This is book 7 of The Merged Worlds - Magic story arc. For five years the small coven has had relative peace. Carol Grayson's studies have allowed her to control her magic as a wolf-witch. Amelia Rutledge finally bows to destiny, taking up the key of time. Pepper Paull-Charteris has grown as wife to Mike and mother to the little witch, Celeste. Pepper has never been more happy or more challenged. With the worlds on the brink of war, the coven can't rest. Carol must prepare the weres of every breed for war. Amelia comes to own the key, but learns that's only the first step. She needs every moment to work in and out of time, organizing the fight. Pepper has the most difficult task, taking up the books she'd avoided. For the first time in her long and violent life, Pepper knows fear… it isn't from Dragon's, Vampires or the coming War. This fear strikes closer to her heart… Born and raised in and around Baltimore, Maryland.(I started the year the Orioles moved there) I started reading at an average age, then I found fiction - Ghost stories - and my imagination kicked into gear. Between reading science fiction, fantasy, comic books, detective stories, westerns and other tall tales I didn't have much time for writing. But in those spare moments when the dreamer held rein... I considered what might go on paper.During a busy life I met all kinds of interesting people and have seen some interesting situations, both fun and tragic. What that richness has given me, (besides two wonderful daughters) is a wealth of information to create characters who enjoy telling the stories they're in.I've created worlds, universes and tales in stacks of notebooks (yes, I write with a pen) that I enjoy and I hope others will as well. It takes time and effort to write but I find it takes nearly as much to get my stories to the epub stage.This isn't much of a profile or bio, I suppose, but I hope you find more enjoyment in my stories. It's always more fun to read the story than look to see who's behind the curtain making it up... The realms of Heaven, Hell, Earth and the Hidden have been merging, converging through the physical plane. Witches, Wizards, Werewolves, Vampires and all the other magicals live beside ordinary humans in this world. Magic protects, orders, and guides the lives of all inhabitants. The weak need protecting and tyrants need to be put down. Pepper Paull had always considered herself an academic, a witch who likes books and learning of magic. Stacey Bowen had been a party girl and waitress, now she was a vampire. These two alternate the lead in this series of books. At times they work together... they must... as war is coming...
