Crown of Vengeance, first book of the Dragon Prophecy Trilogy, will be released on November 13, 2012. I wish to assure readers of this journal that I have not secretly changed my name to Stephen Zimmer, who also has a book called "Crown of Vengeance" coming out this month. I'm rather surprised that this seems to be such a common title.

And what is our new book about? I'm very glad you asked:

#


"He was no longer Kellen Tavadon, Knight-Mage.

"He was Vielissiar Farcarinon, Great Queen, victor of a thousand battles. Since she had been old enough to hold a sword, she had fought -– against the Centaurs, against the Minotaurs, against the Bearwards. She had fought the warring Elven tribes who would attempt to take her crown from her, and united them beneath her banner. She had brought her rule to the land from the Forests of Ulayna to the Golden Isles, and united the Hundred Houses. All of them had acknowledged her right to rule, for she was wise, favoring no House over another.

"Then, in the moment of her greatest victory, when all the land was at peace, a new enemy had come. Not just an enemy of the Elves, but an enemy of all who walked beneath the Light.

"The Endarkened."


-From "When Darkness Falls" Obsidian Mountain, Book Three

Thousands of years before the race of Men existed, long before the Wild Magic was known to exist, the Elves were great Mages who shared their world -- not peacefully -- with a vast number of other races. Their dominion extended from beyond Greythunder Glairyrill in the East to Great Sea Ocean in the West.

It was not, at that time, an empire in any sense of the word, for the Elves were a race of bloodthirsty warriors, at war with one another as well as with the Kingdoms of the Otherfolk: Centaurs, Bearwards, Minotaurs, Firesprites, Merfolk, Sphinxes, Fauns, Unicorns, Woods Giants, Dryads, Selkies, and dozens of others.

Vielissiar Farcarinon is born into a land torn apart by war....

In Sword of Vengeance we return to the world of Jer-a-Kaliel, but thousands of years before the birth of Kellen Tavadon, before the Elves first clashed with the Endarkened. In this age, Elves were eternally at war, for the Unicorn Throne had been vacant for ten thousand years, and no one in all the Hundred Houses could agree upon who was to become High King...

Misty and I hope you will join us on our latest journey into the World of Obsidian, and we hope to see you there!

The subject says it all, waiting for the next book sucks. I've been sucked into some other series lately, and now I'm waiting on them too. I think I'll go back to reading books by authors that are dead while I wait. No offense meant by that, but there's less waiting involved. I can't write a book though, and it wouldn't be very fun for me to read it if I could, so take however long you feel is necessary. The last one was so good I had dreams about it, I love it when that happens. I wished I was reading it most of the time that I wasn't, and enjoyed contemplating its complexities when I probably should have been thinking about other things. Happy writing, I'll keep waiting patiently for my next escape into the world you decide to create.

The search goes on. My Mother mistakenly recommended a well known series to me thinking that it was complete... Totally not done. I told her there were more that she hadn't read. I didn't tell her the author is alive and still finishing the series so she'll be just as frustrated as I was soon enough (a petty revenge). My problem with living authors (present company excluded of course) is that I'll start with a complete series and then I'll go on to the next one (provided that it meets my criteria of no cars/electricity) and there I am at the end of an unfinished series AGAIN. At least there's always something to look forward to.
