The Gemstone Chronicles Book Two: The Amethyst

by William L Stuart

Overview

In Celahir, the magical land where the Light Elves and the Dark Elves live, the four gemstones of the Elven Bow have been stolen by the Dark Elves. Without those gemstones, the barrier between the human world and Celahir is deteriorating and the balance between good and evil in both worlds is tipping toward evil.

About the Author

Where do I start to tell you about me? I was born in New Mexico, which is something that surprises many people. Why does it surprise them? Well, I have lived in Georgia for many years, speak with a southern accent, and love my UGA Bulldogs. Most just assume that I was born and raised here. I almost attended that great university, but decided instead to join the US Navy, where I subjected myself to the rigors of Navy Nuclear Power training in Orlando, Florida, and Idaho Falls, Idaho (I know, why did the Navy have a training facility in Idaho, right?). Graduating from Nuke school landed me aboard USS Sandlance (SSN660), a Sturgeon class fast attack submarine. I am proud to say that I am a fully qualified submariner, and traveled above the Arctic Circle to earn my Bluenose certificate.

After 3 and a half years aboard Sandlance, I transferred to recruiting duty in Americus, GA. While in Americus, I completed my undergraduate degree in Human Resources Management. I left the Navy soon after that, and began working in the civilian world. I was an electrician for a carpet manufacturer, worked for the world's largest candy cane manufacturer, and then went to work in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I have since transitioned to the animal health world.

I have been married to the wonderful, adorable, and lovely Lana for over 25 years. It was Lana and her blog (shameless plug time: www.lanascooking.com) that inspired me to publish my books. I am father to my wonderful daughter Laura, and grandfather to Aidan and Maggie. All of them inspired a character in The Gemstone Chronicles.

Along with writing, I also enjoy gem hunting, gold prospecting, playing softball, playing golf (although I don't play particularly well), and dabbling in woodworking. I tend to read a lot, and I have a wide range of interests - including quantum physics, science in general, submarines, and conspiracy theories.
