Amazon.com- http://www.amazon.com/Rayna-Nightwind-Taren-Novels I started writing early in life, at about seven or eight years of age. I was
encouraged by my school teachers to keep writing and to explore my potential. I
owe my teachers a great deal for helping me become the writer I am today. Other authors and their works. Steven Barnes, Piers Anthony, Terry Brooks,
Stephen Donaldson, just to name a few. The journey toward understanding the
writer inside of me, and ultimately coming up with my own unique writing style
was influenced largely by the books I read. In many ways, the books I read are
my mentors. They taught me the things a serious writer needs to know about the
craft: tone, pacing, character development, etc. I'm a hands on kind of person,
and it's one thing for a person to say you need create interesting characters,
and another to actually see (by reading) an author develop such a character
before your eyes. The challenge of creating a constant sense of wonder in the mind of the
reader. My current project is the second novel in the Taren series, and it takes up
where my first novel left off. At the eve of a great war, Rayna Powell, the
protagonist has the daunting task of leading a small group of unlikely heroes
across the Band, and into uncharted land in hopes of finding a way to save Taren
from destruction. I'm in the early stages of creating the story at this point,
so any specific detail is subject to change. To finish my first trilogy. In a remote cabin near the top of some treacherous mountain, as zombies
aren't known for their mountain climbing skills.
Watch a good Broadway play from the front row. Some of my favorite music has no words. |
