Liliana and the Relics of Power (eBook)

When your daughter only asks for stories for her eighth birthday, you write a story. On her birthday, Geoffrey M. Noblitt presented his daughter, Lily Faye, with the first 23 chapters of Liliana and the Relics of Power. After years of being a devout reader, Geoffrey finally crossed over to being an author. From an early age he loved reading. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Lord of the Rings were early literary influences. Other sources of inspiration have been The Kingkiller Chronicles, the Harry Potter series, the Wheel of Time series, Stephen King's various works, and most all of Brandon Sanderson's works. While studying philosophy and religion at Appalachian State University in North Carolina, Geoffrey learned to write 20 pages in less than a day. After working in construction and banking, Geoffrey took his gift for academic writing to East Carolina University and achieved a Masters in Business Administration from East Carolina University in North Carolina. His daughter gave him the perfect opportunity to take his mind off of his day job at that time as a Planner for Buncombe County and try his hand at fiction writing. Geoffrey started writing for his daughter and hopes the rest of the world would fall in love with his stories too. Geoffrey was born in Boone, NC and spent his formative years in Charlotte, NC before heading off to Appalachian State. He met his wife, Julie, in college. They married shortly after and have two children, Lily Faye and Jack. Currently Geoffrey resides in Asheville, North Carolina, where he continues to write. In his free time, Geoffrey enjoys smoking North Carolina-style pork barbecue, fly fishing, creating folk art from scrap metal he welds and sculpts, and spending time with his family.
