about this book: This book, THE FURLITES OF ARORIEL: CURSE OF KORIS is a stand-alone complimentary novel to my THE FURLITES OF ARORIEL series. The story follows a young child into adulthood, in a rags to riches tale Furlitian style, showing his battles in dealing with the ramifications of the actions of his long dead ancestor, and his own consequences of conduct.

I finished the book in about two years, but only because it is part of a larger world..

The title just came to me easily, since it is about the main character and his feelings about the curse his ancestor levied upon him from the grave.

This story does have sexual content so I would not advise this for very young readers under sixteen or so years of age.

I chose this cover since it shows the main character in one of the scenes in the book. I created the cover with freehand watercolor drawing, and a computer enhanced backdrop. This book came to me easily, as if the character drew his tale out of my head into the computer. I learned from writing this book and several others, that it is almost impossible to get a traditional publisher to even notice a new author. I am not truly new, since I have written stories since grade school, but if publishers do not know you or your agent well, all you see are rejection slips, enough to wall paper two rooms.

Thus I turned Independent and have not regretted it at all. I write because the muse drives me, and has since early childhood, and though I write to please myself more than any market, I do hope readers will enjoy the strange and wondrous worlds I created as much as I have writing them.
