The Harpies are old women-bird creatures with such a vile odor one can’t help retching. Their screech can rupture ear drums and cause madness. If one is near Harpies for any length of time, it is possible to freeze out of fear. They work for Narciss, running the Diamond Mine in the Solimon Mountains. All over Dracwald, children of all ages go missing daily. If one looks in the mine, one might know where the kids are and why-which agrees with the original meaning “snatchers”. Continue reading →

This week I have some business to attend to. We’ll get back to normal posting next week. Firstly, I owe an apology to several winners from my Odessa Blog Tour. I still have your prizes to mail out—never fear, you WILL eventually get them. Last week I did a bit of gardening and apparently pinched a nerve in my back. I’ve been laid up since with incredible pain in my left leg any time I try to stand for more than a minute. My family has been awesome at filling in at the stove (my 12-year old son has become the family cook) and elsewhere. As soon as I can get my act together (my appointment with a specialist is Wednesday, cross your fingers this is something easy to fix) I will get those amazing prizes in the mail to you lucky winners. In case you don’t know who you are yet, I will list below who won and what you won—that way you can be salivating until delivery. Continue reading →

The name Conall Sean Wyman means “strong wolf”, “God’s gracious gift”, “warrior/fighter”. These phrases pretty much sum up the character of Conall the Demon Warrior. A sensitive man with a gentle heart, Conall is hardened on the exterior with battle scars and fire-toughened hide. The question becomes, will Myrna learn to trust him or will she begin to rely too heavily on him and step aside in her leadership role, thereby breaking the Prophecy? Can she use his skills and intelligence as a member of her army, although he is not technically a Vigorio? Who sent him to join her troupe? Why now and why doesn’t he just introduce himself? Why all the cloak and dagger secrecy? Continue reading →
