About me:
Welcome to the World of Dreams...
First Summer's Eve has come and all elves celebrate as the black moon's shadow fades from the world. It is also Luthiel's fifteenth birthday.
With it come two extraordinary and dangerous surprises: a Wyrd Stone, its silvery heart a window into a world of dreams and nightmares, and a Blade Dancer, dreaded protector of the Faelands, who bears a dark message.
Instead of celebration, Luthiel is given a terrible choice: if she does nothing, someone she loves deeply will die. Or, to save a life, she can break the most perilous law of the Faelands and venture alone to the Vale of Mists.
If she chooses the journey, she must race Othalas -- eldest and most feared of all the werewolves -- past great black spiders who weave webs out of nightmares, through glittering mists with the power to reshape flesh, and at last into death by the teeth of the dark and ancient Vyrl, who feed on the blood of elves.
Either choice will bring death -- unless Luthiel can find the secret in her remarkable Stone, a secret that even the nightmares fear.

And now introducing
Luthiel's Song book II: The War of Mists
Angel or Witch?
She chose to die in her sister's place and yet she lived. Luthiel, just 15 years old, made a brave peace with the dreaded Vyrl of the Vale of Mists. Now she must face an army sent to destroy them.
With her companions -- the werewolf Othalas, the dragon Melkion, the sorcerer Mithorden, a Vyrl, and the elf Vaelros who would love her -- Luthiel races back to the angry faelands to beg forgiveness for monsters. Who, if any, will survive the journey? For the Vale is surrounded by the webs of Widdershae, and the only other path leads to the Red Moon -- where an ancient evil waits in the flames.
Beyond the Vale, the home she left is not the same. Armies march for vengeance. Powers play their hands in a game of ages. In the sky something evil stirs. Rumors of a dark prophecy. Whispers of a "Blood Witch." And signs foretelling an ancient doom terrible enough to destroy worlds.

About Me?
I guess my defining characteristic is that I don't let anything get in the way of what I love to do. I can't count the number of times I've found myself in a sticky situation simply because I followed a dream.
Such hunger for life experience has led me down a hundred paths. I've been everything from a wrestler to a choirboy, an infantry soldier to a waiter, a surfer to a snowball maker and many, many things in between.
For the past thirteen years, I've been working on a fantasy epic. It's about Luthiel, who to me is the very spirit of the nightingale born to a world formed in the magic of dreams. She is the female epic hero, the great lady who runs with wolves.
Luthiel's Song is her tale.
The first novel,
Dreams of the Ringed Vale, is complete and in print. I've been both amazed by the response I've gotten and the book's relative independent success -- having sold over 13,000 copies!
A mythic history of the setting - Oesha, is also finished and we've just put into print book 2 --
The War of Mists. I'm also about 140 pages into the rough draft of book 3
The Nightmares of Winter.
The magic of dreams, detailed fantasy landscapes, original fantasy races, a new alphabet, language and mystic symbolism are all now a part of this wonderful place, where the light of the great lady shines clear and cool as moonlight on a snow kissed earth.
What drives me to write? So many things! Foremost is my love of experience and adventure. But playing an equal part is my fascination with and deep love of female heroes. The cliche we often see is the brave knight rescuing the damsel in distress. What about the damsel rescuing the brave knight right back? That part of the tale is often unsung. I've seen so much of it, though, that I feel the poor damsels have been horribly misrepresented. So I've taken up the job and have decided to do my best to tell the truth about what makes women heroic, in an epic way.
Join me in my quest to tell the great lady's tale by flying her banner on your page:
