Brief Author Bio:

I've been married almost four years. I have been writing since grade school, fiction since fourth grade. I'm an anthropologist by training (lots to go, however) and enjoy linguistics. Currently, I am a housewife, but I am working on going back to university.

Character
 
It may not be known, but it is true:
every mind is populated.
Childhood fears, joyous tears,
imaginary friends, current trends.
 
In this, a writer’s mind is special.
Could-be’s, would-be’s,
won’t-be’s, can’t-be’s.
Anthropomorphic personification.
 
People, people everywhere!
They know the stories they were written for,
all the variations in between.
They are not just characters, but more…
 
A writer’s mind is special,
nowhere else do you find fiction writing itself.
Because only here are there figments expanding,
speaking and acting of their own accord.
 
A writer is a schizophrenic, built upon
perhaps the same things in ordinary minds
or perhaps a special substance all its own.
It is the characters that make it special.
 
These “characters,” people of their own,
created by the writer; protagonist, antagonist,
lover, and friend; yet more.
These are what the writer will or will not become.
 
A writer can see into their own future, if they try.
They can see the beauty in themselves, or
the ugliness they imagined for themselves.
Joy or pain, the writer creates images of self.
 
In this place of images, a writer is:
always and never alone;
confined and boundless;
powerless and all powerful.

Synopsis: Working title: Shaman's Daughter

Moran was a simple man, a convicted criminal castrated and sold into serfdom for his crimes. Suddenly, the world turned upside down; not only are there really two parallel realm on the earth, but he's picked up a little girl with some strange...gifts? Moran knows he must protect this child and aid her at all costs, but he doesn't understand why. Moran must not only discover who this child is but find the best in himself to learn from her. All the while, they traverse the world and life seems to change at each stop and even along the way. As the girl grows into a woman, Moran learns there is more to the world than meets the eye. Somehow, the power of this girl changes people and Moran can only hope for better as he watches one after another change radically before his very eyes. 

When suddenly the new found center of his life tells him they must change their journey, Moran can only fear the challenges he must surpass next. He discovers more about the other realm they must visit. There he finds there are more than just humans in the world and the mythical peoples and creatures he'd heard tales of as a child are real. They visit towns and cities unlike any he has ever known. And then...the temple. 

Suddenly, the little girl is all grown up an Moran must make a choice. Does he continue as he is and possibly his risk all they've done or does he reclaim himself in a way he's never thought possible and let go of everything he's always assumed to be true?
