Read the Opening Scene to Ennara and the Fallen Druid

The opening scene to Ennara and the Fallen Druid begins:

“Misty?”

A twig snapped. A damp chill surrounded Ennara, picking up goose bumps on her arms. The girl hugged herself and stomped her feet to fend off the cold. Why couldn’t the cow make things easy for her tonight?

She took a tentative step between two wild rosebushes. The sun slowly sank toward the distant hills across Lake Coeur. If she hadn’t stayed so late fishing at the docks with Kithe, she’d be home by now, cow tucked safely in the well-lit barn.

Ennara glanced around the gloomy forest. Long shadows stretched across the pasture between her and the farmhouse. She shivered. Her father, Lir, had warned her to bring Misty back before sunset. She wasn’t afraid of the dark, but she didn’t want to meet one of the monsters stalking around at night that Kithe told her about.

A sneak peek at Icelan

Book two begins in Lan's advanced city-island Icelan, and I've been working for a while on defining that setting. Today I searched images on Google to find something similar to what I imagine Icelan would look like. And I think I finally found it. Check out this concept art by Alex Ruiz on Deviantart.

Book Two Planned!

I've started outlining book two of the Ennara series, with the working title Ennara and the Writ of Shadows. Stay tuned!

Cover Art!

I just got the final artwork from my incredible cover illustrator, Danil Shunkov. I'm so excited to share it with you! Status update on publishing: I am still querying agents and publishers, while the book is with its editor. I plan to self publish if I don't see movement from traditional publishing by the time it is polished, covers are made, blog tours are set up, and a marketing and business plan for my self-publishing press is created. That would push an early release out until June, I hope! Here's a peek at the planned cover art: The Stand in the Darkness, original cover illustration by Danil Shunkov.

New story started!

A new hero's journey has begun, in a sleepy Canadian suburb of Victoria. Stay tuned!
