Interview with the Author
Q - What makes the Golden Threads Trilogy epic series such a bestseller?
A - Duke. Maybe not, but he is a very popular character (just ask him). Most likely you are like me, we want to believe magic might be real. We just have to figure it out and the impossible will be in our reach. That is the central element to this epic fantasy and science fiction series. Magic is real, just not exactly what most people believe it to be. Our universe interacts with one of magic and together they blend to make a world of sword & sorcery. A world with Ticca, Lebuin, and yes Duke. I wrote these wondrous adventure books to explore a possible future for Earth. The world in this complete series is our far future, with several unexpected twists. Some astute readers noticed the science fiction elements early and speculated that the epic fantasy adventure was really a stealthy science fiction adventure. To some extent they were right. However, in these books, both the swords and the sorcery are all too real giving you a fun mashup of the fantasy and science fiction genres. I've made sure there were plenty of elves, dragons, orcs, and ninjas to satisfy most readers' needs. However, my take on them overall should be both surprising and fun for you. I won't spoil the trilogy for you by explaining how. The elements keep adding up to bigger and wider views of the world. The complete series is a reliable page-turner never letting up on the thrilling or wondrous actions of our heroes.
Q - What order should I read the books in?
A - Good question. I do not mean these books to be read out of order. I'd recommend the following sequence:
1. Thread Slivers
2. Thread Strands
3. Thread Skein
Q - Are these books safe for teens and tweens?
A - Absolutely, there is no explicit details or bad words. Adult subjects are there but dealt with in a tween safe way. I made this complete series a fast, fun-ride for adults and teens to live with wizards and warriors!
