Author Spotlight – William L Stuart

February 14, 2013 by Bill Stuart Leave a Comment

William L Stuart (me)!

I am going to post a second author spotlight this week and shine it on William L Stuart (me)! I haven’t really talked about my books on here in a while. Yes, I have mentioned them by and by in some of my other posts, but it just seemed like time to talk about them. I will start with The Gemstone Chronicles Book One: The Carnelian. So here goes!

The Gemstone Chronicles Book One: The Carnelian by William L Stuart Cover

When Aidan and Maggie find a fairy cross while rock-hunting with their grandfather, it’s just an oddity. But when they discover there is an elf imprisoned in the stone and set him free, they and their grandparents, Nana and Beebop, are attacked by Dark Elves and forced to flee to the magical world of Celahir.

In Celahir, Findecano – the elf the children freed from the fairy cross – leads them on a quest to recover gemstones stolen from the Elven Bow by the Dark Elves. Without the restoration of the gemstones to the Elven Bow, the balance between good and evil in Celahir – and the human world – could tip toward evil.

The second book of the series is The Gemstone Chronicles Book Two: The Amethyst!

The Gemstone Chronicles Book Two: The Amethyst by William L Stuart Cover

In Celahir, the magical land where the Light Elves and the Dark Elves live, the four gemstones of the Elven Bow have been stolen by the Dark Elves. Without those gemstones, the barrier between the human world and Celahir is deteriorating and the balance between good and evil in both worlds is tipping toward evil.

The first of the gemstones, the Carnelian, was recovered by Aidan, Maggie, Nana, and Beebop with help from their Light Elf friends during their first trip to Celahir. Now, the stakes are even higher when the elves return to the human world to ask for help recovering the second gemstone, the Amethyst, and the humans discover that Mike – Aidan and Maggie’s father – has been kidnapped by the evil elf Naesse!

The humans, accompanied by Aidan and Maggie’s mother, Laura, return to Celahir to rescue Mike and recover the Amethyst. All they have to do is defeat the giant that guards the gemstone…
