"The Wisewoman is a wonderful end to a fabulous trilogy that should be read by every fantasy reader who would like something a little different. The author cleverly creates tension without resorting to the battles, complex political intrigue and predicta...

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.

Finished the second book in the series and I can't wait to start the third book. I was not disappointed in this book either. There was never a moment I was not hooked on this book just as I was with the first.

I've never used the "Comment" box at the bottom of my Goodreads page, so I don't actually know where this message will go or who is likely to read it. But I can't keep quiet -- I must share my news:The trilogy is complete! WATERSPELL Book 3: The Wisewoman (Kindle Edition) is now available at Amazon.
And through March 10, all three books of WATERSPELL are available at Smashwords (in Nook as well as Kindle format) for half price. Enter coupon code REW50 to get a 50% discount.
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!
