TIME GUARDIANS: Open the door to a new reality where legends become history and destined love defeat

About Me

I write sensual cross-genre fantasy romance... Celtic legend turned inside out and refashioned into time-travel romance. I've been a member of RWA for 4 years. I'm formally educated in geology and anthropology (bioarchaeology). My anthropological interests lay in cultural ecology, evolution, & relativism. Please feel free to visit my time guardians and high priestess Nayli links to get a feel for my story world. Both are located in "my friends" below. As you will discover by sifting through my friends, I am certifiably geek. I have a sad compulsion to possess everything of research value and must at least maintain a myspace link to those subjects I am nuts about.
You Are From Uranus
You shine with brilliant creativity, and you're more than a little eccentric.
You love everything unusual and shocking. You're one far-out chick or dude.
Anything unconventional excites you - and you have genius potential.
Just don't let your rebel side get the best of you, or else you'll alienate everyone.
Your original thinking and funky attitude is all you need to be you. What Planet Are You From?

My Interests


.. - Get Your Own
My interests lay in science (archaeology & paleontology so that's just about all sciences! Chemistry is icky except in the case of ceramics' glazes and clays), New Age ideologies, Freemasonry, Druids, and numerology all of which are transformed into my time travel series, Time Guardians.
www.hostdrjack.com Everyone has to die for something. For humanity, for the Goddess, for a soul mate... He who takes up his sword to die for timeless justice remains eternity's hero. I dub thee a time guardian. ~SkhyeWe are soldiers of Truth. We are students of the past. We are guardians of time. We live, and, from living, we must die. Death is not risk. Death is adventure. Death is part of The Cycle. Woe be to he who fears The Call. ~Time Guardian Creed And, then, there are those shoe-ins for time-guardian service...And, then, there is just sheer inspiration...

I'd like to meet:

I'm currently searching for a literary agent who will champion my tales. Otherwise, chatting with Ghandi would have been wonderful. "Be the change you want to see in the world. ~Ghandi"PLEASE SIGN MY GUESTBOOK:You can never know what I have seen. What I know. I have been to the end of eternity and back. I have embraced the stars. ~High Priestess Nayli

Books:

Jennifer Roberson's THE LADY OF THE GLEN is my favorite romance. I stumbled across Charles Stross and his cyberpunk ATROCITY ARCHIVES last year. It's uncanny how some ideas can be so similar to those we develop for our own story worlds... But I don't write cyperpunk. Paradise Lost, Njal's Saga, Niebelungenlied, Song of Roland, The Faerie Queene, anything by Ben Jonson like Volpone. Check out romance authors Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K. Hamilton, Karen Marie Moning, Deidre Knight, and my buddy M. J. Sager writing for Highland Press. Please note the link in "my friends" to the right.

Heroes:

My favorite hero is in Christine Feehan's MIND GAMES. Otherwise, Mary Douglas, Charles Darwin, Copernicus, and anyone else who isn't afraid to challenge the accepted reality.Background Photo By IrishViews.com
