Jarrod II

About the Book

Making of a Master is a prequel to Jarrod, which was published in 2003. From a dramatic rescue from his flooded village by unknown people in strange flying ships, to life on a golden planet of futuristic technology and miracles, Jarrod (born Makeeshla, to the village chief), sought answers to his quest for knowledge about his rescuers, himself and a god who was said to be greater than his familiar SKY god. His journey took him from illiterate hunter/farmer to Master Spiritual Teacher, with power to heal, manipulate matter and even restore life. Life on the planet, Kanon, took Jarrod through eye-opening, mind-expanding experiences, humiliation, romantic love and devastating loss. Also an unexpected encounter with the Almight.

This story ends where the first Jarrod begins.

About the Author

Born in Richmond. Indiana, most of my childhood was spent in Newport News Virignia. I returned to Indiana at age 12. It was then that I discovered a love for writing, starting with short poems and songs. After graduation from high school, early marriage and motherhood did not dim that love , which continued as a pastime. It wasn't until I became a single mother that I began to take my talent more seriously. Poems were published in anthologies, newspapers, newsletters, and on the Internet. sShort stories were added after attending writing classes at IU-PU University, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

JARROD 1, my first novel, was meant to be a short story, but I was encouraged to lengthen it by those who read it. Two years later, I had finished the novel.

The idea came, years later, to write another JARROD book. This one is a prequel, telling of Jarrod's beginning, and how he evolved into the powerful master he finally became.

In the summer of 2003, JARROD1 was finally published.

Retirement has helped make it possible to pursue my craft more fully. There are many stories waiting to be told.
