Hello, and welcome to my home on the web. Thanks for dropping by to say howdy, to see what's new, or to figure out who this Elizabeth Kerner person is anyway.

I am the author of the Tales of Kolmar series, which (so far!) consists of Song in the Silence, The Lesser Kindred and Redeeming the Lost.
I am presently in the midst of writing a second trilogy, tentatively entitled The End of Old Songs. Unfortunately, the first book has been delayed. I have a lot of changes to make (resulting in a better book, with any luck!). I don't have a release date at the moment, but it is likely to be summer of 2012 or thereabouts. I'll let you know as soon as I do, and we'll post the due dates of the other books as we learn them. Don't hold your breath, my friends, I have to write them first! And I'd like to thank you all for your patience and your persistence. Wish me a following wind, my friends, to blow away the cobwebs and keep me on the right course.

And there's more good news – this new website, which has been created, developed and managed by my good friend Hans van der Boom (bless you, Hans!) and will be a great deal more visitor-friendly than my last one. I was never in a position to update my old site, but Hans is a very bright man and has educated me sufficiently that I think I'll be up to the challenge of keeping this site rather more current than the last.

On this site you'll find a section with News, a brief biography, a bibliography, answers to frequently asked questions, links to some of my favorite writers and artists, and a guestbook. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to those of you who have been so kind and encouraging about my work. I read every entry (well, except the robot spam!) and every email, and I very much appreciate your taking the time and effort to post or send a cheery message. It means a lot.

Finally, on behalf of Lanen and Co., I'd like to thank you for reading, for coming with me into Kolmar and joining in the adventures there. Reading a book is an active pursuit, as much a creation of the reader as of the writer: I will do my best to provide further examples of my half of the endeavour!

All the best,
Elizabeth Kerner
