Wit'ch Fire: The Banned and the Banished Book One - Softcover

Who am I? For those interested, I was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1961, and raised in the Midwest and rural Canada. I am now a veterinarian living in Sacramento, California, and share my home with two Dalmatians, a stray Shepherd, and a love-sick parrot named Igor. Since I was a youngster, I have always been an avid science fiction/fantasy reader. From Tarzan to Barsoom, from Asimof to Zelazny, I read everything I could get my hands on, and like most avid readers, I also dreamed of other worlds.

In WIT'CH FIRE, I will take you to one of these worlds and introduce you to Elena Morin'stal, the Wit'ch of Winter's Eyrie. Born during the "black age" of Alasea, a young girl will discover an ancient magick and awaken a slumbering evil. With a fist stained in blood magicks, she will fight to free her lands from the demonic overlords and release her people from five centuries of darkness.

It is a distinctly dark tale, and here is what bestselling horror writer, John Saul, said of the novel: "I loved every page of this book. . . A world of magic thatıs never been seen before, with a cast of beings who are so engaging and entrancing that you never want the story to end."

Yet, as dark as the tale is, it is also laced with wonder. As one of my favorite fantasy writers, R.A. Salvatore, wrote: "Wit'ch Fire grabs at your heart . . . a brutal and beautiful ride. I can't put the darned book down!" And I hope anyone who enters the lands of Alasea will not want to leave it either.
