Kerry Orchard

I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where I still live with my husband, two children, and the family pets. I began writing to beat the isolation of staying home with small children, and to cope with a chronic illness. Fantasy is my first love because the author controls everything from the laws of the world to the character's behavior. It is escapism at its best for author and reader alike. I love to create the strange and fascinating worlds filled with magic, evil, self-discovery, treachery and love. I enjoy mixing science and fantasy -- reality and the surreal. It is a great joy to me to be able to share my worlds with others. My novel The Thoughtmaster's Conduit was an EPPIE finalist for Best Fantasy.

He must leave the past and face a future corrupted by fear and betrayal, a future which also hints of love, forgiveness and acceptance.
