The Cauldron of Ceridwen
Persephane Pendrake Chronicles Book 2
Krak Ling’s Ring calls to Persy and she, Thad, Benson and P-C rush into
an unauthorized trip to retrieve it, narrowly missing being killed by
guards, when P-C unleashes a power no one knew he possessed or could use, even him.
As expected, Krak Ling hunts them down to take his ring back, but in the
negotiations, he reveals the next Magic Object which Melanthios is
about to attempt to capture…The Cauldron of Ceridwen. Why this
cauldron? The best person to explain that is Lady Druanna, the
resident authority on all things Celtic Magic.
They make their way to Killarney, an area in Ireland, where Lady Druanna's
manor is located and there she tells them the tale of The Cauldron.
It's not the vessel which is so important to all Magicals but the
first three drops of the Brew it creates. But their visit to Lady
Dru's is violently interrupted, resulting in severe injury to the
Lady and the kidnapping of Thaddeus by the malevolent Melanthios.
Persy is beside herself with grief and worry, both for the survival of Lady
Druanna and the whereabouts and safety of Thad.
And so her journey begins. Of course, things get worse…much worse
before even the haze of a solution appears:
- Persy has lost he comrade in arms and so much face this quest
alone.
- She ultimately finds out that Thad has been tossed into a multiverse.
Where? When? Can she ever get him back?
- There is another Dark organization, supporting Melanthios in her evil quest.
- Someone at school has found out who and what she is and is trying to
expose her. Good-bye privacy and Hello World Lab Rat!
- There is someone who Persy always believed to be a mundane…normal
human who is about to 'come out' as a Magical. Who knew?
- Romance sparks from unexpected corners
Who will possess Magical Object 2 at the end of this tantalizing
escapade? The only way to find out is to read: The Persephane

What
is something unique/quirky about you?
Quirky
should be my middle name. I break every rule in the book when it comes to how I
live life. I home birthed and home schooled my two kids, was an alternative
health practitioner for over three decades, spend 90% of my time alone, working
on my books and fantasy art and love every minute.
Why
do you use the author name ‘Lady Ellen’?
I
was a Chiropractor/homeopath/Functional Medicine practitioner all my
professional life. For whatever reason,
many of my patients were devout Christians and they often are not fond of
witch/wizard, magic stories. So I needed
to separate the two parts of me. My kids
came up with the pen name. My middle name is Ellen.
What
are your pet peeves?
Injustice,
number one. Picking on or bullying those who can’t defend themselves. Animals
and children are the worst victims for me. They are helpless in our society and
need 100% support from all of us in my way of thinking.
What
are you passionate about these days?
Clean
organic food, NO GMO’s. The end to corporate greed in agriculture and our
forests. Should be available to
all. A few generations ago, all food was
raised safely. We need to get back to that.
When
did you first consider yourself a writer?
January
2007, when I wrote the first three chapters of Book One - The Cimaruta. I’d put a pie in the oven and sat down at my
computer and it poured out. I’d been
thinking about the story for a couple of months and the fact there would be
nine books. But that day, I knew it was time to start. So I did. I sent it to
the kids and they came back, “Where’s the rest?” And a writer was born. Oh, and
I burned that poor pie.
Which
of your novels can you imagine being made into a movie?
Book
Three - Lapis Draconis. By the time that book was done, there was substantial
background on Persy and her allies and now they were at the Illuminary
Incantorium, their magical college. This is when the real action and magic starts,
under the guidance of the masters and professors here. Also, Carnifex the
dragon is now part of the story.
Do
you believe in magic?
Absolutely.
It’s simply another energy field and can be manipulated with work and practice.
Weaving and scribing of the eight remaining tomes continues in Lady Ellen's
remote witch's hut…on her tiny piece of Ontario's Cambrian Shield"
…and indeed that's where the series began.
After more than 3 decades as an alternative health care practitioner, I
finally managed to start devoting some serious time to my secret
love--fantasy fiction.
I've always loved fantasy, magic and mythical kingdoms. We
home-schooled our kids and lived on a 100 acre farm..which had about
twenty-five acres in forest.
We'd make up stories and adventures..lots of fairies, witches, wizards, etc.
Now, all these years later, I've started on my nine-book, three trilogy
magical series...The Persephane Pendrake Chronicles and have released
Books 1, 2 and 3... The Cimaruta, The Cauldron of Ceridwen and Lapis Draconis.
