A Little about The Healing Crystal Trilogy
In the early 80's, a vision of a crystal came to me one morning and I knew what it was, and what the story was going to be about. Suddenly, I pictured this young woman with long white hair and I knew where she lived. When I went to the midwest to research the area, I met Kairma's family and friends as well, almost like picking up a book and having the story unfold.
The idea of The Healing Crystal never left me. I kept waiting for Connie Willis to write it. I thought this story was right up her alley, and I really wanted to know what was going to happen to the Crystal. Granted, I never told her this, but I kept checking the bookstores just in case.
The story of The Healing Crystal has never been more relevant and I think I was just waiting for the right time to tell it.
TRILOGY OVERVIEW

How do you pronounce your characters' names?
While both Heir to Power and Fall of Eden are receiving very positive feedback from readers and reviewers, one of the questions that has come back more than once is: How do you pronounce your characters' names?
The easiest way to answer this question is phonetically so here are the phonetic spellings of the main characters:
| Isontra |
eye-saan-tra |
| Jettina |
jet-tee-na |
| Tamron |
tam-ron |
| Kairma |
care-ma |

ken-tur |
| Zedic |
zed-ick |
| Toric |
tore-ick |

I'll be adding to this list, however, if there is a character name not yet here that you would like spelled phonetically, email me at info@michelepoague.com and we'll add it.
