I’m a retired high school English teacher. A devourer of books growing up, my profession introduced me to writings and authors from times long past. Through my studies and teaching, I fell in love with the Ancient and Medieval Worlds. Now, I hope to inspire young readers and those Young-at-Heart to read more through my Tales and Legends for Reluctant Readers set in these worlds—Ancient Egypt, Medieval Wales, and coming soon, a hair-raising adventure through ancient worlds in search of 5 rare Phoenix Feathers.
All of my books come with Free study guides and/or extensive Back-of-the-Book materials.
My husband and I love to travel. In 2008, we spent three weeks in Egypt traveling by local train from one end of the country to the other; in 2014, we spent three weeks in the UK driving over 1700 miles through England, Wales, and Scotland; and in 2016, we spent a week in Iceland. We’ve also traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, and Aruba. Our next big adventure will be to Greece and Italy.
When I’m not writing or traveling, our 4 grandkids keep us busy.

Guinevere: On the Eve of Legend,
At the Dawn of Legend, and The Legend are a sort of coming of age story (told in three parts) about the soon
to be wife of King Arthur.
In book one, On the Eve of Legend, Guinevere learns her destiny is to become a legendary queen. After her father promises her hand in marriage to King Arthur, however, she decides to run away. With her best friend, Cedwyn's help, and Merlyn's usual meddling, she comes to terms with the arrangement.
Book two, At the Dawn of Legend finds Guinevere running
from renegades who, when they can't get her, steal all the children from
her village. Along with her friend, Cedwyn, they try to rescue the
captured children under some extreme circumstances.
Book three, The Legend, concludes the events of book two, with Guinevere going back to rescue Cedwyn, who sacrificed his freedom so she could escape the renegades. After some full-hardy decisions, she finally accepts help from her betrothed king.
Cheryl Caprinello has created an interesting world from the perspective of a young Guinevere, where her limits are tested. I personally haven't read any other book detailing a potential early period in her life and found this fascinating. I think it appeals to young audiences in that it is someone trying to overcome insurmountable odds, but with still enough of the childhood naivete to make it believable.
All in all, I give all three books four out of five stars.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of these books.
Thank you so much. Glad to see you enjoyed the books.
