an interesting thought a few years ago, which changed the way I write.
I want to tweak your brain a little bit today and talk about the differences between problems and challenges.
It’s one of the issues I take Wendell through in Chronicles of a Hero, the same way I was taken through my personal training soon after I was married. For years I studied what I’ll call conflict resolution.
Let’s just say I learned how to go home at night, no matter what—and during those years of rather intense instruction, I found myself dealing with serious mental blocks. Violent people have a way of making timid brains go to mush—just like intense problems knock the wind out of us (and our sails) and we sink.
One day, trying to engage a 300 pound Samoan in class (an awesome, yet disturbingly intense young man), I found myself on the floor once too often, staring at the ceiling. There was something about this brothers very presence that defied (and even mocked) my determination to defend myself. My teacher stopped me and asked me to imagine something.
He prompted me to imagine this handsome young man with a huge scar down one cheek, a piece missing from his ear and a a huge bump from a repeatedly broken nose. Funny thing is, it wasn’t too fat removed from people I knew, so it was easy to visualize.
Once more I engaged my Samoan partner and got walloped on. Ended up on my back—wind knocked from my lungs.
“You’re still seeing this as a problem and not a challenge,” my teacher told me.
It confused me. I mean, this kid, no matter what I imagined WAS huge and strong and....my teacher cut me off.
"I want you to truly visuals the scars on his face. Think about this. Someone didn’t let him walk all over them! Somewhere in this thugs past, someone decided to dish it right back and he has to live with those scars. Someone, Jaime, refused to buckle. So...why should you?”
Huh. I never thought of this before, but he was totally right. Knowing that he wasn’t some invulnerable monster made this threat more manageable. My survival jumped from possible to probable.
Less that two minutes later, my Samoan partner was on his back and laughing, impressed. The rest of the class was spent giving a receiving blows as equal threats.
Now, how does this help you and me when it comes to goals?
It’s a mind set.
Words, you see, are signals to our brains and when we use the words problem or challenge, each send different signals. Problem identifies a struggle—to either gain or reclaim ground. There is no power in this to feed our determination or confidence level. Challenge, on the other hand, is a positive word—letting your mind know there is an adventure taking place and something to be learned, giving us a chance to demonstrate our resolve, skills and integrity.
Regardless of the words used, we will have these events in our lives—but how we perceive them will determine how we can meet and overcome what opposes us. The right words can help empower us to do...anything.
Your friend,

Jaime Buckley
