It all started six years ago in 2010, a whim to engage my sons on a camping trip in an ancient redwood forest.
At The Walls of Galbrieth won the 2013 Eric Hoffer YA Book Award and a rollercoaster journey was set into motion.
It ends today with the launch of Calhei No More, available in paperback and e-book.
Thank you for joining me on this epic adventure. Please leave reviews on Amazon and keep in touch – you can leave comments here on the elfwriter blog and on twitter @elfwriter, and I always respond on my email is anelfwriter@gmail.com.
It has been fun and sometimes tortuous – characters have a habit of not doing what they are supposed to. Writing has entered my DNA and there are various projects in the pipeline, so please keep following the blog or sign up for my newsletter (4-5/yr) here.
A big thank you to Tourmaline Books for keeping the faith, to my editor Monica Buntin, cover artist William J. Kenney, and the folks at The Fast Fingers who set the internal book matter. We’ve been together a long time and I have only reached this wonderful stage with your help and partnership.
Thank you to everyone for your readership and fellowship, your feedback and enthusiasm, and your willingness to join the Wycaan Masters to create a better world for themselves and their people. Hoping we can do the same for each other – perhaps there is not such a gap between fantasy and reality – and maybe there never should be.
Alon

Congratulations. I have read the first three books so far and am really looking forward to reading the rest. You have a very good writing style that compells me to keep reading. Like so many other people I think there is a story in me, then I struggle to do anything about it, as there are so many good books out there that I want to read…Simply not enough time for everything at the minute. I have read your back story on how the booke came about and your family vacations where you would read the book. It’s great that your whole family is with you and support you. So once again congratulations on producing an ecellent series of stories.
