Finally, I have completed the third book in my ‘Mists of Cala’ series, called ‘Darphon’s Dawn’. This book provides the conclusion to the story that was begun in ‘Karin’s Cloak’. In this third book, the barrier has finally fallen, and Urdumal and his demons have taken over the magedoms. The story picks up about two years after the fall. The characters who were central to the first two books continue on in this third book, and the reader learns the details of the fall through their eyes as they reflect back on events while planning their next steps. To be honest, I approached the writing of the third book with some trepidation. Could I make this book as interesting as the first two, and still reach a surprise, exciting ending that wraps up the loose ends? Like my other books, inspiration finally came, and once I got started I had little difficulty completing it. Unlike my other books, this one at least I created a rough outline before I started, because I had so many disparate pieces I needed to bring together. It worked so well, I am taking that same approach with the second book in my ‘Abicus Turne’ series.
By the way, a very interesting boutique store in Indian Trail, North Carolina, called ‘Dragonfly Thrift Boutique’ now carries my ‘Mists of Cala’ series. They have a very interesting room within their store called the Fantasy Realm–a perfect venue for selling my books. If you prefer paperback novels to ebooks and live in the Charlotte area, this is the best place to buy these books, since you save the time and expense of Amazon shipping.
