"JustTales" is a collection of stories in the world of Aallarion. Many travelers in this world refer to their three moons when they, in-fact, are unaware the largest of the three is the planet in which the moon Aallarion orbits. The planet that Aallarion orbits is called Aerith. The two other moons mentioned are sister moons, Juniper and Rylon, which are on a closer orbit to Aerith than Aallarion. There are two suns in Aallarion: The main sun the planets and moons orbit is known as the 'Setting Sun', for it brings night for the majority of the world. The 'Sitting Sun' is a distant binary sister star facing the south pole which gives Aallarion it's dynamic vast southern deserts which stay alight when the 'Setting Sun' dips below the horizon.
Eighty percent of the surface water in Aallarion is in the northern polar caps and glacial regions. Aallarion gets its seasons from the revolution around its parent planet, Aerith. Winter comes to mid and northern areas of the map when the parent planet passes between the moon and the main sun. The planet never fully eclipses the sun. It's outward orbital track and the fact that the parent planet comes close to the sun's peak during this time, offer harsh winters for those above the lower third equatorial line. This is where the light of the "Sitting Sun" stops reaching.
Curses is a five book series following the tale of young Ms. Mary Peeps as she joins a group of unlikely adventurers on quests to rid themselves of their afflicted curses.
It was originally called "The kissing Cottage" in my youth, after having watched that most fairy tales lifted curses by obtaining a kiss. The kissing Cottage was the second book I ever wrote at the age of ten. It wasn't rewritten until 1992-2004. Dates given are dates of completion and not of publication as many works, while being copyrighted, are not published officially.

This nine book series in "Just Tales" follows the life of two female soldiers who grew up together in the same orphanage but chose two different paths. Syreena and Aunuce grew up being taught the ways of the healers under the stewardship of the church. Syreena, following the path of the Paladin, takes on a more diplomatic and political role. A strong healer with a compassionate soul, she gives people more credit than they are worth. Aunuce, denounced as a Paladin, went the way of the warrior. Several years older than Syreena, she becomes one of the kingdom's youngest Generals at the age of thirty-eight. The two cross swords more than once, and political intrigue and subterfuge cloud their path. Will they learn to work together? What dark secrets entangle Aunuce's past, and who will lead the kingdom in the end?

"Just Tales" originally started as a writing study, when the author was a child. She endeavored to write her own variations of known fairy tales. However, they have come a long way from her childhood imagery. Some stories still retain the essence of what inspired them. The story "Juniper Reds", for example, was started as a parody of "Little Red Riding Hood," but does not have the same elements as it did when it was first written. These early stories helped create the world in "Just Tales," as many characters have taken on lives of their own.
The earliest completed story was "Aegis and Drammodar," released as a local publication in 1999 following "Beyond Transcendence." It is one the the few love stories in the collection. Thirty copies were sold. Other stories are available upon request.

"Just Tales Book of Magic" is a guide to the structure of the magic in the world, Aalarion. It started with the author's love for theoretical physics from 1998's "Beyond Transcendence." The author has a background in electrical technology, circuits boards, hydraulic technology, science, and math which has influenced the development of magic in this series. From circuit diagrams to resonance theory you can find many examples of exquisite scientific principles portrayed through this system of magic. The first edition was finished in 2003, as part of "Just Tales compendium."
While the image to the left is Ai generated, the image itself, was hand painted, scanned, and dropped into Adobe Firefly (commercial version) to create depth of color.
The "Book of Lords," is a guide to the civilizations and lives of the many races and tribes in Aalarion. Book one, (originally called Book of Castles) of the original "Just Tales Compendium," has grown into a lengthy volume for readers and collectors to enjoy. This Book is an "on-growing" project and may be available to kindle readers with updates in the future. It is continually added to as new books come out. It currently contains information about civilizations, architecture, legends, lore, and cultures from books written from 1990-2018. It does not currently contain updates from "Treasure Seekers," as the volume of cultural data is substantial. We hope to make this an interactive library accessible on the website in the future.

This tome is a guide to the ecology, the world, and the pseudoscience behind Aalarion in the style of National Geographic Magazine releases. There are works in progress to create a geographic style Youtube series that is six episodes long to cover the fun aspects of this world, animals, and geology. Graphic artists, with a background in digital painting, who are familiar with Unreal Engine, and Maya are wanted.
