title: Sun Under Stone: Earth Mages &ndash; book 2 (Meridian Wanderings) (Volume 9)
author:  Kira Cul'tofay 
description: Sci-Fi Book author, Kira Cul'tofay grew up loving to read but fantasy was never her interest. Cul'tofay's preference was for first-hand accounts of aliens, crypto-zoological creatures, ghosts, hauntings, curses and UFOs. She wanted to know everything she could about scientific discoveries and was fascinated with fables, fairy tales and mythology. The draw here was the correlation between things that were written and spoken of in fables and religion and the fine line between what might be true. "This was where my imagination took flight. I didnt care what other people or writers thought of these topics since I had my own ideas". For almost 15 years the ideas and characters traveled around her head. They commingled with current events and the storylines continued to grow. In the summer of 2005 Cul'tofay began writing Queen of the World. This would be the first of a four-book story arc called, Royal Seasons, that encompassed each branch of royalty as well as a love of the seasons. Her fondness of characters, threads and interconnectedness shaped this new world. She envisioned a series of novels that would be made up of multi-book storylines as well as stand-alone tales. Each story would be tied together by lines that would only be visible to readers of the entire series. Much like life, the novels can continue even if certain figures didnt survive or if a reader had only picked up one book. Expect to see new Meridian Wanderings Sci-Fi book adventures from Cultofay that will keep the Meridian Wanderings world moving forward in new, unexpected tales.

  L'ALLEGRO
   HENCE, loathed Melancholy, ............Of Cerberus and blackest
  Midnight born In Stygian cave forlorn ............'Mongst horrid shapes, and
  shrieks, and sights unholy! Find out some uncouth cell, ............Where
  brooding Darkness spreads his jealous wings, And the night-raven
  sings; ............There, under ebon shades and low-browed rocks, As ragged
  as thy locks, ............In dark Cimmerian desert ever dwell. But come, thou
  Goddess fair and free, In heaven yclept Euphrosyne, And by men heart-
  easing Mirth; Whom lovely Venus, at a birth, With two sister Graces more,
  To ivy-crowned Bacchus bore: Or whether (as some sager sing) The frolic
  wind that breathes the spring, Zephyr, with Aurora pIaying, As he met her
  once a-Maying, There, on beds of violets blue, And fresh-blown roses
  washed in dew, Filled her with thee,. a daughter
