How the Story Began ~

There have been lots of questions asking where the idea came from, or how long it took to come up with the concept. Originally, there were two ideas that gradually merged into one.

Where All the Characters Originate From ~

Some characters just come out while writing. I don't plan them. They're just born into the story. Others are pulled from long-ago ideas that I'd like to see in writing. Then there are the conceptual characters, those formed in order to produce future novels. To me, they are the most exciting and challenging ones

Thunder again. Closer.

“Hear that? We need to move!” he pleaded. Still, Katherine’s gaze stay transfixed on the orbs floating bobbing up and down as they came closer. Every now and then they would both wink at once.

“Do you see that?” she asked.

“What is it?” Twilight tried to follow her gaze.

“Katherine.” Shy let out a nervous growl. The chaotic energy was stronger now.

Wisdom, who was furthest from Katherine, pricked his ears at the faintest clop of hoofs hitting ground. He cried out her name just as a dark shape began to materialize from the mist. Nostrils flared, and its lips pulled back to reveal a set of fangs...

The First Story I Ever Wrote ~

It was around thirty-five pages in length with chapters. I wrote it on one of those old computers with the large floppy disks. It just so happened to come with a simple writing program, very similar to "notepad", except each file was limited to so many words. That where I wrote my first story.

Who would have guessed my first story would have come out as Science-Fiction? It was titled "Time Keeper". I still have it to this day, along with the original watercolor artwork idea for the cover. In 2006, I started some research to add to the story so that the day I rewrote it, it would have a better storyline. I now have the storyline. Just need to finish the writing.

What are Healers?

A Healer is a shape-shifter who takes on animal forms, depending on what element it has chosen. While actual healing abilities are limited to certain elements, Healers are hands-down the masters of manipulating landscapes, are fairly social beings, and are as stubborn as quarreling children!

There are four basic elements: Fire, Air, Earth, and Water. These elements are what comprise the magic within Nature. And yet a Healer is born with no bond to Nature whatsoever. To become One with it, they must first accept one of its elements, and has the option to purge all magic in order to change over to a different element – but can only change up to three times.

The Great Elemental Masters

Throughout history, Nature has controlled the seasons wiithout the need of Healers. But times change. Now, these three masters have been selected for their powerful talents to help balance out what Nature has done for millennium.

To become a master of the elements, one must be "reborn." Once reawakened, their connection to Nature intensifies. Energy does not burn out as quickly as regular Healers.

Masters cannot die, unless Nature no longer needs them. When dieath does come, they are simply regenerated to the level they left off. This, however, may not be possible due to the growing Darkness infesting the land, sucking away at Nature's energy needed for regeneration.

Setting up an old blog for a Graphic Novel "Wisdom, the Beginning" in which the prologue of Book One is retold with high-quality illustrations. Using a semi-realistic style, each page takes about two days to complete. The comic has been on a two year hiatus until recently. It just needed a make-over site to dispaly it.
