I'm waiting for my second werewolf book to come back from its first set of edits, but I wanted to make another rune post. In my new werewolf book the rune Kenaz becomes important to Alexis.
Kenaz traditionally means torch. Kenaz’s element is fire. It is the rune of burning light, heat and warmth
physically. Mentally it is the rune of an awakened and enlightened mind. In a reading it
may shed light on an unknown or unacknowledged aspect of the person, as it does
for Alexis. If reversed Kenaz may indicate an impending loss or the arrival of darkness on an important
path. Depending
on what other runes Kenaz falls with the loss may be temporary or more
permanent. I loved this pewter pendant of Kenaz. You can find it at Kaboodle. http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/rune-kenaz-pewter-pendant-on-cordbackground

The rune Mannaz
In my first werewolf book Marked,
the werewolves had marks that appeared on their arms in the midst of their
transformation. The marks revealed an important aspect of the werewolf. In that
book I described the marks but didn’t identify them as runes in the story. I only described the shape of the symbols, though I based all the descriptions on runes seen in
the Futhark. In my second werewolf book I use the runes more. Admittedly, in my own made up way!! Mannaz was one
of marks described in my first book.
Mannaz – man: humankind. Can indicate self, family community,
relationships:
Mannaz represents humanity,
and thus Midgard. More generally speaking it can represent our personal
connections, from our immediate circle of family and friends to the wider
community around us. It also represents our connection with the Gods and with
nature, through the two Norse myths of the creation of humans; the first where
they sprang from Ymir's body, and the second in which they were created from
two logs by a river. Mannaz is home and all those whose lives we touch.

Runes
In doing some research for my second werewolf book I’ve been
reading about runes. In my book Marked the werewolves had symbols on their
wrists when they transformed and I based the shapes on runes. My second book
will have a bit more about runes in it so I decided to share some of that
information here just because it was interesting to me and might be to someone
else. DISCLAIMER!! I do not profess to be any kind of EXPERT in runes or even
have much knowledge about them. Actually I have NO knowledge except what I’m
beginning to learn now. I’m just gathering some general basic information and
that’s what I hope to share.
No one knows EXACTLY how old runes are. Evidence of them can
be seen as far back as 1300BC.
Runes have names which have meaning indicating they had some magical or
religious significance. The word rune itself comes from the Norse word Runa
meaning secret or mystery. Runes represent objects, gods, people animals,
concepts and occurrences. They are frequently felt to have a symbology that is a
powerful form of communication. There is believed to be a link between the
power of the mind as well as other magical properties which are represented by
the symbology contained within each symbolic letter. Rune stones are set of 24 ancient alphabetic symbols
although the number of runes was somewhat fluid over time. The basic 24 are called the FuThark
which comes from the sounds of the six letters. The 24 Runic signs are arranged
into three families of 8 runes each.
Later I’ll share more about meanings of some runes.

What's up now!
I thought I'd give an update on where I'm at right now with books and writing. I'm presently trying hard to get Book 2 of my werewolf series done. I'd originally planned to title it Relentless. But wow, there are an awful lot of books with that title. So I'm trying to come up with something else. I'm open to suggestions if anyone wants to give one. Also I'm busy getting organized to post links to my second book Breathe, the first book in my Atlantis series. Breathe is now live and available at Amazon and B&N and hopefully very soon at Ibooks. I'll also, hopefully, have links to print versions of both books shortly. I'll be having a book extravaganza later this month, more info to come on that...well...LATER!!! There will be prizes!! So that's it for now but much more to come soon!!
