From the Publisher
One of the most unique novels we have seen in a long time. While keeping in the bounds of your standard sci-fi/fantasy genre, it includes romance, mystery, horror, and more. Also includes an undertone of societal bias toward people who are "different" and how various people view such a person. While not actually "gay" (or a "thekling" in the novel), the hero (Jhanian) has to deal with the attitudes of people who practically shun a boy who is effeminate.
About the Author
Della Ann Boynton was born in Indianapolis,Indiana. Transplanted to Florida at the age of two, she settled, after an extensive nomadic life, in the Gulf Coast city of Ft. Myers, Florida. An artist from the age of three, she seemed destined for a life of oil paints and art galleries, but the Internet intervened. Della was made web master of several participatory, on-line stories in the fantasy, dungeons and dragons genre. Discovering a talent, and a greater interest in the printed word, she switched gears and began writing fantasy stories. Her interest in the 'Goth' lifestyle and the sensual, poetic, and psychological aspects of her characters, is her signature style. She attributes as her muses, lots of coffee, insomnia, an overactive imagination, and a wonderful band of misfits called the 'Toasty Fried Co-op, who have always been her support and inspiration.
