February 6th, 2013…

Some time around half past one this morning I dried my eyes and placed the final full stop at the end of the manuscript.

The characters came to life for me long ago, the old man, the merry immortal, the lovers and the children, the gods and the Fae… they all live for me and I will miss their mind touch.

There were unexpected losses at  the end. I did not know until I wrote them and they carried both pain and love.

Like any birth, there is a separation when a story completes itself. And that separation holds both loss and hope as we wait and watch as we set free that we which we have held and see how it flies.

I hope I have written their story well and done them justice.

But it is complete.

SWORDS of DESTINY

Sue Vincent

“…and the swords must be found and held by their bearers lest the darkness finds a way into the heart of man. Ask the waters to grant guidance and tell the ancient Keeper of Light that it is time to join battle for the next age.”

Rhea Marchant heads north to the wild and beautiful landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales where she is plunged into an adventure that will span the worlds. The earth beneath her feet reveals its hidden life as she and her companions are guided by the ancient Keeper of Light in search of artefacts of arcane power. With the aid of the Old Ones and the merry immortal Heilyn, the company seeks the elemental weapons that will help restore hope to an unbalanced world at the dawn of a new era.

    Congratulations on finishing your manuscript. I admit that for me it’s always bittersweet, so I usually jump right onto a smaller project to distract myself.

      I have several in the wings already… not necessarily smaller.. just different. But this one was sort of special in a personal way and is threaded through with memories and the landscape of home.
