Hello, I am Anna del C., the
author of The Silent Warrior Trilogy, |
 |
| |
 |
a tale from medieval times full of
courage, grief, love and war. Thank |
 |
| |
 |
you for visiting my official Web
site. Welcome! |
 |
| |
 |
"How did it all start?" you
ask. |
 |
| |
 |
Well, it began with my son
urging me to read Tolkien's masterpiece, |
 |
| |
 |
The Lord of the Rings. He
was reading it, and would come to me and |
 |
| |
 |
insist, "Mom, just read this part."
Yup, you guessed it, I was hooked. |
 |
| |
 |
When the movies came out, I could not
believe the great job they did. |
 |
| |
 |
It was everything I had imagined...
even the actors who portrayed the |
 |
| |
 |
characters were perfect. But once
they were over, I found myself |
 |
| |
 |
hungry for more... |
 |
| |
 |
Was there any more to the
characters' lives? When they returned |
 |
| |
 |
home, who waited for them? What was
it like to be an elf or a dwarf? |
 |
| |
 |
My mind took me to my favorite
character, Legolas. What would his |
 |
| |
 |
family be like? What kinds of
principles did elfs hold dear? How |
 |
| |
 |
would elfs be better than mankind?
Would Legolas ever find a woman |
 |
| |
 |
to love? What would she be like? |
 |
| |
 |
One day I started to answer this
question, and was fascinated by the |
 |
| |
 |
elfin race that Tolkien had created.
I related to my husband the tale I |
 |
| |
 |
had woven, and he said, "Write it!" I
answered, "I do not know how." |
 |
| |
 |
He left the room, and returned
shortly with a laptop. He showed |
 |
| |
 |
me how to open the word processor,
and said to me, "Start here." |
 |
| |
 |
Thus, I continued to give life to
this awesome people on every page |
 |
| |
 |
of my books. |
 |
| |
 |
And that is how Dellin, inspired
by Legolas, met Adren in The Elf |
 |
| |
 |
and The Princess, book one
of The Silent Warrior Trilogy . |
 |
| |
 |
I hope you like it as much as I
do... |
