UnFamiliar Pathways (Familiar Magic Book 4),
p.31
Dealing with illness and the issues of our world today, this book took me far longer than any of us expected, but I hope that all of you will feel that it is worth the wait. I promise the wait for the next one will not be as long.
Author Introduction – Taki Drake
The mixture of technology and magic is where my mind and heart live. In today’s world, it mixes engineering and creativity. In the worlds of my mind, technology and magic live intertwined. I hope that you will find my stories interesting enough to be frequent visitors to where my heart beats.
I am continuing to write my stories of intertwined technology and magic. The challenges of that are fertile grounds for many story lines and series. Several of those planned for the next few months have been listed below. I am happily writing each of them, discovering new worlds, new situations and new challenges. The wonder for me is the number of readers that are enjoying my visions and tales.
Enjoy the stories in the emerging genre of techmage!
