About Me |
|
| Somewhere between thirty and dust...red hair, blue eyes...six kids, one slightly used husband, and any number of pets from time to time... wanttabe hippy... wanttheirmoney yuppie... pro musician and actress for 20 years...native Oregonian... lover of music, beauty and all things green. Willing slave to the venerable muse who beats me daily until her arm tires! When I am not writing, I help teach remedial reading, writing, and math at a local elementary school. I currently reside in Portland, Oregon with her husband, five cats, and one dog (there shall always be six). STARSIGHT By Minnette Meador ORDER NOW FROM AMAZON, BORDERS or BARNES & NOBLE AND OTHER FINE ON-LINE BOOKSTORES NOW www.stonegarden.net www.minnettemeador.com “[Starsight] is one powerful and imaginative fantasy adventure novel with many nice touches...there is magic galore, and challenge galore; nothing comes easy. It's the first of a series, and it should do well...” Piers Anthony “Minnette Meador has begun reinventing and redefining the field by page 30 of STARSIGHT, and hasn’t stopped by the final sentence. But there’s more than just novel ideas going on, here; Meador also knows the unfakeable secret of keeping even newcomers turning the pages: care about your characters so much it becomes infectious. This is a Typhoid Mary of a book, from a writer to watch." Spider Robinson, co-author with Robert A. Heinlein of VARIABLE STAR Trenara never imagined she would have to guide a child she loved to become a messiah...or what that child could do to her world. Torn between her devotion to this child and the fate of her kind, Trenara struggles against accusations of murder, the onset of war, and the loss of her faith in gods who have turned their backs on her. The only people she can trust are war-ravaged heroes; the boy’s ancient trainer and a sea captain everyone thought was a ghost. Their only weapon, a ten-year-old who wakes one morning to find his childhood gone and his hands filled with a power he couldn't possibly understand— or control. Together they must destroy a psychotic enemy and a religious order that has been running the Imperium for a thousand years; a system they have all taken vows to protect. THE CENTURION AND THE QUEEN By Minnette Meador RELEASE DATE: APRIL 2008 www.resplendencepublishing.com www.minnettemeador.com Marius has been stationed on 60 AD Britannia for sixteen years. Once a celebrated hero and a famous Praetorian Guard, he still clings to the old traditions as a fair but tough leader to his men, despite the shame that drove him from Rome. Delia is sister to an uncaring Corieltauvi tribal king. Powerless, she watches as hundreds of Bretons succumb to their suicidal pride and throw themselves against the unstoppable Roman machine. The last thing Delia expects is to find her body craving the touch of her enemy. The sudden intensity of their desire will change the history of a country. Separated by fate, they are thrown into the clash between 80,000 angry Bretons and a clever Roman general with only 10,000 soldiers. Marius and Delia find themselves on opposing sides, in love, and unable to stop the future. The revolution that sparked their desire...could now destroy them both. |
