The Meri - Softcover
The Mer Cycle begins...
In the twenty-fifth year of the reign of Cyne Colfre, a fifteen year-old girl named Mereddyd-a-Lagan sought to wield powers reserved, until now, for men. Would she attain the station of Osraed ... or die a heretic like the one who went before her? Book One of The Mer Cycle.

From the Author:
THE MERI began life as a dream. Literally. I dreamed several of the key scenes of Mereddyd's quest and made the characters repeat them until I was sure they were locked into my sleeping brain. But as with any quest, the task of writing Meredydd's story required three things to fall into place (why is it always three things?). I had the beginnings of a story with a wizard (of sorts) and a wizard's apprentice (of sorts) but something was missing. The last two pieces were these: 1) the realization that my wizard's apprentice had to be female and 2) a line from a Robert Silverberg Gilgamesh novel.
Don't ask. It's complicated. What started out as a novelette I hoped to sell to Marion Zimmer Bradley, became first an 83,000 word novel, then a trilogy. (There's that three thing again!) I hope you will enjoy reading about Meredydd-a-Lagan and her quest to achieve what no woman has before.
