The history of my book, In the Company of Elves. Where do I start. Well, I guess I'll start at the beginning when the story was just written in a spiral notebook. At first it was just notes, later in 2003 I started putting the story together into a word document. I was inspired by fantasy books such as, Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, the Shanara Chronicles and other fantasy books I've read throughout my life.
I do want to mention that Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz also played a part in my inspiration. Originally, when I was working on the story, I was uncertain about the title. I didn't know what to call it. I played with various titles. Agartha, Melissa's Journey, The Elves of Agartha and In the Company of Elves. I chose the the last one on the list.
At first, I decided to make this book as a novelette, however in 2011 I changed my mind and during the time I was re-writing it, I added a few more chapters.
The original copy was 120 pages. Revised version is close to 200 pages.

What I would want to see:
Since, In the Company of Elves is a juvenile/young adult book, I would love to see this in my local bookstores or anywhere Indie books are sold.
