My It's Been A Long Time

I see from my posts that it has been a shockingly long time since I did anything like keep you in the loop. I blame this on the fact that March, April, and part of May were spent going in and out of the hospital, and the rest of May and much of June was spent packing to move.

None of these activities, you will note, leaves time or energy to write.

All of which is my craven and deeply apologetic way of explaining why the book isn't done. It's extremely annoying to be 80 pages from the end in April and still there in August.

best wishes and a speedy recovery!

I just stumbled upon this site in a google search for more about Macenor Telchi. What a delight!

If you're up for it, I do have a question - it was stated in the obsidian trilogy that Jermayan/Ancaladar (forgive my spelling, I read on audio!) were "dim" (or a similar word) and unable to do anymore magic. So how is it that Ancaladar was able to be transferred to Tiercel and have the full force of magic brought back? I've been wondering that for about a decade now! Excited to have found you here.

At the very end of "When Darkness Falls" there's a huge surge of wild magic when Savilla sacrifices the wrong person. During that surge Ancaladar is recharged with magic. In other words, Ancaladar had already regained his magic 1000 years before his bond was transferred to Tiercel.
