I participate in a round-robin letter with four older cousins. I’m not sure which “order” or degree of cousins they are: I’ve never figured out the “third cousin once removed” business. All I know is that their mother was my grandfather’s sister.
It is the only snail-mail letter I write these days, though my cousins have been doing it for decades. I got into the circle when my mother died and... read more »

updated May 10, 2012 08:57am
Description:
After blundering into the last stronghold of magic, Carin discovers that she is right to fear the wizard Verek. He is using her to seal the ruptures in the void, and she may be nothing more to him than an expendable weapon. What will he do with her -- or to her -- when his world is again secure? Or has he erred in believing that the last bridge has been broken? The quest may not, in fact, be over … and Lord Verek may find himself not quite as willing to dispose of his fiery water-sylph, Carin, as he once believed himself to be.
Book 2 of the WATERSPELL fantasy trilogy. The story begins with WATERSPELL Book 1: The Warlock and concludes with WATERSPELL Book 3: The Wisewoman.

liked a quote
“Death can be a very liberating thing, especially when you are still among the living. Knowing that you will die frees you from the crushing burden that is Life, and yes, we all know that we are going to die, but we don't all accept that fact; we don't all live with that comforting knowledge. Instead, we strive in vain to be that one person who never dies, clawing away for that position that will ensure our immortality. The journey of Life is to meet Death on our own terms, and once that can be accepted, the world is wide open. - The Reflecting Pond; Insights of Alsop Tambor”

I'm a bit dizzy this week, realizing that I've FINALLY finished the writing. This story has consumed me for a very long time. To celebrate, I'm actually doing things like getting together with family and meeting friends for lunch. All of that "normal behavior" kind of went by the wayside during the years of my obsession. LOL
Thanks much for your interest and support!
