There are dragons in the world. There are goblins, beasts and trolls. Magic and darkness lurk in the hearts of men who seek power. When life is given to legend, what hero will stand and fight? What power will rise to quell the fire of Anderoth’s Dragon?The dwarves unleashed it first, ages ago from the depths beneath Locksly Sur Anon and it was Lord Anderoth who drove it back under the earth with the Trident of Norcule. The dwarves fled to a new home, their tower left abandoned and the story turned to legend. The dragon, nearly forgotten.But the greed of one man claimed the old tower, now known as Locksonon, and made an alliance with the Torokka goblins to remake the dwarf weapon craft to fill his desire for riches. But the Torokka cannot be so easily controlled and they killed a curious party from Morthonesse, including the heir to the throne. Seeking justice, his younger brother, Corbin, runs away to seek aid from the elves and finds a grouchy wood troll named Bark. But can they discover the truth behind the secrets of the tower…And if Anderoth’s Dragon yet lives?
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
I wrote my first book in 2007 (Anderoth’s Dragon) and that was after trying to understand the craft through poetry and short stories. It took some time to write that first one and it was little more than a series of events playing out till the end. I didn’t understand the fundamentals like the three act structure or the 8 point story arc or backstory, character development. There was just a lot I still didn’t understand. But I learned some of it and rewrote the book, then rewrote it again. It still wasn’t up to par. I wrote my second book (Terth Willager, Age of Mythology) a year and a bit later and it was better but not quite up to standard. That’s when the three act structure became more prominent in my process. I took some time after that to learn how the 8 point arc worked and I read more books on fiction writing, editing as well as plot and structure. During that time, I was working on a trilogy (The Theonis Trio) I had in mind for some time. I got involved with a writers’ group and we helped each other understand the writing process better and I wrote a bunch, rewrote, finished the first book in the trilogy then put it away. Why? Didn’t matter how much outlining and planning I did, I couldn’t make the story work into the second book. I took it as a sign it wasn’t time to finish it. Work and family caught up with me after that and I didn’t write much for a while. I did pick up the outline every so often to look it over, tinker with it, refine it a little. Then I got laid off March 2016. Seemed like it was a good time to try writing again. I started on an outdoor survival book (Organizing Survival the OG Wild Way) as a project for a small business (OG Wild Productions) a couple of friends and I wanted to start up and I discovered something. I could write so much easier when I just write about stuff I know and learn about instead of making it all up in fantasy fiction. I will always enjoy writing fantasy but now I have another avenue to pursue. I live now for the story wherever I find it, sitting in my office or under a tree. I’ll take inspiration when it strikes and go wherever it takes me for that is my process. That’s who I am. I am a writer.
