Editing client publishes his next fantasy novel

An editing Beyond the Sapphite Gate RV Johnson client of mine has published his latest epic fantasy story.

R.V. Johnson’s “Beyond the Sapphire Gate” tells the story of Crystalyn, who indentured to a private artifact collector on a dying world of high technology, naively activates a gateway. Her sister finds the temptation to touch the gate irresistible and upon doing so vanishes into the gateway. Crystalyn follows, stepping into a vibrant world infused with magic and those that Use.

Aided by symbol magic that with each use slowly kills her, Crystalyn soon finds that the defining line between good and evil is not as clear as she once believed. The Dark Users want to help her, the Circle of Light wishes to use her. Can she locate her sister on this new world or will she merely be a pawn in its inhabitants’ power games?

The book is available online.

Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
