Alright. This is my official first shot at Blogging. (Thanks Megs!) I thought this would be a fun way to introduce friends to the world of Lor Mandela. Thus far, the fun has felt a little more like aggravation at my own computing ineptitude.
For those of you who don't know, Lor Mandela is the title of my new urban fantasy novel. It is the story of Maggie Baker, a teenager from the small town of Glenhill, Iowa who wishes for more excitement than her insignificant Midwestern existence can offer. Little does she know that excitement is about to find her in a big way.
On the distant world of Lor Mandela, a selfish heiress has attempted to steal powers that she can't control, and has corrupted the planet's soul, thereby sentencing Lor Mandela and its inhabitants to a torturous death. Only one can save it--a small child named Audril Borloc. But when, shortly after her fourth birthday, Audril and her father disappear without a trace, all hope seems lost for this dying world.
A group of Lor Mandelan spies travel to Earth, hoping to find the missing child with cobalt eyes and black hair--traits that, on Lor Mandela, are exclusive to the ruling Borloc family-- but instead, they find Maggie. While she is obviously older than Audril, she has the Borloc family traits, evidence enough for the desperate spies.
Suddenly, Maggie finds herself bouncing back and forth between Glenhill and the strange and diverse lands of Lor Mandela, where she must determine who she can trust, and who she should fear. Is the head-strong servant from Mandela Palace really trying to help? Is the leader of the lawless clan of Shadow Dwellers plotting to fight for Mandela City or planning to offer Maggie up to the highest bidder? Is the ruler of a magical race known as the Trystas a friend or a formidable and terrifying foe?

Book #1 Lor Mandela - Destruction from Twins
Through the selfish acts of twin enchantress, the world of Lor Mandela is sentenced to its untimely death. Only one can save it--the appointed Child of Balance, Audril Borloc. All hope seems lost, however, when shortly after her fourth birthday, Audril disappears without a trace. Audril Borloc must be found! When a group of Lor Mandelan spies travel to Earth in search of the little girl with black hair and bright blue eyes--traits that on Lor Mandela are exclusive to the ruling Borloc family--they instead find sixteen-year-old Maggie Baker. While the age difference between the girls is obvious, Maggie has the Borloc traits--evidence enough for the desperate spies. Suddenly, Maggie's mundane existence is transformed into a thrill ride of twists and turns as she begins bouncing back and forth between her hometown of Glenhill, Iowa, and the strange and diverse lands of Lor Mandela. Amid battling a ferocious two-headed beast, being abducted by a lawless clan of Shadow Dwellers, and falling head-over-heels for the son of an evil warlord, Maggie soon discovers that her blase reality could be the REAL fantasy, and that the fate of Lor Mandela may depend entirely on her.

Book # 2, "Lor Mandela - Four Hundred Days", Now AVAILABLE!
When Audril, the heiress to the Lor Mandelan throne, sneaks away to Earth to save one of her dearest friends, she finds that a power hungry tyrant from her own world has begun systematically obliterating towns and cities to get her to turn herself over to him. On Earth, she meets a wildly eccentric old lady named Teedee Venilworth whose imaginary butler/fiancé supposedly holds the key to her success. But how can someone help if he doesn't exist? Could it be that creatures who dwell in shadow are not exclusive to Lor Mandela? Book number two in the Lor Mandela Series, Lor Mandela – Four Hundred Days, is an action-packed whirlwind of intrigue and fantasy. Join the extraordinary characters from the first book, (both the good and the evil), as they traverse the haunted corridors of Alcatraz Penitentiary, travel via portal to an ancient castle on the cliff shores of Ireland, and meet a foreboding race of mystic warriors known as the Solom. Soar on the back of a large horse-like creature to the Northern High Forests and discover that on the picturesque world of Lor Mandela, your friends can become foes, your enemies your allies, and just because someone dies, it doesn’t always mean that they’re dead.
"'Cause pageview stats are important," she whispered seductively.
