Special thanks to Tamra Weemes who has been kind enough to proof read what I've written for obvious typos, misspellings, some grammatical goofs. Any errors and typos encountered here are probably where I've made changes after she has proof read the material. Also a thanks to Laurette Bienvenu for her thoughts and insights.

I've always wanted to write a novel but never sat myself down long enough to get started. With time ticking away I decided I'd better get started. Being my first attempt I know the odds of this getting published are pretty close to nil and that is why I'm putting it up on the family site. I have a lot to learn and I'm sure it will show.

I also want to thank those on Fantasy-Writers.org who have also contributed constructive criticism and suggestions.

April 9, 2007 - I've created a new website, moving the old from Geocities and struggled with the idea of including this writing. I like to think I've come a long way since this was first written and a little embarassed to have people read it in this state; however, I decided to go ahead an put it back up. I hope to revisit this novel and rework it so it becomes a much better read.
