This was not what I was expecting for my first interview, but here it is.

During my personal tour of H1-C-FIN101 (a.k.a. PINWHEEL), armed with my cheap portable recorder, I was shoved into a decontamination chamber to avoid being assimilated by a walking, human-sized fungal parasite chasing Finley and I. 

Under the hum of the air exchangers, I try to ask what questions I can think of. I was actually here to talk with Finley about the classifications fo dragons he'd discovered--but sometimes you just get what you get when in the field and doing things live.

At the heart of Master Mahan's power is an ancient artifact of pure evil. 

The Book of Dark Bindings...the collective knowledge of the Unembodied.

A tomb of knowledge that allows its host to wield vast and seemingly unending power.

...but at a terrible price.

What was it like when he who is called evil took hold of this book fro the first time and used his own blood to open its covers??

I always wondered what it would feel like to see the Vallen horde at the ridge of the distant hills, preparing for their descent against the walls of Til-Thorin Keep.

To witness a sea of muscle and sinew crash against the magically enhanced walls until stone and mortar cracked under the sheer weight of fury and near-desperate hunger for human flesh.

Now I know.

I present to you a brilliant piece of original music, entitled 'Attack on Til-Thorin'.

Reaching for her little grandson, Caleb eagerly grasped his Nana’s hand, bathing it in tears.

“Strength, my Caleb. You are the last of this house,” she choked, gripping his hand firmly. “Strength to our family, strength to our people.”

Her head held erect, she looked about in blindness for those she knew would hold compassion and support for her plight.

“Who will help a daughter of Iskäri?” she asked boldly.

Standing, the High Elder removed Caleb, stepping back to make room for the necessary preparations, motioning for Shea to do the same.

Wendell counted as twelve women came forward each offering, “I will help my sister,” as they wept. Sliding their hands under Kyliene’s body, they gingerly lifted her as Moira took the brilliantly white fabric from her arm and gracefully rolled it across the grass. The women gently laid Kyliene down once more, wrapping and tucking the edges to completely cover the body.

Moira placed her hands on Kyliene’s head and wailed, “Never would I have thought this cloth we wove together would have been used for anyone but I!”

Caleb rejoined her as the people gathered around them.

Kneeling in silence, each Iskäri placed their hands upon the shoulders of those in front of them, creating a web of arms and bowed heads, every one reaching into the center towards Caleb and Moira. Each whispered prayers for the last of a family line, offering up all the love and strength of their people.

They wept as one.

This original score was written for my book, Prelude to a Hero, by Ruud Janssen of Myton Music.

Swirling sand, wind, magic, snake, gagging, ISH KROTHI UMBALLA!

This is the interpretation of the opening scenes from PRELUDE TO A HERO, between Shea and his father, The High Elder.

Of all the songs I imagined, it was Ithari I wanted to hear the most.

To feel the power and connection to the greatest magical artifact in my fictional world? All I could say was, "YES, PLEASE!!"

Beautifully envisioned, masterfully crafted, Kayla Jessop brings to life the centerpiece of my fantasy world...

Based on the book Prelude to a Hero I present the song 'Ithari'.

Please leave a comment wherever you find this displayed. 

...I want Kayla to know how much you enjoyed her efforts!!

This has become one of my greatest dreams come true--to have fans of this story create something amazing, just to share with each other.

In April of 2020, I received an original piece of music from Kayla Jessop, a fan of this fictional world.

Her talent is, to say the least, breathtaking--and she used that talent to capture feelings from these books to share with other readers. 

Based on the book Prelude to a Hero I'm delighted to present a new song called 'Remembering Kyliene' 

Kyliene, a lovely young blue-skinned teen of Sanctuary, took an instant shine to our Hero-to-be. This delightful music expresses the quirky yet endearing personality of the character readers around the world instantly fell in love with.

Enjoy.

What's it's like to have a fan write original scores of music because they were inspired by your worldbuilding and storytelling? 

In April of 2020, I got to find out.

I received an email with an attachment that made my heart swell and I shared it with you.

Then it happened again!!

Based on the book Prelude to a Hero this reader created a song called 'The Fruit Harvest' -- where Wendell was welcomed by the blue-skinned youth of Sanctuary during harvest time. At a time when our hero was both scared and unsure of himself, this delightful music depicts the kindness of the youth and the fun of the afternoon, collecting food for the community.

Enjoy.

It's wonderful to write stories that readers enjoy. It's even better when those readers reach out to let you know that what you've written has touched their minds and heart.

...but what's it's like to have a fan write an original score of music because they were inspired, and so they decided to make your world THAT-MUCH-BETTER for everyone else?

I got to find out.

In April of 2020, I received an email with an attachment that made my heart swell. I want to share it with you.

Based on the book Prelude to a Hero this reader created a song called 'Sanctuary' -- imagining what they would feel like walking through the moon-city, where all people live in an isolated harmony, and where the focus is on service, not coin.

Enjoy.
