Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is Passion Tales?
Passion Tales is an ePublisher dedicated to bringing you quality illustrated eBooks in a blend of genres, including, but not limited to Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Paranormal, Horror, Science Fiction, Romance and Erotica.

What are your eBooks like?
Our up-coming releases come in .pdf format and will follow the tales of specific characters from the mythical world of Taqqara in a series of related stories that can also be read as standalone eBooks, all enhanced by spectacular digital images.

What are your stories about?
Our core storylines will follow our main characters as we build this giant interconnected story in a series of novels.  Quoren's tales, for instance, span the history of Taqqara from its creation to its end. Watch him go from benevolent fertility god to demonic sex god and back again, while struggling with the darkness growing within.  See him fall and rise again to learn the ultimate lesson of all - love.  Read as he interacts with other main characters as they too grow and learn in their tumultuous world.

What’s so different about Passion Tales?
Many things:
Our eBooks are one giant interlocking story.

• They come with high quality digital illustrations.
• Passion Tales is a training ground for promising writers, guided under the supervision of a Senior Editor to develop and enhance their skills.
• You get to interact with the characters!
• Look closely with an open mind and you will see a lot more than mere fantasy stories being told.

Is this a role playing site?
Yes and no.  PT writers tend to stay “in-character” when interacting online.

How do I become a character?
There are different levels of characters on PT.  First you must learn about our world and get to know our main characters.  Participation is key.
