About the authors:
My name is Jan Peyton and I am the author of Seeking Darkness, the book that started the adventures in the Silverthorne Saga. Fantasy it the genre that captures my attention; the less "real world" the story is the better. I have been inspired by writers such as C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Salavtore and Lisa Shearin. I love storylines that invite me to get lost in the grand adventures of well thought out characters. As a writer I am character driven and like to allow my character interactions to be the catalyst that propels my storylines forward. I strive to write strong, compelling female characters and I believe every character should have a purpose, not just be background scenery. My goal is to tell a story that will allow my readers to travel to distant places and experience adventures that keep them wondering what’s next.
I am AJ McFarland and I am the co-author for Seeking Balance. I am a lover of stories, tales and adventures that draw me in and show me places and things I can’t see or feel. For this reason I am strongly enthralled by stories that take place in the Fantasy and Science realms as it takes so much more descriptive details to share the vision. I am passionate about my studies of characters and what makes them unique. I want to know their passions, beliefs, opinions and reasons for being what they are. My goal is to create the most complex and developed villains that I can. I am a firm believer that every hero and heroine must be greater than the villain. So, the greater the villain, the stronger the hero must be. No victory is as satisfying as the conquering of their greatest foe.
