About twelve years ago, I was inspired to develop a
character after watching the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movie trilogy for the
umpteenth time. Her name was Alexin (Alex) Dumwalt. Her father, Stephane
Eventually, I decided to publish it and it became the basis
for my first series, a trilogy called, ‘The Seaward Isle Saga.’ After that, I
continued writing another series with Alex as she learns about more her Elfin
side. It became my second series, ‘The Chronicles of Eledon’ and has four
books.
As soon as that series ended, I wrote a third one, ‘The
Admiralty Archives’ which is another trilogy. This series grew out of a ‘what
if’ question I had. What if my main character, Alex, went to the mortal world
(Earth) and got stranded there? How would she react? What would she do? Would
she adjust?
In the first book of the series, ‘Curse of the Sea,’ Alex
arrives in the mortal world when she helps some NATO sailors return to Earth
and she ends up stranded in London.
In the second book, ‘Edge of Death,’ she’s not just stranded but exiled on
Earth, so she tries to adjust. However, it seems like everyone is out to kill
her to keep her from returning home. But why? What she doesn’t know is who’s
behind the scenes pulling the strings. The last book in the series, ‘Call From
Home,’ is yet to be published and Alex is still living in the mortal world.
However, everywhere she turns she finds reminders of home. When these reminders
warn her of danger to her homeland, she takes action.
My editor/publisher, Teresa Kennedy, thought that this
series was my best work so far. I really enjoyed writing it, especially my
research trip to the U.K.

BOOK
BLURB:
In this
second installment of The Admiralty Archives, the warrior Lady Alexin, the
Keeper of the Keys for the Elf realm of Eledon, finds herself exiled to the
harsh world of near-future London. Rendered little more than a political pawn by the Elfin
Council of Elders to avoid a war with the Rock Elves, she has little choice but
to struggle to find her way in this strange new land. Taken under the
protection of kindly mentors, Vice Admiral Malcolm Teller of the British Royal
Navy and his wife, Alex brings all her skills to the fore as she uncovers a
series of deadly plots.
Murder
is on everyone's mind as an underground White Supremacist organization takes
aim at Admiral Teller while two wizards, resurrected from death, must kill Alex
in order to survive. To make matters worse, the Rock Elves dispatch a hundred assassins
from Eledon with their sole mission to bring Lady Alexin to the very… Edge of
Death.
