I'm currently, writing novels based in the world of Elendore -- The Chronicles of Elendore and, Kira – Queen of Innadril (Now renamed Blood Ties) -- where the world is full of Elves, Humans, Dwarves and Orcs. Elendore is filled with adventures, of love and war, waiting to be discovered. A civil war between the light, Trui and dark, Duni elves is about to change Elendore for every living being and creature living on its many continents and islands.

Update March 13, 2010: I'm changing a few things on my world. The Elves are now Elorine. They still may have some similarities to Elves, but I'll know more as I continue to develop this world. 

I'm also going back in time to explain how Humans came to exsist on this world. I don't have a prilimanary title to this novel yet, but I promise to update you all when I get further into this project. Oh and I'll be working with a published writer while developing and writing this story. 


                                                                      

       

       I have been an avid reader since I picked up The Black Stallion from my local library. I  devoured all the books written by Walter Farley, then proceeded to read every animal-based story I could get my little hands on. When I was twelve, my mother bought me My Friend Flicka. It was in a bin of books at a small local drug store - and only a dollar!  I'll never forget the end of that novel, because I cried all the way through the last few chapters. When my sister saw me in tears, she said, "Maybe you should put the book down for a while." Through my sobs, I replied, "I can't!" I still have the original paperback my mother bought for me, plus the hardcover versions of Thunderhead and Green Green Grass of Wyoming.

       In my senior year of high school, I took an English course in Fantasy and Science Fiction. During this course I fell head-over-heels in love with the novel Dragon Riders of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey. I also developed a love for Science Fiction novels, such as Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy. But, it was Fantasy that won my heart.
