Guest Blog and Giveaway with Anne Raeha


The Gem Trilogy was the first trilogy and the first work I have ever published. I was inspired to write it because of my love of fantasy. Since I was a little girl I made up fantasy friends. I even imagined when I was really little that my dog was a dragon. I had him pull me around in a wagon. I used to fight my brother and sisters with swords and lightning bolts. With a family as large as mine, one brother and five sisters, we had great fights in the back yard.

As I grew older and entered high school, I loved my literary class and history. Learning about castles and old worlds just let my imagination grow even farther. My writing teacher encouraged me to start writing short stories and journals. After seeing the piles of notebooks start to grow, my family and friends encouraged me to start writing bigger stories. So that is why I started The Healer and Her Dragon. The story started out as a single book only it wanted to grow and become three. After I introduced Meghan and Nikki into the story, I decided they needed their own stories as well.

Still to come this year I will be writing two more young adult fantasy books and a story about a search and rescue canine, Hero, A Beloved Friend.

The Gem Trilogy is about three lost souls who were cast into a amethyst globe by an evil sorcerer, named Damien. It's up to three sixteen year old girls, Leah, Meghan and Nikki to find a ruby, amber and a sapphire gem to free the three souls.

The first book, The Healer and Her Dragon, is Leah and Drakkon's story. They must search and find the ruby gem. Leah is a healer and a fire druid. She has a great source of magic she uses to try and conquer evil and find the gem.

Book Two, The Scholar and Her Gryphon is Meghan and Tony's story. They must go out and find the amber gem. Meghan who is an earth druid. She searches the magic kingdom and uses her knowledge and power to try and find her gem.

Book Three is The Warrior and Her Winged Horse. This book is Nikki and Elad's story.

Nikki is a powerful warrior and her destiny lies in the castle and the king. She must find the sapphire gem. She uses her warrior skills and her magic as an air druid to put together an army of different species to fight and conquer the evil sorcerer, Damien as she tries to find her gem. To find out if the three lost souls are freed and do they conquer evil. Go to Lulu.com and purchase this great exciting new trilogy.

Book one was released January 2010 and book two was just published March 25, 2010. The third book will be released this summer.

I'm not the only one who never grew out of the make-believe stage. Awesome.

Anne Raeha said...

You all are right I never did grow up. My dad always told me you are as old as you feel. Well I forgot to grow up. When I sit down to write I still feel like a kid at heart. It helps make my writing really special :)
