title: The Artifacts of Elios: The Glyph Mage Book I (Volume 1)
author:  R N Skye 
description: R N Skye, Born in 1963, has officially "been there done that". He has worked at many things in his life from Dairy Farming to Sergeant in the US Army Special Forces. He has been a Technical Writer, Network Engineer, Systems Analyst Consultant, and Project Manager - He decided that Author was about the only item not on his resume; His first book, The Artifacts of Elios was his solution. He has studied Business, Electrical Engineering, Computer science, and briefly Pre-Med; mostly chemistry and anatomy. His hobbies are raising bees, tinkering with machines (both electrical and mechanical), and anything scientific. His favorite authors are too many to mention but his favorite genre is an equal split between Space Opera 'Sci-Fi' and any 'Fantasy' involving magic. The idea to begin writing was always lurking in the back of his brain; one day while impatiently waiting for a few of his favorite authors to write a few sequels he decided to write a book of his own where he only had himself to blame if there wasn't a timely sequel. He has traveled all over the world and currently enjoys his life somewhere in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, four sons, a daughter and their border collie Freckles.
