Hello everyone. If you haven't guessed by now I have a passion for words and have thirteen books published in a variety of genres...all thanks to Lulu and Kindle, much hard work and sleepless nights.
My eldest daughter has flown the nest and is married to a man who doesn't mind his mother-in-law though my son is still fluffing his feathers.
My middle child is off on a mysterious adventure, the like of which I can only guess...and tried to do so in my first book, Gone.
I love to read and am looking for ways to double time so to indulge in the mysterious and wonderful and delicious and strange...my favourite kind of story.
Writing is my passion, though I enjoy creating handcrafted cards, jewellery making, scrapbooking, painting, drawing, 3D art and dabbling in encaustic art whenever I can.
Oh yes, I used to teach or mark exam papers but now concentrate on writing and enjoying my new life, which materialised, as if by a miracle. Though still dislike all those necessary domestic chores that would, for me, be included in the Rings of Hell!
That's it. Thank you to anyone who reads my books...enjoy the flight!
Please note that the Bestsellerbound Anthology 3 is by various authors with only one story by me as well as in the Murder Madness and Mystery short story collection.

In The Avalon Trilogy by Julie Elizabeth Powell, the reader begins the journey by following kids Davie, Ben, Anne, Chrissie, and Billy through a fantastic journey in a different world called Avalon - one of many different worlds. The time keeper turns up in the life of five kids and then asks the friends to wear magical rings during the night, which would then take them to the magical world of Avalon where their help was needed. After some discussions, the kids decide that they should give it a try and end up in the adventure of their life. Or rather: an epic adventure that consists of many, many little adventures. Each child will have to overcome some challenges, some alone, some with their friends. And for some, they will need supernatural help.
The stories have a sort of Narnia feel to them and the characters are all unique and well written. It would not be too hard to recognize the various characters even if their names were not mentioned. Each child has his or her own strengths and weaknesses and I am sure that all young readers will be able to identify with one of the main characters. Additional characters like the time keeper, mysterious and scary Kimeranet, Daisy, and others turn the book into a well rounded story and it's good that it's over 1000 pages long - because you enjoy travelling with the characters and living through their adventures with them.
As the book is aimed at a younger audience, there are truly no bad surprises but the stories are still exciting. Young readers will not only be entertained but will also be able to take one or the other lesson about life and challenges in life with them once they finish reading. Even as an adult, I enjoyed the book(s) very much and would gladly recommend them to younger readers because books like this will get kids interested in reading - and that is a very good thing!
