Meet the Author

I am an author of fantasy, in all its many sub-genres. Helping other writers and supporting fabulous authors is one of my passions. When I'm not writing or surfing my social networking sites, I can be found on the slopes, the hiking trails, or on horseback. As a native Oregonian, I enjoy the outdoors almost as much as the worlds I create on the pages. No need to travel to the Great Northwest though, you can find me here, on my blog, and Monday night's on Twitter where I co-moderate the #WritersRoad chat with my good friend TS Tate.

    (I won a copy of this book! Thanks to Giselle at Xpresso reads, and Heather McCorkal!)
    This book is a short story split into two halves. The first half tells the story of Shannon and Kevan, a pair of warrior druids from Ireland. Shannon is heavily pregnant, and Kevan is worried that someone wants to harm the baby, as there is a prophecy surrounding him. Shannon and Kevan pack their car and try to leave before they are found, but are chased and run off the road, and then killed, as Shannon is giving birth to the baby – Aidan.

    The second half of the story is set 16 years later, and gives an insight into Aidan’s life following his parent’s death. Aidan’s life is anything but ideal, as he suffers at the hands of his adoptive father.

    This short story is just a little taste of Aidan’s story, which is continued in ‘The secret of spruce knoll’. The opening story about his parent’s death is intense and moving, and makes you want to know more about Aidan and the prophecy surrounding him.
    I don’t usually like short stories, but I think that this is probably a nice start and worth reading if you are interested in the series.
    7 out of 10.

    I read this short before finishing the Secret of Spruce Knoll, the novel that started the Channeler series. And all I can say is WOW! I am so thrilled about the story. And I can't wait to jump into the series. The characters are intriguing, the plot fast moving. Great start. Can't wait for more.

    24 pages dont waste money

    This is not a story. Merely an introduction. Writing skill is minimal. 99 cents is way more than it is worth.

    I picked up this little beauty for free and I'm SO glad I did!

    I picked up this little beauty for free and I'm SO glad I did!

    Blurb from Goodreads:
    The story of the night Aiden was born has never been told, until now. Fleeing the Hunters, Kevan and Shannon O'Reilly find their way to Spruce Knoll Colorado, assuming they'll be safe in America. Their unborn son is special, even for a druid, or a channeler as the American's like to call their kind. But why the Hunters, people who are sworn to keep their kind safe, are after them is a mystery. All they know is that if they don't outrun them they'll be killed.
    Trouble has followed them to Spruce Knoll and just when it seems it may be too late, they discover the true reason why.

    I just finished To Ride a Puca last week and loved it. So I thought I would throw myself into this novella last night to get a taste of what the other Channeler novels are like and, WOW, I am so glad I did. I loved this short look into the channelers! It totally made me want to pick up the next one in the series. There was just not enough to this novella and it has me biting at the bit to see what happens next!

    The cover to this little beauty is AMAZING! I knew the story of the knot from Puca, so when I picked this up, I completely understood why it would be on the cover. I am still interested to know what exactly the knot signifies.

    The introduction of Adien and his birth was great. Although, I am sure had I not read To Ride A Puca, I would not have understood so well what was happening as far as their powers were concerned. I am in love with the fantasy theme of these books!

    Thanks for peaking my interest even more, Ms. McCorkle! Your writing is awesome and I can't wait to find out more about Aiden!!!
