- Shannon Hunter, an eco-terrorist member of the elusive Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) discovers real elves bent on more than petty sabotage... Plunged into the a world teeming with magic she never really imagined to exist, Shannon discovers the terrible reality left to both Mankind and herself. The Elves have decreed - "Mankind stands upon its own terminus, heedless of ruin" - and its high time the real protectors of nature strike back. The only person able to do anything to prevent a supernatural war mankind cannot hope to fight; Shannon must find a way to overcome her misanthropic ways, and prevent the Elves from making a mistake that threatens not only Mankind but all life on earth. The contemporary fairy tale, "E.L.F." is set in a dystopian vein, somewhat akin to the Harry Bates' classic, "The Day the Earth Stood Still", only fantasy, not Sci-fi, and with far more epic action.

When
she opened her eyes again, she found herself looking not on a field
of fire and machines. There were no bodies, no agents - nothing but
herself in a chair. She was just seven years old. A late evening in
the office at Hunter Industry’s yard unfolded before her, looking
just as it had more than eleven years ago…
She
sat in a high-backed office chair with her back to one cozy armrest
and legs dangling over the other, peering rather disinterestedly out
a nearby window gone dark with the late hour. Halfheartedly she
followed the reflected proceedings behind her without seeming to do
so. Below she also studied the many spotlights and headlights of
dozens of crews going about their business.
On
a far hill in the dark whose trees were yet standing, out where no
crew should be working and no road did wander, she thought she saw a
new light. It came and went in just a silver flicker, but it was
there sure enough.
Her
large brown eyes perked up and she studied intently, letting the
meeting behind her lose focus as she stared through it to beyond. The
image of her father blurred and the darkness prevailed. But the
silver light did not come again.
Born in the Midwest, I share my
birthday with Leonardo Da Vinci, and seem to share a bit of that
creative monster's spirit.
I paint, draw, write, sculpt, and
more.
I'm extremely prolific when I don't have life and day-jobs
tying me down.
I published my debut novel, E.L.F. vol. 1,
White Leaves, July 1st, 2013, and hope to release the sequel,
Blighted Leaves, sometime early/mid 2014
White Leaves is
currently available at all major online retailers in both
print-paperback and eBook forms.
I do my own cover-art,
book-trailers, formatting, and marketing.
It's tough, but a
thoroughly engaging ride.
I've also done logo, cover art, and
animations for local Seattle area musicians, other musicians
elsewhere, luthiers, videographers, authors, and retailers.
