This book contains the first two volumes of the Wizards and Faeries fantasy series: Halfway and Wanderer's Shadow.
Wizards and Faeries is the anti-Harry-Potter: the wizard school is part of a shadowy organization that takes the students by force from their families. And the outside world isn't much better: if you are a wizard, you are looked upon with fear because of what you represent.
In the midst of this, in secret, twins are born: a boy and a girl. They are Halfway, the rare offspring of humans and a now-extinct race of faeries.
But the twins don't remain a secret for long. Temet, the boy, is taken as a child by the wizards. Cemagna, the girl, vows to rescue him. But the only way to escape the wizards is to keep running...
I write fantasy because it keeps us imagining. I write science fiction because it teaches us to dream about the future.
I spent most of my childhood indoors reading, since going outside meant the sun might kill me. Some of my favorite authors are Edgar Rice Burroughs, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, Patrick O'Brian, and Madeleine L'Engle. All this reading made me want to write stories myself, so I did.
When I'm not writing, I might be doing one of these other things: oil painting, graphic design, photography, singing, perfecting my Gollum voice for everyone's amusement, or enjoying nature.
Once somebody thought it was a good idea to give me a black belt and a teaching license in Shindoryu Aikijutsu.
I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana but moved up to Boston to eat snow.
