Zinnia Sassafrass was born into a poor shepherd family. Her face badly scarred, the diminutive woman seemed doomed to a hard-scrabble life of abuse and poverty.Until one day she meets Black Ember, a shape-shifting goblin sorceress. She's soon catapulted into a years-long struggle of even greater hardship, leading to an undreamed-of destiny as a powerful mystic warrior even as she strives against the darkness from her own past.LANTERN'S LIGHT: ZINNIA BOOK one is a fantasy adventure packed with heartbreak, action, and magic!All text and artwork are 100% human created. NO AI! I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie, just a few snow drifts away from Buffalo, NY. I am a life long science fiction and fantasy fan, and avidly keep up on developments in the fields of science, technology, and ancient cultures.Currently I am a freelance writer and artist, with fifteen years of experience in the field. In 1998 I had a tabletop RPG published, and in 2005 my first novel CREATURA came out. My shorter works have seen the light of day in publications such as Strange Horizons, Afterburn, Tales of the Talisman, Fables, and others. Currently I do a lot of personal commissions and ghost writing work.
