"Men have called me mad, but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or isn't the loftiest intellegence. Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
Edgar Allan Poe

Thanks to all the dear friends who supported "Rose of the Alchemist" for so long (you know who you are!) I'll be taking the sample chapters down soon because "Rose" will be published in the fall of 2013. I'll post the date as soon as I can for those who burn with desire to finally find out how the spellbinding tale of Xavier and Meri turns out!

Rose of the Alchemist

Thalia

Will Xavier follow the seductive, starlight voices into darkness for the small price of his soul?



Turning lead into gold, a dream come true, or is it? For Xavier, a young alchemist, it could be his worst nightmare!
Close to accomplishing the final stage in becoming a Master Alchemist, a strange twist of fate soon shatters his familiar world.

On the eve before Festival, Xavier is approached by a mysterious Bembine seer. The seer brings prophesy that is life changing. A dark sorcerer will seek to enslave the young alchemist because of his rare gift. Tempted by all he has ever desired, Xavier must battle for his soul.

Two invaluable allies in Xavier’s up-coming fight are Jophiel, an intelligent, Seraph falcon, his devoted guardian and occasional “mother hen," and a fiery, obstinate knight, who is really a young woman in disguise.

Xavier fall's in love with the irritatingly smug knight, even as he is lured into the sorcerer's seductive trap. Will his allies be able to save him, or will he be lost to the cold, starlight voices forever?

Your story idea is fascinating and engaging. I think that it could be enriched with a little more visual imagery. What do the characters look like? What does the place where the action is happening look like? etc. No need to over do it, but I think a little more description would enhance the story a... view book

Clever, warm and funny. Your characters are well-drawn and come alive. Being a cat person, I especially enjoyed Delilah! You succeed in creating vivid descriptions without over doing it and bogging down the plot. I've given Magpie King top stars and will back it as soon as I have space on my shelf. view book

Your narrative voice is compelling and draws the reader into the story right from the beginning. The characters are well-drawn and come alive. I loved your description: "The street was dark and dead. It was perfect for a family like us... a family who wanted to remain anonymous." The only suggestion... view book

John, I loved the narative voice of your book. It invited me into your world and made me feel at home. Illrayth is a likeable outsider and rebel, my favorite kind of character! Your images and details are vivid and well-drawn. I've given Danmeloc, Book I top stars. Thanks for the fun read! view book
