AWAKENED TO AMNESIA

Blackness faded from me as my mind began to feel,

silence slowly lifted as I found myself lying still.

I opened my eyes to a sky of dancing trees,


hearing the rhythm of my breath as it floated on a breeze.

Easing from initial shock I fell deep into confusion,

bearing witness to a monster was all but an illusion.

The truth exposed by a rapid beating of my heart,

left me fearful, lost, anxious, and alone in the dark.

Then I realized that monsters were not my only fear,

If I did not know me then no one would know I’m here.

My identity like the leaves fluttered away on the wind,

I had no where to start, and no where to begin.

Yet I breathed deep this luxury of life,

and painfully arose ready to take stride.

Seeking out what rightfully should be mine,

drawing closer to my fate and accepting what I find.

And the story goes...


Locked deep within a lost girl’s mind are haunting dreams, and childhood memories that hold the key to her survival. This is the beginning of the battle of her life, the struggle to claim her identity. However, bad choices and trusting in the wrong sort of guidance put her in a position where she is a criminal on the run. Now in this medieval land where magic influences technology and beings of folklore are as real as the demons they fight, an ancient threat endangers the entire land. The struggle of identity not only influences a lost girl but two brothers conflicting with their own character flaws and dislike for each other. Between these three unlikely companions an evil must be stopped before its power gains strength and takes hold of Authora and . . .

 The Lost Daughter of Easa is a young adult fantasy/sci-fi novel that brings back the classic fantasy genre while incorporating forgotten folklore from a primarily Nordic and Celtic history. A Wizard of Earth Sea meets a Wrinkle in Time, this novel appeals to young adults as well as adults.

In 2009, a group of writers got together and decided to work toward promoting their own publications while lending a hand to other writers and artists. From that came Imagicopter. "Imagicopter" is the umbrella name for the tour currently supported by authors whose works have appeared in Kerlak publishing, Meadowhawk Press, Seventh Star Press, Twilight Times Books, Third Axe Media and Sam's Dot Publishing and by Word Catchers of Memphis. With the cooperation of several small press publishers, local authors, artists, and booksellers, the project soon took off. This is a totally voluntary organization. Participation on the site, at the events, and at the conventions we attend is completely voluntary.

J L Mulvihill is one of the representative for the Jackson Tower of Imagicopter. Alexander S. Brown and J L Mulvihill are responsible for planning and coordinating events for local and Midsouth Authors in Jackson, Mississippi and the surrounding area.
