Merlin's Thread #2
Merlin's Weft
How do you heal the pieces of a broken soul?
Trauma destroyed Adele's life when she was seven and once again at seventeen. For years, three personalities coexisted in her head, but they all refused to interact with the world. When Arthur Ambrosius magically appeared in her life, everything changed. Now the man is gone, and the woman Adele must put her pieces together. The druid magician Merlin and the healer Neve work to create a whole woman from Adele's disparate parts, but their minds are also in jeopardy.
Merlin had fulfilled a quest that lasted fifteen hundred years. Now, stuck in a twenty-first century suburb of Houston, he's lost his direction and perhaps his moral compass. Meanwhile, Neve uncovers memories she shouldn't have, slowly tearing her psyche apart.
When Adele and her friends incur the wrath of a criminal gang that wields supernatural weapons, their lives are on the line. Who will emerge from the shards of fear, lust and rage that make up this woman's mind?

About the author
Mark Andersen
5 books14 followersMark Andersen makes stuff up. Fortunately for everyone who knows him, he restricts his fancy to writing fiction. He's the author of a contemporary fantasy series, Merlin's Thread. The first of this series, Merlin's Knot, is available for preorder and will be released May 5, 2016. He started writing professionally in 1999. For eleven years, he wrote science articles for Oilfield Review; for nine of those years he was the journal's executive editor. Sadly, he couldn't make things up during that part of his writing career. He has a PhD in physics from the Johns Hopkins University and worked in the oil industry for thirty-four years as a research scientist, domain expert, and writer. Now, Mark writes full time. No, really … he wouldn't make that up.

The second in the Merlin's Thread series, tells of magic in The Woodlands. Mystical creatures, amulets and evil reign after Ambrosius' (King Arthur) departure and the end of Merlin's Knot. This tale is told from the female viewpoint of Amber/Adele. Human tragedy, trafficking, and violence are involved with explicit detail. The story resolves how the multiple personality (schizophrenic) Amber/Adele came to be. A nice surprise at the end of the story nicely wraps up a few loose ends.
