About Far From Mortal Realms by Karen A. Wyle
The many wondrous realms the Fair Folk inhabit offer tempting opportunities for mortals hoping to benefit from faerie magic. But making bargains with the Fair Folk is a dangerous business, for the fae have a habit of leaving loopholes to snare the unwary. Father-and-daughter lawyers Abe and Adira have made a career out of helping their fellow humans reach such agreements safely.
Abe and Adira know the rules for dealing with Fair Folk: don’t reveal your true name, don’t say thank you, don’t accept gifts, don’t eat fae food, don’t tell even the slightest of lies . . . . Oh, and always, no matter the provocation, be unfailingly polite.
A moment of carelessness, a brief lapse, and a professional defender of mortal interests may be in dire need of rescue.

Author Bio:
Karen A. Wyle was born a Connecticut Yankee, but eventually settled in Bloomington, Indiana, home of Indiana University. She now considers herself a Hoosier. Wyle’s childhood ambition was to be the youngest ever published novelist. While writing her first novel at age ten, she was mortified to learn that some British upstart had beaten her to the goal at age nine.
Wyle is an appellate attorney, photographer, political junkie, and mother of two wildly creative offspring. Her voice is the product of almost five decades of reading both literary and genre fiction. It is no doubt also influenced, although she hopes not fatally tainted, by her years of law practice. Wyle’s near-future novels and her upcoming fantasy novel draw on her legal experience in various respects.
Wyle’s personal history has led her to focus on often-intertwined themes of family, communication, the impossibility of controlling events, and the persistence of unfinished business.
Wyle is the author of multiple science fiction novels, including The Twin-Bred Series: Books 1-3; YA novel Water to Water; and near-future novels Division, Playback Effect, Who: a novel of the near future, and Donation. Her first novel outside the SF category was the afterlife fantasy/family drama Wander Home. She then turned to historical romance with her Cowbird Creek series, including What Heals the Heart, What Frees the Heart, What Shows the Heart, and What Wakes the Heart. Her latest novel, as of September 2023, is the fantasy novel Far From Mortal Realms: A Novel of Humans and Fae, due out on September 15, 2023.
Wyle has also published one nonfiction work, Closest to the Fire: A Writer’s Guide to Law and Lawyers, a resource for authors or for anyone interested in understanding more about American law. An updated and slightly retitled edition came out at the end of July 2021.
Finally, Wyle has collaborated with illustrators on four picture books: You Can’t Kiss A Bubble; When It’s Winter; Wind, Ocean, Grass; and Where Fireflies Sleep. There are more to come!
