"Maelstrom" is the name of an idea I had a few years ago for a sword-and-sorcery fantasy story. I never got around to writing it until last summer. I realized that if I hadn't forgotten it for two years and I was now writing it down, I was off to a good start. Now, three years after the first inspiration, I am almost up to a full-length book and I'm barely halfway through the storyline! Hoping to publish.
