"I am sure many of you are curious as to why the animals appear to be so intelligent these days."  The children watched as the apparition paced back and forth on the wall in front of them.  "Let me start by explaining how we saved the animals from certain annihilation." The ghostly figure flickered out of view, as a jungle scene appeared on the concrete wall, "Man years ago," the voice

Just a quick opening from the book I am currently working on, please note this takes place after the technology wars, (great war) and yet still a few centuries before Lyam's adventures. Payne sat quietly in the front of the leather booth and worked diligently on the repair of a soldier’s boots, while he reflected on his life.  There wasn’t all that much to it really, he had awoken

"The dragons did not actually get involved with the war until after the third battle, it is the first time I have ever seen the elves so impatient."  The ancient dragon turned his scaly head towards the sky as if remembering something from a long time ago.  This was the first time anyone other than a dragon had gotten close enough to speak to the ancient one, he was so old his scales

Well young one, it is time for us to educate you on how the war between magic and technology got started.  Many centuries ago, man kind started developing on its own, and split apart from the magical world, some of the things they developed were absolutely amazing.  Such as the vehicles they created that could fly through the air and carry hundreds of people inside them, or

Well now, you say you're here to learn about the shape changers.  The library has some information on them, not quite as much information as we would like, but with Lord Draken and his wife being shape changers we are hoping to change that. Most of us have heard stories of the werewolves, but very few have ever heard of the other forms of shape changers.  There are three major types of

Well, normally I don't just post updates, but I figured I should.  I am currently writing book three of the trilogy, yeah that's correct, we're bringing it to a conclusion.  About half way done with the third book, but wanted to share something Piers Anthony wrote after reading book one: I read Lyam's Awakening, by Jeramiah Wade (available at Amazon.com).

A third of the way through with book three, and thanksgiving is just around the corner.  That leaves me with just 7 months to finish book three in order to achieve my goal of a book a year. Today I would like to show a bit of the timeline for our story, this should answer some of the questions people have about the books or events leading to particular events in the books. 2,000bce-500bce

Having studied dragons for many years, I finally met my first dragonkin today.  He himself does not know what he is, but one of these days he will discover the truth.  When I talked to my Dragon friend and asked about the crossbreeding of dragons with other races, he laughed and answered that it was possible but rare. You see it takes a very powerful human spell to

What happened to them you ask?  Well let's see if I can explain it.  Back when the Dwarves and Elves went to war against man, we signed a truce agreement with the Trolls so they would fight alongside us.  As many of our

Little known to most people, the Elves are actually of five different races.  While they all share the similar characteristics, such as being tall and having a very slim build, rarely does one weigh in at over 120 pounds.  At the same time, they have some distinct differences. The elves of the forest a very agile and usually have a slightly greenish cast to their hair and eyes.

So, you want to know about dragons huh?  Well, where do we begin?  They're big, vicious and very cunning, at least that is what the ignorant will tell you. The truth is, dragons are great people.  Once you have befriended one, you have a very good friend who will make certain you are safe to the best of his ability.   The tales are true about their size though, even

Well, I started this out from the phone, but it didn't work too well, so now I am going to post it from the desktop. Today we discuss the horse???? Midnight. Midnight is not quite a normal horse, some call him a demon steed, others call him a dark unicorn, but all fear his kind.  The reason behind this is that he is a carnivore, now that in and of itself is no big deal, but add in his

Well, I wonder how many of you are wondering about the character Rose in the book.  So let me start by saying, I have always been a cat lover and ever since the Night Howlers Creature Crucible came out for Dungeons and Dragons, I was instantly addicted to the were-cats. Rose is interesting, as she is a very intelligent young lady, who was born with Lycanthropy.  One of the changes I

Today we will talk about who Lyam Draken is.  For those of you who have read the first book, this will come as no surprise, but for those of you that have never read the book, this will give you an idea of how this character thinks. Lyam is an orphan, found in the forest when he is just a baby.  Raised by a former tracker in service to the King, he is taught from an early age to act

Well folks here is a snippet from the second book of the Draken trilogy.  This book is called The Heart of The Forest, and it too can be found on Amazon.com, and Barnes and Nobles website. The tunnel stretching out before them appeared to be level, with solid wood coffins resting in the walls on either side.  Each coffin had three inches of space between it and the top of the alcove

Time for a little background about Lyam's Awakening.... I started writing the book shortly after a stint of unemployment, it's strange I would start writing after finding a job.  It was something to do on my lunch break every day, so I started writing in a notebook.  Soon it was three college ruled notebooks of handwritten story, and when I was done it was 3.5 hand written

Here is a bit more from book one of the Draken trilogy.  Book 2, "The Heart of The Forest" is now available through Amazon.com. The next couple of days passed quickly.  They ate whatever Lyam caught in his snares, often having plenty left over to eat on the trail, the following day.  Towards the middle of the third day, there appeared to be a break in the forest ahead of them.&nbsp

I have decided to start this blog, so as to share parts of the story of Lyam Draken with other folks, so let's take a random look into what is in store for him in his first adventure.... Lyam left the building thinking how nice it would be to get back to the forests. He quickly returned to the inn, retrieved his gear, and headed off towards the forest. First things first. He would check the
