Brief Author Bio: I love writing. Writing's easy. I have lots of ideas. Ideas are the easy part. Getting them out of my head...and onto paper...finishing something......writing sucks. Why do I do this? |

Synopsis: The Sneek of Lyonaise
( italics indicate info added after I won)
Okay, so there's an ensorcelled sleeping queen, she woke up
-her self-oriented mother who rules in her stead, dethroned
-a power-hungry, overly-influential Lord High Chancellor, K.O.
-a missing Royal Court Magician, found
-his newly come-of-age son bent on finding his father, mission accomplished
-a pair of provincial, teenage BF girls who get caught up in saving the kingdom kingdom saved
-the grieving prince regent who's gone MIA. returned joyously
-triplet princesses who've been turned into flowers no longer flowers
-a powerful, ancient professor of the magical arts who teaches the mystical creatures class still powerful and ancient
-loyal handmaiden of the sleeping queen and her over-protective younger brother I thought of them if I didn't mention them
-a murderous, scallywag nobleman his comeuppance is yet to come
-a traveling troupe of actors still acting and traveling
-magic mirrors, double books and mystical pearls all accounted for
-gentry impersonating, memory stealing, body swapping All made right
-an Enchanted Forest still enchanted
-oh yeah, and a Sneek (shape-shifter) somehow caught in the middle of everything. now, how do I get him out of prison? so the story is almost over. I promise to return to you, Leander, someday, I will not leave you imprisoned forever
It's not about whom he can trust, it's whether anyone should trust him.
Okay, here by popular demand, some semblance of a plot:
A half-sneek is sent on a mission to recover a powerful artifact for the self-serving, power-behind-the-thrown Lord High Chancellor. On his ten-year quest, all of the above-mentioned people play some part, I promise. You want more? Wait for the book.
