Born with a vivid imagination that longed to express itself in more ways than a good conversation would allow, it was only natural that Rex Hazelton found himself writing. And what type of books would he write? Seeing he chose the Hobbit as the vehicle he would use to transport his four young boys to a world where they discovered the endless possibilities found in a good book, it's not surprising that the fantasy genre came to the forefront.

An entertainer at heart, and a storyteller by inclination, Rex Hazelton used the experience of writing Battle of Nyeg Warl to scratch an itch that remained unattended to for far too many years. And once he began scratching, the itching just grew worse, for he has completed Books Two, Three and Four of the Chronicles of the Prophetess and the Hammer Bearer, entitled Tears of Andara, Vald’War’s Anvil, and Crooked Finger and the Warl of the Dead respectively.

Though the impetus for writing the Chronicles of the Prophetess and the Hammer Bearer is essentially the same one that motivates most people to share stories around the proverbial campfire, the womb that gave birth to the tale is found in the author's professional past. Serving as an educator and counselor for all of his life, the hardships Rex has seen people face and then overcome gave him the inspiration needed to create the Warl and the panoply of engaging characters who live there.
