Short bio: Beth Overmyer is the author of The Goblets Immortal trilogy, a fantasy series published by Flame Tree Press. Booklist says book one is “Packed full of adventure and ending with a cliffhanger that leaves readers anxiously awaiting a sequel.” Beth’s short fiction has appeared in Lorelei Signal, Alphanumeric, and in various anthologies.
Medium bio: Beth Overmyer wrote The Goblets Immortal books at home in her small Ohio town – a far cry from the sprawling, woodsy setting of her trilogy.
Fantasy books have long been a favorite of Beth’s, so writing a series of novels in the genre was inevitable. She also enjoys foil fencing and was excited to include swordplay in HOLES IN THE VEIL.
Beth’s Flame Tree debut, THE GOBLETS IMMORTAL, was released in February of 2020. She has had short fiction appear in Big Pulp and Lorelei Signal, and her short story ‘Red’ received an honorable mention in Allegory’s 2010 spring/summer issue.
Long bio: Beth Overmyer was born and raised near Oberlin, Ohio, and she hasn’t moved far. The charming college town is a favorite haunt of hers for daydreaming when writing and planning fantasy novels. One of Beth’s greatest inspirations for her writing is found in the author J.R.R. Tolkien. The first novel she read by him was The Hobbit, which inspired her to take up the pen and make her own adventures in the realm of fantasy. Other literary heroes include Brandon Sanderson (especially his original Mistborn trilogy), Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, Douglas Adams, and Neil Gaiman. When not writing, Beth can be found reading fantasy novels, cozy mysteries, and almost any book she can get on the craft of putting words on the page. She has also volunteered at her local public library as a creative writing club leader.
Most of Beth’s education was at home, taught by her mother and various moms in P.A.T.H. and N.iC.H.E., two homeschool groups that met at churches in northern Ohio. After high school, Beth attended a community college, studying theater. She decided that the written word was more her style, so after taking a few courses, Beth took to writing as her career.
Beth has had short fiction published in Lorelei Signal, AlienSkin, Alphanumeric, and a few anthologies. Novels are now her main focus.
Booklist says book one of The Goblets Immortal trilogy, Beth’s Flame Tree debut, is “Packed full of adventure and ending with a cliffhanger that leaves readers anxiously awaiting a sequel.” And Publishers Weekly calls book two a “slow-burning mystery” with “plenty to hold fans’ interest.”
HOLES IN THE VEIL, the second book in The Goblets Immortal trilogy, is Overmyer’s third published novel.

Praise for the book:
“Overmyer has written a promising series opener with a rich supporting cast of characters; in fact, one of the novel’s strengths is that the secondary characters are just as engaging as Aiden. Readers will want to discover more about mage Meraude and her background, especially how she obtained her knowledge. Packed full of adventure and ending with a cliffhanger that leaves readers anxiously awaiting a sequel.” -Booklist
“The magic system that Overmyer creates is compelling as well as familiar, so the reader has no issues buying into it the moment it is introduced. This fantasy has a similar flavor to YA, making it a good transition novel for the teen who is ready to begin reading adult fantasy. The book is fast-paced and can be read in a day—perfect for a long airplane ride.” — SciFiMoviePage
“The Goblets Immortal is a very interesting and unique fantasy story. Aiden and Slaine are very characters that are worth following, there is cool magic, an evil Mage, and almost no knows what is going on! It is fun and chaotic, and I really enjoyed the read.” — FanFiAddict
“I had a blast reading this compelling fantasy with a wonderful character driven plot lead by a sympathetic, but kick ass main character! I highly recommend this book!” — The Haunted Fae
“A well-paced, character driven novel that immediately pulled me in and wouldn’t let me put it down.” — Jessica Belmont

“A riveting good read from cover to cover, “Holes in the Veil” (the sequel to “The Goblets Immortal”) is another extraordinary and deftly crafted action/adventure fantasy from the mind and imagination of fantasy author Beth Overmyer.” — Midwest Book Review
