Cas lives in the lovely county of Hampshire, southern UK, where she was born. On leaving school she trained for two years before qualifying as horse-riding instructor. During this time she also learned to carriage-drive. She spent thirteen years in the British Civil Service before moving to Rome, Italy, where she and her husband, Dave, lived for three years. They enjoy returning whenever they can. Cas supports many animal charities and owns two rescue dogs. She has a large collection of cacti and loves gardening. She is also a folk singer/songwriter and is currently writing and recording nine folk-style songs to accompany each of her fantasy books. You can listen to and download all the songs from her website: www.caspeace.com

Taran Elijah's quest for knowledge
uncovers a plot that threatens the world...
In Albia, the fourth realm, the precious Artesan gift is dying. Although born
to the craft, Taran is struggling to achieve his potential. Against his
friends' advice, he embarks on a foolhardy plan to acquire the teaching he
craves. Alone, he crosses into Andaryon, the fifth realm, but instead of finding
a mentor, he stumbles upon a treacherous plot.
In the wake of Taran's actions, Albia suffers a series of vicious raids. Major
Sullyan of the High King's forces is sent to oppose them. But a dark and
treacherous force is moving through the realms and both Taran and Sullyan will
feel its power.
Top Ten List:
1) Anthing to do with animals, especially dogs and horses. My
favorite horse breed is the Friesian, which is why I put one in my novels. I
also own two rescue dogs and support many animal charities.
2) Singing, especially folk-style songs. I also sing in my
local church choir.
3) Chocolate!!
4) Dragons and (I have to admit!) unicorns. I have collected
figurines and statues of dragons and unicorns since I was small and have a vast
collection, some of which live outdoors. But I don’t like “twee”, only ones
that look like they could be real.
5) Reading, especially fantasy and sci-fi.
6) Country walks.
7)All wildlife, especially butterflies. I used to breed and
release UK varieties, and belong to the Butterfly Conservation Society.
8) Did I mention chocolate?
9) Spending time with family members.
10) Playing my bodhran (Irish drum). I can’t read music so
decided to take up drumming instead! It’s fun and very theraputic.
