Memories
flashed before Maegwin’s eyes: the grinning faces of Lord Meryk
Hounsey’s soldiers, the hiss and crackle of flames, the terrible
stench of seared flesh and burning hair. But most of all, she heard
her sisters screaming. Endlessly screaming.
Maegwin
had taken four lives that day. But it was not enough. Could never be
enough. A life for a life,
she thought. I will
avenge you all.
About The Last
Priestess
They call him the
Songmaker, and he is bringing civil war to the once-peaceful kingdom
of Amaury. For Maegwin, a bitter priestess, the path forward lies in
forgiving her temple's enemies—but she dreams only of revenge. For
Rovann, a king’s man, salvation might be found in the unthinkable:
defying the very king he swore to protect. Unlikely alliances must be
forged. Somehow these two must learn to trust not only themselves but
each other if they are to stand against the terrible wrath of the
Songmaker.
And so a magical epic of darkness and
redemption begins.
Author Bio
I've
been a bookworm since I was five years old. The first book I ever
read was about a boy going shopping with his mum. I picked it up
from my brother's bedroom floor and suddenly those strange
shapes on the page made sense. I could read! Hallelujah! I was soon
working my way steadily through the school library and it wasn't long
before I realized that stories about dragons, elves and great big
talking lions were by far the most interesting. And that was it, my
obsession with fantasy fiction was born. Hence, my blog about fantasy
writing, both my own and others (with a healthy dose of humour
and worldly observation thrown in.)
I
wrote and published my first book when I was seven. This was a
rip-roaring adventure tale called “The Golden Pheasant,” about,
well, a golden pheasant. I wrote out three copies on bits of paper
pulled from my school books, bound them in covers made from old
cereal boxes, and gave them out to my teachers. And that’s it. I
was a writer!
When
I’m not writing I enjoy playing tennis (badly), playing the guitar
(very badly) and watching cricket whenever I can. I’m also intent
on cramming as much world travel as I can into one lifetime. Funny,
but my list keeps getting longer. You can never see it all can
you?

I love getting comments from folks, but lately most of it has been just spam. I'm going to moderate comments for a while, because I just don't want to deal with people who tack on garbage to their comments.
