ABOUT the AUTHOR:
My childhood, spent travelling the world in the wake of my military father, led to a somewhat eclectic and multinational education. This included a teutonic governess without a word of English, two years in a Lycée, a whole year up a mountain in Italy without school, two years at a blissful all girls school in Alexandria, Virginia USA before  finally  taking a strange assortment of GCSE’s with army NCO’s in Malta. Secretarial school in Singapore, taught mainly in Mandarin, which somehow I managed to pass. Then worked for a while as a model, before turning to a more exciting job flying light aircraft. I then married, took up shooting, hunting, sport parachuting and somewhere along the way managed to have four wonderful children before getting divorced. For many years I worked as a sensitive at the college of Psychic Studies in London and as a transpersonal psychology counsellor specialising in the interface between the psychic and the psychotic. I now write stories and work as an audio describer at the Theatre Royal Plymouth. I live on the edge of Dartmoor surrounded by sheep, highland cattle and Bluebell woods.

Beasts of the Frozen Sun (Frozen Sun Saga #1)by Jill Criswell 
 Hardcover, 368 pages  | Published August 6th 2019 by Blackstone
ISBN{ 1982556277 (ISBN13: 9781982556273)

SYNOPSIS:
Every child of Glasnith learns the last words of Aillira, the god-gifted mortal whose doomed love affair sparked a war of gods and men, and Lira of clan Stone knows the story better than most. As a descendant of Aillira and god-gifted in her own right, she has the power to read people's souls, to see someone's true essence with only a touch of her hand.

When a golden-haired warrior washes up on the shores of her homeland--one of the fearful marauders from the land of the Frozen Sun--Lira helps the wounded man instead of turning him in. After reading his soul, she realizes Reyker is different than his brethren who attack the coasts of Glasnith. He confides in her that he's been cursed with what his people call battle-madness, forced to fight for the warlord known as the Dragon, a powerful tyrant determined to reignite the ancient war that Aillira started.

As Lira and Reyker form a bond forbidden by both their clans, the wrath of the Dragon falls upon them and all of Glasnith, and Lira finds herself facing the same tragic fate as her ancestor. The battle for Lira's life, for Reyker's soul, and for their peoples' freedom has only just begun.

While I do not agree with all his views, Dave Edlund is a talented writer, sure to captivate his audience.
