Born in antiquity, I was raised with Robert Louis Stevenson, Walter Scott and Mark Twain. I'd spend Friday nights with my grandmother and she would read to me. With sound effects and excitement.
All I've ever wanted to be is a writer and dreamed of being Ernest Hemingway. (I got the drinking part right.)
I worked for the college paper; was founding editor of a weekly newspaper; and I did a lot of magazine work, including for adult entertainment.
My fantasy books are for Jill, my wife, who loves dragon stories with strange creatures and magick. Sword and sorcery, with a blend of mystical philosophy about life and love. She and I wrote a dragon story titled Fort Jafra: Beware the Rae Jungle, which we updated and polished, and were working on a follow-up in the weeks before she died last year. Kidney Problems. Lost my best friend. I'm trying to fill the void with the fantasy she loved.
She and I published Unfinished Faces, a book of my poetry and her art. I also have written a few cookbooks. My characters like to eat.
These days, I'm in rural Central Valley, three dogs and four kittens I found in a discarded box in the walnut grove.
A cataclysmic upheaval shakes Earth to its foundation, cracking continents and killing millions. Dragons and other mythological creatures are set free to roam again a world that was once theirs. Magic is everywhere, and tied to a talisman called the Amulet, whose power controls magic, for love or hate, depending on who possesses it. An evil sorcerer arises and makes a bid to not only subdue all of humanity, but the monsters of legend as well. Only one person can possibly stop him. All Elethia ever wanted was a loving family and to practice her gift of healing, for people and the animals she cherished. But it's blood connections she hadn't known existed that thrust her into a fight for her life.
Comment from Tellest, a vibrant site for readers of fantasy
and science fiction: Probably most captivating about this story will be its wonderful cast of characters. Everyone has depth and dimension, and it doesn't hurt that several of the characters are mighty dragons, with interesting personalities themselves. The dialog is fun and witty, helping to bridge the gap between one interesting story segment and the next.
There's magic at play here in this version of India that will no doubt grip readers firmly, and compel them to keep reading, to learn the secrets that are revealed by the parting veil.
Everything written by the duo has a flair that immerses its audience, making it seem like they're experiencing the action, rather than just reading words on a page.
A lovely standalone contemporary fantasy that has plenty of secrets to unveil along the journey.
