About the Book

Lowly art student Madeline Drake was dreading the day she'd have to hunt for a job, when an enigmatic man in a black trench coat invaded her dreams and introduced her to a world of Sorcerers. What if it wasn't just a dream? What if the black Wizard was more than just the illusory conjuration of an overactive imagination? What if the spell he taught her actually works? Suddenly, all her apprehensions of making it in the art world faded into inconsequentiality. The Earth was no more than the broom closet at the Louvre. Her attentions shifted to finding her place among the wielders of the arcane arts and solving a beguiling riddle fraught with secrets no one should know.
About the Author: I have been a fantasy fan since I was born. I've been writing fantasy since fourth grade and started with authors like Brian Jacques and Stephen R. Donaldson. In high school I found a more unusual muse: role playing games. Crack open the handbook to Dungeons and Dragons and they have whole chapters on how to build your own world and create conflict with interesting antagonists. Then in college fortune struck another unorthodox blow. I was afflicted with a particularly debilitating case of respiratory flu and was unable to speak for ten days straight. I couldn't go to class, couldn't see my friends, and was largely confined to quarters, quarantined for the good of others. Under these oppressive conditions I received the inspiration to write a novel. I had the characters floating around in my head, many with corresponding character sheets. So I drew up an outline of the first four chapters and set to work, uncertain if I would even have the will to finish, or if the phase would pass with the disease. Low and behold, this was the start of Apprentice of the Rain. I finished the first draft in 2000, figuring at best I'd print out ten copies to give to my friends. Fortunately I got enough positive feedback from professors and other writers to convince me that this indeed was worthy of publishing. Eventually I restarted the whole project, from scratch, this time with much higher goals in mind.
