Thirty novels? I'm impressed! I'll never get that many--good luck with the sale of your book.

I'm honored to be featured on your blog, today! :)<br /><br />DAUGHTER OF ASHES is actually the first full-length Fantasy novel I've ever had published. Mostly, I work in Paranormal Suspense/Romance and Speculative Fiction. But this series has been near and dear to me for over a decade - something I've worked on steadily through the years. I couldn't be happier to finally see it in publication, and with such a great publisher! <br /><br />The story started out as most good stories do - with an perfectly innocent comment. *lol* A friend of mine cut herself paring something, and said "Too bad you can't train a knife to do this for itself." Naturally, my writer's brain kicked in and said "Whyever not?" *GRINS* And so was born the anaqueri, a sentient blade (to some degree) that, while it can't operate independent of a person, certainly has a mind of its own. It didn't take long for this blade's owner to step into the spotlight, either - a warrior unmatched, and a reluctant magic-user as well, Telyn Gwndal met all the qualifications I have for my heroes/heroines. She's brave, independent, and complex. And, over the years of writing, I've become very happy to call her a fictitious friend. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
