It was while working with a very close friend, helping him develop the storyline for a novel he was going to write, that I began to develop a storyline of my own. At that time, I thought the story would be called The Isle of Dylar.  The story centered around two main characters. The good guy’s name was Antis and the bad guy’s name was Karryn.  As the story began to take shape, it soon became clear that what I had before me was little more than a maze of confusion.  I came to realize that the story could not be told with any hope of clarity between the covers of a single book.  So I decided to tell the story of Karryn in one book and the story of Antis in another.  It was back to the development stage all over again.  Soon what emerged was The Mage of Dylar, which told the story of Antis while developing the background and setting the stage for its prequel (which turned out to be the first in the series) called The Tale of Karryn.  Thus, the two book fantasy series called The Dylarian Chronicles was born.  I also have 6 short stories published by Amazon.com in thier "shorts" program.  They will be available in less than a week.
