Brief Author Bio: ~CW Member~ The desire to write has been upon me since I can remember. As a child I would get together with my siblings and create impromptu plays. Or we would play imaginary adventures in our walnut tree or stranded old bus on our 30-acre homestead in Oregon. Later we converted our old Toyota wagon into a space-ship using waffle irons and toasters. It was great fun. In fact, I wish I could have taken pictures or video of some of the adventures we came up with. I'm sure they would have made great stories. Short stories, at least. Novels didn't begin blossoming in my over-active imagination until I was 16. A shy teen that was viewed as an outsider, I lived through my characters. There was so much pain and depth of emotion to experience through them! So many safe adventures of danger and risk that helped my brain figure out the cause and effect of such a wide variety of decisions. A luxury not many have access to. And how much I learned about myself! Because of my adventures with my characters I see life through different glasses. My brain sees more facets of possibilities. I'm eccentric, true, but I'm more complete and certain of my identity. A fact I wouldn't trade for all the gold in the world! I like who I've become and enjoy the challenge that is to be had in creating the perfect story for the characters sitting in the back stage of my imagination. |

Synopsis: To Save a Soul
The Pomeroys and the Kensingtons: two families at war have agreed to settle the age-old feud by arranging a marriage between them. However, the night before the wedding the bride disappears. Her body is never found, and the locals swear she now haunts the wedding mansion on the Kensington family estate.
Determined to solve the mystery, Lord Pomeroy hires ranger Para Sedi and her warrior comrade Munwar Meek. They are charged with the duty of solving the riddle of the bride's disappearance.
Excerpt: To Save a Soul
“Now this is how the ball will roll,” Para began, “I ask a question and you offer me the answer without a lot of disgruntlement. Well, maybe there will be disgruntlement, but no refusal. How’s that? Agreed? That way I keep my minion here from beating your face into the back of your head.”
The Priest That Wasn’t pulled at his bonds, the expression on his face a mixture of fear and anger. Still he offered no vocal response, and that began to pick at the back of Para’s brain.
“Munwar, have a grip at the back of this man’s neck to see if you can wring his brain loose. Or at least his mouth. It seems to be stuck closed.”
In one long stride Mun was at the man, his large hand reaching out to take up the back of the man’s neck as requested. The look of terror pushed aside any anger, and the man didn’t even yell when Mun gave him a little shake.
Para swore. “Set him down, Mun. We won’t get anything from him.”
“A spell?” Mun asked as he released the imposter. He crumpled.
“Yes, a blasted spell. The minute I started questioning him, too. So not only are we dealing with a murderer of little girls, but now there’s a magic user thrown into the mix. How perfectly lovely.”
