Some of my goals on why I write….
I have always admired truly epic tales. You know the ones I mean. The ones you get immersed and lost in. The story takes you on twists and turns you never expected, run into dead-ends that make you wheel your arms backward to prevent you from falling into an endless abyss. By the time you reach what you think is the end, you’ve read hundreds of pages and realize the end is really only the beginning of the story.
You close the book and wonder, ” Do I have the next book? Is it out yet?”
My goal with HEIRS OF PROPHECY was to make a story that would allow a younger audience access to such a tale. Since I despised waiting forever for the next part of the story, the publisher agreed not to leave readers suspended for too long. The next book, TOOLS OF PROPHECY, will come out by the end of the summer, 2012. Oh, and if you liked the first book, the second book takes the reader on much higher emotional roller coasters and has lots more fun and surprising twists throughout. You will definitely get your fill of strongly opinionated dwarves, the stoic but intense elves, and evil pervades in the assassin world. The Rivertons have trained and evolved in the book as well. I think readers will be pleased. Oh, and a few new talking pets that add lots of comedy, but promise danger for the future.
I hope that leaves you with enough hints and tidbits of what will happen in the future, and encourages you to become embroiled in the world that is Trimoria.
Oh – one more thing. I will before the end of 2012, be introducing a prequel to HEIRS OF PROPHECY which will use a very familiar female main character. It is definitely geared toward attracting new female readers, but I promise the male readers – PRINCESS INTERRUPTED, will have lots of excitement and entertainment for you guys as well.
Have a wonderful day, and if you find yourself with some time – go read a book. They are wonderful things.
