Writing a novel is almost like working a puzzle, and poetry is no different. Selecting the pieces that fit and arranging them in the correct order so as to make the picture come to life can be a challanging and most enjoyable task. Welcome to Pragamore Chronicles - a site that can take you to places others cannot reach. Although it is dedicated to promote the epic fantasy novels of M. R. Williamson, it also contains selections of several types of his poetry. Shades of the Sycamore for example gives you a peek at life on the outskirts of Memphis, Tennessee in the fifties and sixties. Faded Memories takes you to the seventies through the nineties in the mid-south. Silent Witness, however, gives the reader a look at life from a Christian's point of view. Fantasy is just that. It alludes to the mystical world of English Folklore, as well as stories and experiences shared by the author.
Fantasy brings us face to face with the first novel of the Pragamore Chronicles - Pragamore - A New Beginning. It tells of a young boy already facing the crossroads of his life. Richard Alvis knows all too well he isn't 'normal'. Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, he comes face to face with why he is different and what he was born to do: follow in the footsteps of his late grandfather, a very powerful wizard. With help and encouragement from his grandmother and a gnome named Yenwolk, Richard begins a treacherous journey to find answers for himself and his life. Guided by a mysterious old man who visits him through dreams and visions, he learns that dragons aren't the evil beasts the villages of man would have you believe, and faeries come in all sizes, shapes, and personalities. He also becomes aware that his grandfather's memory still burns bright in the minds of the Promise Keepers - those who hold his grandfather's legacy. This quest to the Hollow Mountains brings friends and mortal enemies into Richard's world. It also brings him close to a young woman who will change his life forever. He learns the value of friendship, the price of duty, and the worth of honor...
