Overview

In the coastal Village of Hjemgrend, the rhythm of life is written in wind, salt, and soil. Runa Thordottir, innkeeper and herbalist, has long trusted in the old ways, plant by the moon, listening to the sea, and never speaking of omens aloud. But this spring, something is wrong. The tides are too quiet. Flowers bloom before their time, and the animals watch the woods instead of the water. And then the ship comes, black-sailed, nameless, unmoving on the horizon. As unease spreads like frost beneath the surface of daily life, Runa begins to record the changes: strange dreams, unnatural fog, and plants that sprout with no seed. Her world doesn't feel cursed but like it's remembering something, something old, something that was never meant to return. The villagers whisper of forgotten spirits and the gods who once walked these shores. Still, Runa isn't waiting for legend to explain itself. The land is stirring. The sea is listening. And something in the silence is beginning to speak. With her loyal hound Shadow at her side and her quiet strength rooted in earth and ritual, Runa must uncover the truth behind the shifting world before what has awakened claims the Village, and the tide takes more than it gives.

Author Information

I was born in Canon City, Colorado, to Irish/Scottish parents, grew up in Canon City and Texas, now living in Florida for the last eleven years. My first book, ""Arkadia a Druid's Tale,"" was published on March 1st, 2010. I love to write since I was 14 years of age but never thought myself good enough. When I met a man that encouraged me to fulfill my dreams at the age of 32 and still encourages me to move forward with my new works of art. Now I have the sequel to Arkadia and two others published. I hope you all will enjoy them. When I'm asked if I write about myself, I have to sit back and try not to laugh. I was told that since my characters carry my pen name that my readers think it is about me. The truth is, I write under my characters' name since she is the one who is really writing the book. I'm just her instrument of use. The one that allows her to write through me. Now you might think I'm crazy, but I can assure you, I'm just as sane as everyone else. I don't want people to know my real name. Those who do already think I have lost my ever-loving mind. My family seems to think I should write successful conclusions, where the hero or heroine lives happily ever after. Yet that is not me. I want to write about good/evil, happiness/devastation. I want it where my readers are crying with the characters when they are happy or sad. I want them to want to do murder when the bad guy is out to harm another. I want my readers to cheer when the characters finally have a happy time and things have gone their way. That is who I am. The kind of writer I want to be. So yes I hide behind my main character. I use her to keep me safe.
