Genre

I specialize in Medieval Fantasy pieces akin to Lord of the Rings. The Dragon Charmer saga will be a trilogy available in three installments. I am planning a follow up trilogy that will follow one of the characters in the book on his journey to discover the rest of his clan. Is he truly the last? All 6 books should be released this year with about a month between releases. Stay tuned for updates, pictures, and more details from the series. If you like dragons, elves, fantasy, and Medieval adventure, these are the books for you.

Birth of the Dragon Charmer

My new book, Charmer - The Birth of the Chosen One will be released for kindle and electronic readers the first week in May. I could not call it Dragon Charmer as this title is all ready taken. I sis not want people to be confused between that book and mine. Mine is pure Medieval Fantasy and does not involve time travel. Here is a sneak peak:

The young boy shook as the thunder crashed loudly overhead. A single candle lit the interior of the rickety shack. Water trickled through the cracks in the roof, and the fire had long blown out. Sensing his fear, his mother drew near and tucked him in a little tighter. “It’s going to be fine,” she said. “This is a cleansing rain. It happens once a year. It washes the bad away and renews the countryside. You’ll see, tomorrow will be bright and sunny.” The little boy said nothing, his eyes said it all. Sitting on the edge of the bed, his mother stroked his hair. “There now. Close your eyes and I will tell you the story of the Dragon Charmer.” His face eased a little. The story was a favorite of children throughout the land.

She began.  “Once there was a king who was kind and just and loved by all. During his reign, there was peace. Food was abundant, taxes were low, and prosperity dominated. It was a great time for all. But, the king’s son had a black heart. He murdered his own father and ascended to the throne. The country instantly plunged into darkness, and the era of agony began. People were tortured, and families were torn apart. The river dried up, the land turned to dust, and a plague swept the land.”

A smile spread across the child’s face. “But there was hope, right Mother?”

“Oh, yes,” she replied, “There is always hope. You see, there was a prophecy. The era of agony would continue for 200 years. Then, during the reign of the seventh king, a child would be born.”

“The Dragon Charmer.”

“That’s right. The child bearing the dragon’s mark would possess the most ancient of gifts. This gift would allow her to summon a creature so fearsome; the king’s army could not defeat it.”

“Then, the dragon eats the king.”

“The dragon defeats the king, and peace is restored for all time.”

“When will the Dragon Charmer be born, Mom? This is the seventh king, right?”

“Well, no one knows for sure. It could be this very night.”
