For the past 15 years I have been working on an epic fantasy trilogy.
During the pandemic years I tested the first book, The Hammer and the second book, The Medallion as a free audiobook podcast, engaging the listeners in an active review process. You can find the first 10 chapters of The Hammer on this podcast.
Book three, The Scepter is nearing completion and In the spring of 2024 I will be releasing the entire three volumes as a paperback and hard cover book of over 1000 pages.
This will be the first time that the complete story will be available as a Kickstarter exclusive offer. If you would like a preorder a copy of the Cor Series, please go to the link below.
www.kickstarter.com
SPOILER ALERT!
During the podcast years I created over forty "behind the scenes" podcasts. These short segments speak of the writing process but also contain information about the story that could spoil your enjoyment of the trilogy as a whole.

The Flower of the Cedar is a tale of dryads, from a time long before human history began. Lara, a young dryad, once had three hearts (as with all her kind). To recover them and bring them to life, she must set out on an unknown journey. Fearing the god of the land, who reportedly devours hearts, and inexplicably drawn to the lamia (who, tales say, revive hearts by an ominous method called guttings), she leaves her home, embarking on the heart-finding quest. For lovers of fantasy, mythology, and fairy tales—for those whose bookshelves may harbor the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Madeleine L’Engle, and others of their glad company—or for dabblers in mysticism and the sacred feminine—this story will doubtless have deep resonance.
