About
I am a retired high school English teacher. A devourer of books growing up, my profession introduced me to writings and authors from times long past. Through my studies and teaching, I fell in love with the Ancient and Medieval Worlds. Now, I hope to inspire young readers and those Young-at-Heart to read more through my Quest Books set in these worlds.
You can find me on Carpinello’s Writing Pages (http://carpinelloswritingpages.blogspot.com) where I interview other children/MG/Tween/YA authors. My home is at Beyond Today Educator (http://www.beyondtodayeducator.com). At The Quest Books (http://www.adventurequestbooks.com), I’ve teamed up with Fiona Ingram from South Africa and Wendy Leighton-Porter of Abu Dhabi to enable readers to find all of our Ancient and Medieval quest books in one place.

Story Behind The Book
I always wanted to live in Medieval England and would love to meet King Arthur. When I started thinking about this story, I wanted it to be different from the stories out there. I didn't want to include time travel or some other magical way to transport readers to medieval Wales. I wanted my readers to wake up in medieval Wales so they would feel like they were actually there. It is my hope that I have done just that!
Reviews

<p>“Pull out those swords and slide into your armor - can one slide into something that bulky? - Doesn't matter because this story will still feed the fantasy of children…”</p>
<p>“A Timeless Story of Courage and Loyalty”</p>
<p>“[T]he feel of ‘The Goonies’ mixed with ‘The Young Riders’ but set in the time of King Arthur instead…Like a non-romancey chapter out of ‘The Princess Bride.’”</p>
<p>“[A] wonderful introduction ~ to King Arthur, and to the lives of knights and others in a castle…”</p>
