BLURB:

 

The Fallenwood Chronicles is the ongoing story of Ash Kensington, a young woman who finds herself transported into a fantasy world, where she must take up arms in a battle of Good vs. Evil, against the Dark Lord Malegaunt. Tragedy strikes her life in the real world, but she finds friends in Fallenwood, like her mentor Will Everett, a talking cat named Greymalkin, and a court jester named Terces. Working together, they battle against the odds as Ash faces attacks from the world and from within. Eventually Ash finds the strength within herself, to attempt the fight against Malegaunt, against overwhelming odds, come what may

EXCERPT:


“A dark, difficult, dangerous path lies before you, Ash Kensington.” Ash’s heart grew heavy. In truth, she knew that she was destined to some terrible, dark fate. For so long, her life was filled with sadness and doubt, and one horrible thing after another. What else can I hope for? “But Ash, you must not lose hope. Our world needs you, and you must learn to be strong, so you can find the power within yourself to change things for the better. Prove that you are stronger than your Fate. Prove that you are worthy of this life that you have been given. William Everett has agreed to guide you, and there will be others in this realm that you must learn from. But your future, your life—everything from this point on is up to you. For you have been granted a precious gift—to return to the place and time you left in coming here, once your quest is through.”




A Word With the Author



What is the sweetest thing someone has done for you?

On my sixteenth birthday, my boyfriend in high school, told me to close my eyes because he had a surprise for me. And then he kissed me. 


How would you spend ten thousand bucks?

Ten thousand dollars?! That much money can buy a lot of books!!!


Where do you get your best ideas?

It is cliché, but usually they come to me in the shower or before I fall asleep, or in the middle of the night. I’ve learned to write these ideas down, right when they come to me, or risk losing them forever.

 

What comes first, the plot or characters?


I would say the characters, because it is their individual stories, that determine where the plot is going to end up going. 


What does your main character do that makes him/her special.


Ash has an indomitable will. She has a spirit of “Invictus” like the poem, that means that she will not stop until either her or Malegaunt is dead.
