Teri Gray grew up in the Jersey 'burbs, twenty miles from Times Square, in a town too small to have a traffic light, wandering the forest, fantasizing about people living in holes in the ground, long after the other kids her age had outgrown that sort of childish nonsense. She came to writing like most everything else in her life. High school newspaper editor-in-chief followed by a degree in Art Ed, followed by a stint as editor of a small publication in Honolulu, in addition to a wide assortment of jobs ranging from restaurant hostess to bartender to field interviewer to postmistress relief to banking to her personal favorite, Communications Director of the Newark Food Co-op. Along the way, wedged between work, raising three children, and the occasional bout of illness, she wrote. Eventually, she found out about the existence of critique groups and started actually learning how to write. She’s not an example of the breakthrough novelist. If anything, she’s an example of the motto, Persistence Pays. The child who was a toddler when she started writing Corwin’s Chronicle is now pushing thirty. She is a facilitator with the Alternatives to Violence Project, (www.avpusa.org) has worked with the AVP program at James T Vaughn Correctional Center, and blogs about Corwin-related matters at www.tfgray.com and about gardening at www. suburbutopia.com.

Synopsis: A medieval tale of fantasy and adventure, the novel explores themes of peacemaking and respect for indigenous peoples and the environment. Murdoch's Tale tells the story of Corwin, who, as a small child witnessed the massacre of his village during the Border Wars between England and Scotland. In the time of Richard Lionheart, during the bloody Border Wars between England and Scotland, Tovan, a Faer (or "Faery," as we Quetans call them) rescues the child Corwin from the massacre of his village. Tormented by recurring nightmares of that day, Corwin struggles to answer Tovan's question, "Why do you Quetan do this?" His quest is perhaps a hopeless one: to end war, so that no child will ever again have to endure such trauma. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1533733003276
