| Bio: | Welcome to the World of Dreams... First Summer's Eve has come and all elves celebrate as the black moon's shadow fades from the world. It is also Luthiel's fifteenth birthday. With it come two extraordinary and dangerous surprises: a Wyrd Stone, its silvery heart a window into a world of dreams and nightmares, and a Blade Dancer, dreaded protector of the Faelands, who bears a dark message. Instead of celebration, Luthiel is given a terrible choice: if she does nothing, someone she loves deeply will die. Or, to save a life, she can break the most perilous law of the Faelands and venture alone to the Vale of Mists. If she chooses the journey, she must race Othalas -- eldest and most feared of all the werewolves -- past great black spiders who weave webs out of nightmares, through glittering mists with the power to reshape flesh, and at last into death by the teeth of the dark and ancient Vyrl, who feed on the blood of elves. Either choice will bring death -- unless Luthiel can find the secret in her remarkable Stone, a secret that even the nightmares fear. Official Author LiveJornal of Robert Marston Fanney For the past ten years, I've been working on a fantasy epic. It's about Luthiel, who to me is the very spirit of the nightingale born to a world formed in the magic of dreams. She's a female epic hero, a great lady who runs with wolves. Luthiel's Song is her tale. The first novel, Dreams of the Ringed Vale, is complete and in print. I've been both amazed by the response I've gotten and the book's relative success in such a short time -- as the book is now in its fourth printing! A mythic history of the setting - Oesha, is also finished and I've completed the rough draft of book 2 -- War of Mists. The magic of dreams, detailed fantasy landscapes, original fantasy races, a new alphabet, language and mystic symbolism are all now a part of this wonderful place, where the light of the great lady shines clear and cool as moonlight on a snow kissed earth. What drives me to write? So many things! Foremost is my love of experience and adventure. But playing an equal part is my fascination with and deep love of female heroes. The cliche we often see is the brave young man on a quest to save the world. In him lies a violent power to slay the evil things. What about a brave young lady on a quest to save the life of someone she loves? What about her healing power to mend the hurts in dark things and turn them to goodness and strength -- even those with the blackest hearts? It's a tale I've missed for so long I decided to write it myself. ***** If you like, you can also find me here: www.myspace.com/luthielssong | |||||
