about me

Fantasy, where dragons dwell, and the humans who amuse them, have always held me captive. I love to read about them as much as attempting to master those of my own imagination.

King Arthur is my hero. I believe in him.

Although a native of Colorado where I now reside, I have attended both the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Southern California in their Creative Writing Programs.

Award winning writer and published in the 2010 spring issue of "Tales of the Talisman" a magazine of fantasy and science fiction.

FAVORITE QUOTES:

"Things are only impossible until they are not." Capt. Jean Luc Picard

THE LITTLE PRINCE by Antoine St. Exuprey
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry" (I believe this also applies to writers.)

"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very'; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be."
Mark Twain

IDYLLS OF THE KING by Alfred Lord Tennyson:
'I found Him in the shining of the stars,
I marked Him in the flowering of His fields,
But in His ways with men I find Him not.
I waged His wars, and now I pass and die.

" . . . And all whereon I leaned in wife and friend
Is traitor to my peace, and all my realm
Reels back into the beast, and is no more.
My God, thou hast forgotten me in my death;
Nay--God my Christ--I pass but shall not die.'

[Arthur promises to never die. He has lived in our hearts for centuries.]

A King in Time

Mary Enck in collaboration wit....

It's the year 2100. Arthur, Prince of Wales is destined to become King of Great Britain.


Like his predecessor, the Legendary King Arthur, the passion of the young Prince is to unite all of Great Britain in peace. His secret desire is to rebuild ancient Camelot. When he visits the original site, he encounters a prophetic gentleman who seems to know the future, or perhaps he speaks of the past.

Soon after this, as Prince Arthur ponders the true identity of the man, a solar eclipse occurs and propels him into the Fifth Century. It is only when he finally accepts the miraculous event has directed time movement, time begins to slip once more for Prince Arthur. The influences that are directing the phenomenon then become evident. There is more to the event than space-time theories.

When the Prince meets his namesake they form a brotherly bond. Perhaps this meeting has been foretold and hidden in the promise made by King Arthur hundreds of years in the past to return when Britannia needs him once more.

The characters of the old story reside in the past, including Merlyn and the two Dragons of Dinas Emrys.

Hello Naomi, Thank you for the time you spent to write your comments. However, based on what you have to say, it does not seem to me that you have read the entire story.
