I've been wanting to gift the TEF community with this blog since my joining over a week ago, especially after exploring many post's and discovering among them many writers, as well as seeing the writing events across the site. Writing a story for the Fables event the other day, I used Herne, the God of deer, provoking my need to do so even more. Then another event arose in the mix, The Fawn Storyteller. This also brought many memory's to my mind from one of my favorite authors books from years ago, David Clement-Davies. So with those few thoughts, let me ask, has anybody in this community read "The Firebringer".


Sorry to get off topic, but let me tell you a little first on how I had come about this author. Bear with me. =]

I remember my first time seeing one his books. I can't well remember the age, but I'm sure it had to be before I was in highschool. I was walking through the mall with my mother, and of course, being an avid reader, she stopped at one of the book stores. I always go through the books as well to look for interesting ones. As I searched through the many stories upon the shelves I came across a thick, white, hard cover book. Pulling it out I found only two eyes of a white wolf on the front staring back at me. Being that I loved wolves, and reading, I had to have it! Only at that time it was still a very expensive book, so this was not to happen.

But I never forgot that book, called "The Sight". In my "early years" of highschool I spent much of my time in the library during lunches, actually writing a book about wolves, as in my earlier years of writing I was into animal fantasy. On one occassion I had decided to check into this mysterious book I still longed for from years ago. Surprisingly, my library had it. I went to the isle it was located in and found it sitting neatly on the shelf once again, waiting for me to read it. As I went to grab it another book caught my eye, of the same author, "The Firebringer".
