My novels, The Magic Warble and The Black Shard, are fantasy stories, listed as Juvenile fiction. Even
though labeled for kids and teens, I know that some of us seasoned adults still
have a trace of that childlike wonder in us that provokes us to escape into a
magical world every now and then … at least I still do.
Growing up reading C.S. Lewis’s beloved Narnia Chronicles has
influenced me in writing The Magic Warble, a story about a 12
year old girl named Kristina Kingsly. She hates to go to school because she
doesn’t fit in. She’s bullied by some of her peers, and they make her daily
life miserable. I created this aspect of my main character's life because as a
child I had experienced dealing with bullies in school, and I remember hating
to go because of them.
The Black Shard is the sequel to The Magic Warble
and takes place 3 years later, when Kristina is 15 years old. She and her
school-mates are once again magically transported back to the land of Bernovem. This story is
not only filled with adventure, intrigue, suspense but it also deals with those
first feelings of teenage love.
The Magic Warble
& The Black Shard's underlying message is one of faith, hope,
perseverance, friendship and love.
