Long over due update!

I have finished the first and second draft of the fist book: Awakening. I am now in the third draft and getting really close to searching for a publisher. The book ended up having twenty two chapters stuffed full of Ethan and Eisley Lambent's amazing adventure. I can't wait for the final product but more so, I can't wait to get started on the second installment.

Illustration Sneak Peek!

This is a first look at Mikael Jury's illustrations for Awakening. 

This is a picture of the main characters (Ethan and Eisley) looking out of the Camel Back Mountains. I am so pleased to have Mikael on board for the project. His portrayals of scenes in the novel have already begun to make the experience much more rich. 

The Camel Back Mountains

I went to southern China in 2007 where I had the pleasure of traveling through what is called the foot hills of the Himalayas. The Zuang people, the largest minority group in all of China, call this range "The Camel Back Mountains."

These giant limestone hills jet directly up out of the flat lands making them look like large camels humps. They are spectacular to see in life so much so that I felt compelled to make them somewhat of a center piece of Awakening. This range is located near the border of China and Vietnam.
