What did Rae's father do that put fear in people's eyes at the name Kerrigan? Simon Kerrigan is standing at a crossroads. Torn between two paths. The life of a Privy Council spy-complete with friends, white picket fences, and an undisclosed relationship with the girl he loves. Or another life. A life in untested waters, pushing the boundaries to see what lies beyond-no matter the cost. While playing the role of a dutiful boyfriend and crazy-talented spy, Simon finds himself sinking ever deeper into the darkest part of his consciousness. What happens if you mix different kinds of tatus? Why was it so wrong? What if he left the PCs? Who would stand by him? Who would join him in the inevitable fight? Could it be possible that such a little device could bring an entire county to its knees? More importantly, who is this mysterious C? In a twisted quest for knowledge and a growing obsession with the 'ultimate power, ' he crosses one line after another. Until finally, he crosses so many, he has to ask himself the question... ...Can he ever go back? The Chronicles of Kerrigan Prequel is the beginning of the story before Rae Kerrigan.

Wanita May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.

The youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.

At sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for those metric-ly challenged). She attented University of Toronto, and Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA Indoors Runner Up + more.

But you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition. From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen, the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite past time.

Life continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their house became full of more imagination and stories.

Wanita and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables - particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).

After her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting it off.

Her first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.

She is currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses take her.

This is a torturous tale, where the two friends, Tristan and Simon, seem to be out of sync with each other. There are two or three enlightening developments, but the final one is a shocker!!

Oh man

Gosh, just as you think is going to do the right thing, he blows it, each flipping time. And when finally the light starts to filter through, ahhhhhh.

These books are starting to make me sympathize with Simon and that is disturbing since I read the CoK before I read the prequels. they are all great reads

Great Addition

More and more twists and turns. How did Simon’s semi-good intentions go so off track? Can’t wait for the next adventure.

So much darkness

This man is full of so much darkness I don't know where it came from.
And he's spiralling further in to it each day.
