Welcome to the World of Immortals:
The Awakening!

Magical modern Scotland of Immortals: The Awakening is a blast! I hope you enjoy it as thoroughly as I enjoyed creating it. Here's a sneak peek...

Kalen...
Kalen, Immortal Warrior, once a champion of mankind, is disgusted with modern humans. Pollution, war, greed...women who wear pants instead of dresses...the entire race is going downhill fast. So it's no wonder he's exiled himself to a medieval castle off the north coast of Scotland. He wants nothing to do with what humans have become. His only goal is to capture the essence of what has long eluded him, what self-absorbed modern humans have rejected: the spark of pure artistic creation.

» Take a tour of the artwork inside Kalen's magical castle.

Christine...
Christine Lachlan, witch and watercolor artist, is struggling to make a living selling her paintings in Rome, Italy. But all around her, the world is going crazy. Priceless works of art, the jewels of ancient Rome and the Renaissance, are being destroyed by terrorists and madmen. The world is in chaos, with Death Magic overpowering goodness, decency, and beauty. Desperate to do what she can to stem the tide, Christine's joined the worldwide Coven of Light, an online network of witches with a bold strategy to defeat the evil. Christine's task? Track down the Immortal Kalen.

A trip to the north coast of Scotland...
Christine's search leads her to Inverness, where she learns Kalen is assisting a harsh and beautiful Sidhe muse and her court of magical outcasts with a seedy sex magic tour. How far has the Immortal Warrior strayed from his duty and honor? Can Christine convince the darkly sensuous demi-god to take up his magical crystal spear and once again charge into battle for mankind? The world's survival depends on her success.

Friends and Villains...

Leanna:  Full blooded Sidhe are creatures of Living Magic, but half breeds are outcasts who often dabble in the Death arts. Leanna, half-human, half-Sidhe, is a leannan-sidhe, or sex muse. Leanna's been around for centuries--she's the reason brilliant artists such as Mozart and Jim Morrison died young. Sex with Leanna brings inspiration at the cost of a human artist's life essence. She lives for the rush of destroying a human lover...but Kalen, with his Immortal soul, can provide Leanna with something a human lover can't. Something she'll do anything to get.

Dougal: A Sidhe halfbreed and Leanna's favorite lackey. His ogre blood gives his skin a green tint, and his neck...well, he doesn't have one. He's brutish, strong, and a football (soccer) fan who cheers for Scotland and anyone playing against England.

Gilraen: A small winged faerie, Gilraen and his wife, like all faeries, used to live in the countryside, until death magic drove them from their home. Country faeries are being slaughtered, their bodies found drained of blood. Are vampires responsible? Or are the atrocities being perpetuated by an even more sinister evil? 

Pearl: Kalen's housekeeper, half Halfling, half Garden Gnome. Her hairy fingers and toes might give you pause, but Pearl keeps Kalen's castle running smoothly...without any modern technology. She gets help from a clan of Brownies...but not the kind who sell Girl Scout cookies!

And last, (but certainly not least)...

Mac:  He never goes anywhere without his ipod and guitar. His accent is sooo hot! Tall, lanky, and blond, with a zit or two on his chin, Mac looks like a cute, grungy Scottish teenager. But appearances, you know, can be very, very deceiving...
