Keepers of the Essence

Book Series

In ages past, surrounded in the darkness of the universe, there was one bound to no time. His creations came to call him Kiem. With his fingers, he etched out each star and, with a wink, blessed them with light. He swept out the confines of his universe, Imaemaroza, with an outstretched arm and molded six worlds with his palm. This was the beginning; time an empty page still to be detailed. Kiem's essence spread throughout the ends of these worlds, and upon each he gave a special power. The element of fire was bequeathed to Fiadora on Zilcemi, Alernoa of Tiweln was bestowed the element of earth, air was given to Eorian on Randor, the element of darkness was received on Ashneer by Bemton, light found its home with Jensin on Humsoma, and water, the sixth and final element, rested upon Faencina's shores in the care of Diahyas. Each element was to be born into the worlds through one being in a time of great trouble. It was to the fellow creatures of this being that the old language of Kiem persevered to become the native tongue. Those bestowed with elemental power were to keep the peace on their chosen worlds until the time came for them to unite and allow the combined elements to restore tranquility to Kiem's Imaemaroza.

KotE Tales
Children's Book Series

KotE Tales is meant to be a companion book series to the main, young adult fantasy novels. Silver ties in with Tiweln's Redeemer, Nature's Lady.

 

The target age range is 1st  - 4th grade, but the images inside are lovely illustrations to be enjoyed by all ages. It is a good read-aloud book for ages 4 - 6. Jinsey Amber Smith is the skilled artist that helped me bring this book about, and my mother, Carol Aman, a retired 3rd grade teacher, ensured that the content matched the target reading age.

At present, these hardback children's books are only available through me. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, please contact me at the email address listed below. Books are $12 each (sales tax included).

Other Writings

A while back, I had a newsletter that would go out periodically. Within that newsletter, I would tell companion stories to this series. You could learn more about side characters, gain an understanding of the overall universe and creatures within it, and maybe even uncover some secrets that have yet to show themselves in published books.
