It started when it was foretold that eight children would become the protectors of the planet Chrystalina and the guardians of the special powers of the Amulet. What was not revealed was that the Amulet was not whole and that fact alone would have a great affect on the future. As it had also been foretold the planet Jerico came to invade and conquer Chrystalina. With the invasion two other children, who had just become the guardians of the Amulet and its powers, were revealed and those two newcomers were to become the rulers of the powerful Jerico Empire. The guardianship of the Amulet created a bond between the ten guardians and an unspoken alliance between the two planets.
As a result of this alliance the children of Jerico stopped the attack and called a retreat, intending to leave Chrystalina in peace. Peace was not lasting, however. A rebellion against the children of Jerico, now the Emperor and Empress, was declared. The two children called desperately to the children of Chrystalina for help. Together the ten children fought to defeat the rebellion but it was too strong and eventually they concluded that for the moment staying on Jerico would be fatal. But the rebellion no longer wanted to chase the young rulers away, they wanted them out of the way for good.
After a near fatal escape, the arrival of a couple of additions to this small family of guardians and several twists of fate not only turned the tables on the Rebellion but created an even stronger bond among the protectors of the two worlds.

Children Of The Amulet

My name is Laura Regan and I write under the name L. M. Quinpool, author of two series - Children Of the Amulet and Calendrial.

I'm descended from two very artistic families which include writers, actors, musicians and graphic artists. I write under the name Quinpool because my great great uncle John Regan wrote under the name John Quinpool, author of "First Things In Acadia". Re-using the name gave my grandfather and his siblings great joy and I'm proud to carry the name on.

My first series Children Of the Amulet has three books already published in paperback through Ottawa publisher Baico Publishing. I hope to have my fourth book in the series I hope to put into paperback soon but for now it'll only be available with the other three on e-book. There are more already written in the series but they just aren't up to my personal standards and therefore not ready for print or digital books.

The first 2 of my second, more Canadian series, Calendrial, is available through e-book only until such time as it's possible to publish in print. There are currently 10 in the series and I hope to have the remainder finalized soon.

In everyday life I have an hours BA in Linguistics and a General BA in Psychology and currently work for Kumon Learning Centers. I'm also a web designer, music lover, photographer, and graphic designer. I enjoy working with children of all ages, sizes and abilities and helping them reach their fullest potential despite "lables" or "social roadblocks" they may be faced with. I write about children because I believe they are an important of the past present and future. I believe it is imporant to encourage them to shoot for the stars and I hope my books will empower them with the strength to change the world.

I very much hope you like my books and will pass the name Quinpool on to your family, friends and associates.

Thanks to Smashwords and Baico Publishing for making my publishing dreams come true.

Love
