About this author

Daron Fraley was born in Powell, Wyoming, but doesn't consider himself a cowboy. Living in France for a couple of years provided him the opportunity to hone his cooking skills and to become addicted to good food and chocolate. Apart from his loving family, teaching and writing are his two most favorite things in the world. A classic computer geek, he still likes to fish and camp, makes a mean apple or pumpkin pie from scratch, and once fixed a gas clothes dryer using photocopier parts. With all of his interests in music, art, the sciences, and religion (especially religion), he would have been quite comfortable living during the Renaissance. Having toured chilly castles while in France, he is glad he didn't live during that time. This is hi...more


I recently attended the LDStorymakers Writers Conference, and had a great experience. Three days of thinking about nothing but writing. I participated in Boot Camp (a way for new and improving writers to hone their craft with other writers critiquing their work) as an instructor. That is the second year in a row that I have done so, and I have loved it! I plan on participating again next year.

This book was a very enjoyable read, and felt quite authentic to the time period. The characters were well done with both vulnerable men and strong women, both of whom grow throughout the story. I don't normally read western novels, but I would recom...more

I read the Mistborn series first, then Warbreaker, and now Elantris. Once again, this book is incredibly good. Although they are nothing like Tolkien's works, Sanderson's books all give LOTR a run for the money in world-building. And I think Sanderso...more

Daron I did teach Early Morning Seminary at one time, but no longer. I do love the Scriptures, however. And I love Fantasy/Sci-Fi. :)


Author Anna del C. Dye That was go no got. (sorry the telephone distracted me.


Author Anna del C. Dye I love that painting. I am glad for the chance to see the Carl Bloch's paintings at BYU. Are you a seminary teacher...just wonder because you like to write about religion. I got for fantasy. Do read my scriptures everyday but fantasy is my cup of tea (chocolate) I mean...


Author Anna del C. Dye Nice to meet you, Daron. :)


Stephanie Skeem Hi,

Thanks for the add. Your book looks pretty cool. I'll have to take a peek at it sometime. I can't believe how many books out there I need to read.

Steph

I agree! I just recently finished Elantris too. Awesome books. I look forward to getting my hands on The Way of Kings. Thanks for the invite!


Belinda Kroll I friended you because I absolutely adore Brandon Sanderson and saw you were reading Warbreaker. I read that book in like... ten hours. Couldn't put it down. Just excellent writing.
