This website is still under construction; more to the point, my books are under construction too. I have written, (or am writing,) seven novels to date. I started the first one in 2005, and it is currently undergoing it's sixth revision. When it is done it will probably be my first completed book. My most recent one was also my first SciFi attempt, The Third Earth. It was written rapidly, in an organized and concise manner, and then I suddenly changed my mind about the ending. It changed status from finished to half done, not forgetting the chapter alterations I have to make. Welcome to the life of a writer.
Lucky Starr
I have become a recent and complete fan of Isaac Asimov, the Science Fiction writer, and most particularly of his Lucky Starr series. I have decided to write the seventh Lucky Starr book; Lucky Starr and the Sirian Invaders.
Keepers of Dylann: Book One - The GateKeeper's Secret
My NanoWriMo novel, the first in a series, a real series.
***
The secret had been kept a long, long time. Perhaps too long. Because they were coming now, and they had to know. He was the only one left alive who remembered, who knew. He was the only one who could tell them.
Rolf came from the Valley of Cordez. Jaidon followed his mother and sister from Mount Avor. King Morganus followed a prophecy into the depths from his prosperous kingdom of Lannah. They all came through the ancient gates that had once been kept by Twydion's People, the Keepers of Dylann. Those keepers were long gone. Ever since the Betrayel dark things wandered over Dylann and even the last of Twydion's people were being threatened by the Invisible Ones. But they were coming, who would restore the order of the Keepers, and perhaps it was time for the custom to pass from those who lived below ground to those who dwelt above.
Announcing the official release of my (almost) nonfiction book, Katie's Korner; the Collection! Those of you who are on the Willow Hills Gazette mailing list recognize the title as the colomn that I (reluctantly) sometimes write. Here are all my stories, 15 in all, including serveral previously unreleased escapades. This book would make a perfect gift for anyone animal oriented in your family.
How can you get it? Well, uh, (awkward pause,) it's not quite finished. We're putting some finishing touches on it yet. *brightly,* but it should be finished this week, and I'll be sure to let you know!
NOTE: The release of this book has been postponed. But keep your eyes open for updates.
