About the Author
I grew up reading fantasy and science fiction then earned a living telling stories on stage through dance. Over sixty of my original choreographic works, with up to ninety dancers, were brought to life for theatre audiences.
A few years ago I left the world of dance to write. Living on a boat cruising the coast of Alaska, I now write fantasy fiction, photograph nature, and catch dinner.
Come and see my life afloat in pictures on Facebook and my website.
The UnFolding
The UnFolding is told in four novels and eleven companion shorts (ten novelettes and one novella). The companion shorts are independent morsels…they add to the tale.
You can read the series in order or skip over the companion shorts and go back to them when you need a short read…great for a plane or train ride.
Would You Help?
Reviews are the lifeblood of authors, especially for independent ones like me. Please share your opinion of this book by leaving a review.
Never written a review before? Nothing to it. First pick the number of stars you think it deserves; one to three is "critical" and four and five are positive. Then add a few words to tell other readers what you thought about the book. Don't write a synopsis or a "spoiler", just a few words focused on what you like or do not like is fine.

The ConDra’s Fire has had the benefit of astute professionals as well as interested and critical readers. To everyone who has offered their support and their help, I express my deep felt thanks.
To my editor Linda Lane, without whose patience and commitment this book would still be in draft form, I can only affirm my delight at our working relationship and my pleasure at our developing friendship.
You are important to every aspect of The Unfolding Trilogy and to the development of my talent as a writer. Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude.

To Tom Krantz, my partner, I thank you for listening, for hearing, for reading and critiquing, and for scrutinizing every Chapter heading and every formatted page. Your support helps me to stay on track, to keep writing, and to truly love what I do. I cannot imagine doing this without you.
To Leslie Randolph for her willingness to read, reread, critique, and correct. Your insightful observations always take my work to a new level.
To Tracey Marthaller, copy editor, for doing an outstanding job with this, one of the most difficult parts of the editing process. My thanks to you for your patience and excellent eye.
