The Stone of Light was an old trilogy that I got pretty far on. It was the last one that I wrote before Sparks Shall Rise because I remember working on it in my junior year of high school. In my Spanish class, we wrote eulogies for ourselves as part of maybe Day of the Dead. I had written that I was the author of that series. And in case you are wondering, I have no idea what the significance of the stone or its use was. The lay thing was just pulled from Tolkien’s Lays of Beleriand. I was going to do a story about the then character of Landaro in that form.

I have made an important decision today. The series will be called The Stone of Light, and it will be a trilogy. The beginning of time up to Landaro’s death will be in the form of a lay. I think it will be beautiful in lay form. I do not have a notes and commentary notebook because that is basically what I do in here and on drafts. I didn’t even know that the prologue on the computer for “The Rebellion” is way behind. I think I’ll start working on it so I think this is a good decision because I had no idea how the beginning to Landaro’s death would work for a book, and I was always doubtful about the Tales of Toranon for the series name.
