Well, I've said hello in the introductions section, so now I'll set aside this thread for talking a little about my work and myself.
A Little About the Book:
"The Wizard of Roaming Hall" is an epic, sweeping adventure tale about a young Chantling--a creature best described as being "half what it is and half what it isn't"--named Duck Ducaine, who has just begun his apprenticeship under the enchanter Eli. Before long, Duck bears witness to a very peculiar natural occurrence that is spoken of in an ancient prophecy, and which signifies the awakening of an age old foe.
Thrust into a conflict that predates him by centuries, Duck must now journey to Roaming Hall, where the wizard Arcevyl has long dwelt in secrecy. Though he bears no particular allegiance to the side of "good," Arcevyl is the only person in the Land who can aid Duck in his quest to defeat the kingdom's ancient enemy and end a forgotten war that has smoldered in the hearts of some and is on the cusp of outbreak. Duck quickly learns, however, that the wizard has designs of his own and is not to be trusted.
"The Wizard of Roaming Hall" begins a four-part fantasy tale 14 years in the making. Though it carries Duck through the depths of despair and darkness to the heights of a joyful yet bittersweet victory, at the story's core are humor, friendship and heart. It's a fantastical look at what it means to have true courage, and what it means to accept and live up to our life's purpose.
A Little About Me:
I have been writing since middle school--what feels like a long, long time ago--and have been slowly perfecting this story. I am my own toughest critic, though that's not an invitation to best me! In addition to writing, I am a husband and a father to an 8-month-old baby girl, a church youth director, occasional handyman and an avid player of board, card, rpg and miniatures games (quirky, I know). I live in Pennsylvania.
I look forward to sharing this story with you soon!
