Evanterra - In the Age of Magick

Katima Halstone has lived a simple and sheltered life in the mountains of the Bellan Valley, learning the ways of magic and harnessing the powers of nature. She is a simple Magi, so how can she be the only hope for their dying world? When the fierce Dragonlord Talon Allman comes to collect her to bring her back to the Magi Council Fortress, nothing about magic or crafting in the mountains has prepared her for the perilous journey ahead of them, or for the effect that Talon has on her heart.

Bound by duty, Talon Allman, the mighty Dragonlord of the Fidelman Dragons, has the responsibility of protecting his Clan...and nothing more. Yet the captivating and mysterious Witch Katima, who is now in his care, has his mind wandering to forbidden places. She is a Magi. He is a non-magic human. The coupling of their two races is fatal, but he finds himself being helplessly drawn to her as he protects her.

When heritage, prophecy and magic collide, Katima and Talon find themselves caught up in a legacy of their own making that will alter the way their world exists and face challenges that even a forbidden love can overcome.

Cover Mockup

Creating mockups of my book covers inspires me to see my novels finished and on the shelves! The dragons on this cover are from an amazing artist named Linda M. Pitman (a.k.a. SheBlackDragon) and I encourage you to visit her web site to see more of her spectacular work! I used a backdrop of a valley and changed the coloring to give it the feeling of the beautiful countryside ravaged by war. We'll see what cover the publisher REALLY gives my book when I get a contract, but this is what I envision for now.

Author's Note

WAR OF THE HEARTS is actually birthed from a dream I had in October 2008. The dream was so real, compelling and interesting, I had to write it down. Over the two days following the dream, my husband and I brainstormed a bit of the backstory, which I also wrote down, but I let it sit there, thinking, "I have ETERNAL CONQUEST revisions to work on. I'll revisit this story later." In December 2008, I had a day where I was stranded without my thumbdrive, where I keep my current writing projects, and I wanted to be productive. So, I decided, since I had the time, I'd work a little on the storyline for the wizards and dragons dream I had a couple of months ago. WOW! Within three days I had the majority of the storyline worked out with a tremendous backstory that will be absolutely delightful to relay during the love story and all the adventure.

I'm sure you can tell, I'm a huge fan of the fantasy realm. I've always wanted to write a fantasy love story, so the excitement I have building up about this story is difficult to contain. But now I can let it unleash! The first wave of revisions (after the contract) are finished for ETERNAL CONQUEST so now I can spend time on this story. Keep checking back for updates! (Incidentally, I had to change the title from CAPTIVE HEART to WAR OF THE HEARTS since my publisher - The Wild Rose Press - already has a title on their shelf called "Captive Hearts". Oh well!
