Carpinello's Writing Pages presents Day 11 of Loving the Book's Great
Summer Reads with Fantasy writer Karlie Lucas. I've heard she's friends with some mythical creatures!
So Enjoy Day 11!
Karlie Lucas is a school crossing guard by day and a
writer/artist by night.
A
graduate of Southern Utah University, Karlie received a B.A. in Creative
Writing, with a minor in art. She is a member of Sigma Tau Delta, The
International English Honor Society, SCBWI, as well as ANWA, the American Night
Writers Association.
Karlie is interested in all things magical and mysterious,
especially elves and dragons. She is an avid fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K.
Rowling.
When
not writing, Karlie can often be found drawing, baking, watching her favorite
old school shows, or just spending time with her
family.
She
currently resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband and a cat named
Kally.
For
hundreds of years, the gates of Tarragon have been sealed from the outside.
Prophecy speaks of the day the last Key Keeper will return and wake the dragons
from their spell-cast slumber, returning them to their rightful
home.
Seeking to fulfill her father's dying wish, Anwen Porter
travels to the Drakonii Mountains where she meets Tyler, a mysterious local
with a secret. With his help, she learns more about her clouded past and her
own abilities. But when Courtney, a lovesick mage, tries to insert herself into
their plans, things begin to go horribly wrong.
With
death threatening at every turn, Anwen must learn to rely on her newfound
friends to survive.

Ten List:
Top
Ten People I would like to meet.
1.
J.R.R. Tolkien. I mean, who wouldn't want to meet the "father" of
fantasy?
2.
J.K. Rowling. If she can make it with an oddball fantasy series, surely I can
too, and I'd love to pick her brain about that.
3.
Joan of Ark - I think her life story is just
fascinating.
4.
C.S. Lewis - He was an amazing writer. Can't imagine what life would be like
without Narnia.
5.
Robin McKinley - She's always been one of my fave fantasy authors. I have a few
bones to pick though, about hinted stories that never got
written.
6.
Mark Twain - He seems like he'd have been a great guy to
know.
7.
Albert Einstein - Would love to meet the man who contributed so much to how we
see the world.
8.
King Charlemagne - An ancestor on both sides of the family, I understand he was
one of the first people to instigate a public education system for his people.
That, and he had some really cool things happen in his
life.
9.
Harrison Ford - He's one of my fave actors of all time. He's just
awesome.
10.
Danny Kaye - Another childhood favorite actor, I think Danny and I would have
gotten along swimmingly. That, and the fact that he sang like a dream, even
though he couldn't read a note of music.
