I published my first book myself when I was 21, and the funds it created helped put me through the second half of my college years. Then, Harper and Row, Publishers, Inc. (now HarperCollins) bought the expanded, second edition, and I was off and running. Today, after a long, wild, frustrating, disappointing, exciting, harrowing, wonderful (you get the idea) ride in the writing world, I am published in both fiction and non-fiction. The purpose of this channel is to share my work and encourage other writers to pursue their passion!

The Mayden Chronicles is a novel I am writing in REAL TIME. You can read it as I write on the website (just click the link below) We have prizes for those who comment, including a grand prize $3,800 diamond studded watch form Baume & Mercier. We feature young adult writers and posts on creating excellence in any field. We especially love to incorporate the comments from our readers into edits and next chapters.

My background for Mayden. I have traveled the globe to research and personally experience the mystical and magical traditions that have been found in virtually every culture in all eras of history. No one tradition holds the exclusive key to magic, and it is amazing how many traditions overlap. The Mayden Chronicles will be a fictional mashup of all that I have learned.
