Characters are so and so, especially the main female who felt like a romantic tool for Marc. Well done.īriefly: Plot is good but executed ok-ish a nice tale but heavily christian, sounded like catechism. The characters are carefully developed and the descriptive prose holds the reader’s attention far beyond the last page. Haunted Tree is heart stopping and a resounding page turner, yet there’s a well thought out plot and underlying meaning to the story. Scheller has taken years to hone his craft. While Marc discovers his path in life, he and Valeria realize there’s a different kind of magic growing between them, but first there’s a kingdom to defend and Marc may not survive the battle. The Wizard Oren brings Marc and his friend Valeria into the world of magic teaching them skills and secrets. An evil king plots to take over and Marc will cross the path of the king’s lackeys all too soon. Recovering from the Ice Age, Britannia emerges to reconstruct and survive. He learns that he, too, has powers of his own. Its power both draws him and frightens him.
I am currently editing FEAR, but do not have a projected release date.įor a quick history of the origin of the HAUNTED TREE, read my acknowledgments at the beginning of that book via Amazon's "look inside".Adventure begins to unfold for young Marc when he first finds the haunted tree. I would like to alternately release 1 title in each series, but probably only after AotL 2 and 3 are done (since they are so far along). In Fact, about half of book 2 and 80% of book 3 are already written, with major scenes of books 4 & 5 written or heavily outlined. I have the next three books of the Chronicles series planned, and six books in the AotL planned. I plan on writing 2 parallel-themed book series concurrently: The MAGUS FAMILY CHRONICLES, of which HAUNTED TREE is the first, and AGENTS OF THE LIGHT (modern day Paranormal Urban Fantasy), of which FEAR OF THE DARK is first. That "short story" gained a life of it's own as HAUNTED TREE, a full-length novel. My "class project" was to be a short story I could repeatedly edit-to-death as I learned, and I made it a prequel to FEAR. I joined a working writers group and learned the Craft of Writing. The short answer: Some time back I wrote a book, FEAR OF THE DARK, and an agent liked it but said the craft needed some cleanup.
