The Revenants are coming. Only recently woken from their centuries' long slumber, the dragons are unprepared to face them. But when a legend is uncovered, revealing the existence of a lost tribe of mages, hope flickers to life.
The race is on as Tyler Durand and Anwen Kaida rush to find this missing tribe while the others prepare for their last stand. But time and numbers are against them, and Anwen fears that even if they find the lost mages, it will be too late.
Author Interview:
1. What is your favorite book that is not yours?
It really depends on the mood I'm in, but I tend to go back to Ann McCaffrey's Harper Hall Trilogy.

2. Do you write in multiple genres? Which genre is your favorite to write?
I do write in multiple genres. At present, it's primarily YA fantasy/fiction, but I also have a children's picture book out. And I plan on going into more adult thriller/romance/adventures.

3. How young were you when you started writing?
I'd say I was probably when I was about five or six, after I'd taught myself how to read.

4. If you could meet any author, past or present, who would it be and why?
I would love to meet Tolkien. He's like the father of modern fantasy, and I really would love to pick his brain about world building and so forth.

5. How long does it take you to write a book, and what was your fastest book to write?
It usually takes me between 6-8 months to write the first draft. The fastest I've written one was in about a week, which happened to be my children's book.

6. What is your favorite thing to do in the summertime?
In the summertime, I pretty much do what I do most of the rest of the year: read, write, bake, craft, and have the occasional dip in the pool or random road trip.
