A Writer's Journey: From the Page to the Awards Stage
Before becoming a published author, Tempie W. Wade's love of storytelling spanned decades, but it wasn’t until 2018 that she took the bold step of pursuing her passion full-time. With a focus on historical fiction and fantasy, Wade's first book—A Timely Revolution—was met with critical acclaim and positioned her as an emerging talent. She quickly followed it up with a series of novels that captivated readers with their mix of historical depth and fantastical elements.
The success of her debut novel was followed by numerous accolades, establishing Wade as a strong voice in the historical fantasy genre. A Timely Revolution won the Best Historical Fantasy category at the 2019 American Book Fest American Fiction Awards, a prestigious recognition that affirmed her skill in blending intricate historical settings with vivid, otherworldly concepts. Since then, Wade has published ten novels, each expanding her storytelling universe and demonstrating her evolving mastery of narrative complexity.
The Timely Revolution Series: A Groundbreaking Fusion of History and Fantasy
At the core of Wade's work is the Timely Revolution series, a captivating saga that blends real-world historical events with elements of Celtic Fae mythology. The series follows time-traveling protagonists who experience pivotal moments in history, including the American Revolutionary War, through the lens of fantastical, otherworldly forces. The combination of rich historical detail with the magic and mystery of the Fae sets Wade's work apart from others in the genre.
Wade’s novels allow readers to experience history like never before, offering an immersive and entertaining way to explore significant moments in time, all while drawing on the magical realms of Celtic folklore. Each book in the series builds on its predecessor, creating a complex, layered narrative that captures the imagination and keeps readers eagerly turning pages.
“The art of blending history with fantasy is something that has always intrigued me,” says Wade. “History offers such rich stories, and when combined with the fantastical elements of folklore and myth, it can create a truly unique reading experience. I’m thrilled that readers are connecting with the Timely Revolution series, and I can’t wait to continue to share these stories with them.”
Inspirational Milestones: Writing Later in Life
What makes Wade’s journey even more remarkable is her decision to pursue a career in writing later in life. While many authors begin their careers much younger, Wade's story proves that age is no barrier to following your dreams. She has become a role model for aspiring writers, particularly those who may feel it's “too late” to start something new.
“My message to anyone who’s thinking about pursuing a creative endeavor, whether it's writing or something else, is this: it’s never too late,” says Wade. “My first book was published when I was in my late forties, and I’ve had the privilege of watching my career grow with each new story. I encourage others to take that leap of faith—whether they’re in their twenties or their sixties—because anything is possible if you believe in yourself and your work.”
Her ability to inspire others is part of what makes Wade’s story so special. She embodies the notion that it’s never too late to chase after your dreams, and her continued success serves as a testament to that belief.
