A fan of swashbuckling adventure novels by Alexandre Dumas of 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Count of Monte Cristo' fame, Lorna Suzuki had noticed that it was always the men going off on great adventures and enjoying the camaraderie of a brotherhood. Most often, the women were portrayed as the damsels-in-distress.
In writing the Imago Chronicles fantasy series, by adding a female protagonist, one that is reluctantly accepted into this brotherhood, the author drew on some of her own experiences as a woman in a once male-dominated field of law enforcement and martial arts to bring Nayla Treeborn the female warrior to life.
With over twenty-five years experience in various forms of martial arts, Suzuki is a 5th-dan Shidoshi (senior instructor) of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, a martial arts system incorporating six traditional samurai schools and three schools of ninjutsu under Japanese Soke, Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. Although Budo Taijutsu has a very long and rich history in Japan and is steeped in tradition, is only now growing in popularity. Practitioners of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu do not compete in the sports arena as the techniques incorporated into this system are used strictly for self-defense, never as a sport.

When Suzuki is not writing the next instalment of the Imago series or her new Young Adult Fantasy Series, 'The Dream Merchant Saga', she is a scriptwriter for audio/video life-stories customized for clients, as well as biographic documentaries for TV. Suzuki was also a consultant on the PBS TV series 'West Coast Adventures'.
She resides in the suburbs outside of Vancouver, BC with her husband, Scott White, a talented, award-winning videographer and Bujinkan Dai-Shihan, and their charming daughter, Nia.
Imago Chronicles: Books One, Two and Three is currently being considered for a TV series!
Imago Chronicles: Books One, Two and Three have been optioned to produce a major motion picture trilogy.
With the defeat of the Dark Lord, unseen forces work to destroy the surviving members of the Order. In pursuit of a rogue Wizard, they embark on a perilous journey into the east where they are confronted by a land and its people trapped in religious and political upheaval – and an alliance that will ultimately lead to the genocide of the Elven race.
Caught in this rising tide of evil, Prince Markus is forced to confront a ghost from his past while the Wizard of the West must somehow find a way to face his most powerful nemesis. And under the ever-threatening shadow of war, in the midst of betrayal and salvation, treachery and triumph, Arerys and Nayla share a kindred spirit. Their love will either serve to unite their people... or bring further dissension to a race already divided.
As the heir to the throne of Orien sows the seeds of rebellion in a desperate bid to restore peace to his lands, his actions only serve to fan the winds of war. Now, trapped within the fortress city with a dwindling force of warriors, the Order must face a massive army. If they fail to defeat the minions of evil, the race of Elves will be doomed and mankind shall fall in their shadow.
