My novellas will always be offered free so that you, as a new reader, may have the opportunity to become more familiar with The Ialana Series. It is often difficult to decide if a new book, author, or series is worth one’s time and money. I understand that, because I am a reader too, so that is why I offer the novellas free as your starter library. This is why I need to be able to send you information on how to get not only novellas, but more of my full-length books free.

About: The Continent of Ialana
(The Ialana Series)
Ialana is a continent inspired by the legendary Atlantis, located somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean of today. Ialana is a land of my imagination, but in some ways, it may also resemble the lost continent. Many of the legends of Atlantis indicate that the continent was in the shape of a turtle, its capital city ring-shaped, so I made the largest city on Ialana ringed and located it in a Bay.
The Inspiration Behind My Books
I am often asked what inspires me as a fantasy author. I am equally inspired by reading great books, and having more amazing and magical life experiences than I probably deserve.
So what would I consider a great book? Well, there are many, but if I had to judge by the number of times I have read something, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, takes the prize. I am not only a fan of the books though; the movies have kept me spell-bound even after viewing each at least eleventy-one times. Hubby’s reaction, after asking me how many times I’ve watched that movie, is one of pure bafflement. His taste in movies run to slap-stick comedies and Quenton Tarantino. He doesn’t get fantasy. Not at all.
