Kelly Proudfoot

About

Australian born and bred, now living in Nashville Tennessee with her husband Robert and two black cats - Thor and Vali. Kelly's articles have been published in Llewellyn's Almanacs, such as the 2011 Magical Almanac, 2012 Witches' Spell A Day Almanac and the 2013 Herbal Almanac.

Delwyn of the Realms (and the Storming Archives) are semi-autobiographical, as Kelly deals with sleep disorders and has experience with astral projection. 

She drew on her wild fantasies, dreams and hypnagogic hallucinations to weave these stories together into one tale - about a woman who discovers that she may not be as crazy as everyone might have her think.

Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Since I was a child, I've always been fascinated with mirrors. My elders had to cover the mirrors at night, as I was often found in front of them "talking to the other girl". I also dealt with hypnopompic hallucinations and astral projection. Later on, I became enamored with the idea of alternate worlds, portals to other dimensions and mythology. I've used my experiences and research into these realms for the creation of The Storming Archives.
