Canadian Author Makes Immense Debut With Exceptional Fantasy Novel

Not since The Lord of The Rings has a fantasy novel provided such entertainment, fantasy and intrigue as The Tinkerers, Journey of an Alchemist. You will find this debut novel of new fantasy author, Linda Oness, one of the most original and refreshing fantasy novels in quite some time. Both the young and old alike will be caught up in this unique tale.

(PRWEB) November 7, 2004 -- The story details the adventures of Paracelsus and his traveling companions, Spifficus the Troll and Saturn the Gnome. Under the directions of King Rupert, Paracelsus creates a philosophers stone to discover where the Magnus Opus, an ancient book of immense power, is located.

Their journey through the forbidden lands to retrieve the Magnus Opus is filled with action, fantasy, and escapades that take this genre to new heights. It comes to a climatic confrontation with the Black Dragon in the Sarva Darsana Samgraha Mountains. The Black Dragon remains the final, of many; near impossible obstacles this trio must overcome to possess the Magnus Opus. If they succeed, and destroy the book, the kingdom is saved. But, if they fail...

Linda Oness is a Canadian native of Nova Scotia, but now resides in Oakville, Ontario. She drew upon her experience being raised in a military family to commence a passion of fantasy and horror writing. Confident that she was ready to embark on a fulltime freelance writing career, Linda Oness, a single mother of two children, turned her back on a distinguished career as a computer technician to pursue her dream. Fantasy readers everywhere will be content that she did once they read the distinctive and invigorating style of fantasy that only Linda Oness can truly capture for her readers.

This was the first time in many years that I took the time to read a book written primarily for youth. The book, THE TINKERERS, is a debut novel by Ms. Linda Oness. I must say I was very impressed by the author's choice of words and dedication to description of the many places the characters visited. To me, it seemed to combine the sheer impossibility of THE LORD OF THE RINGS and the gentle familiarity of kinship, as seen in WIZARD OF OZ. -Round Table Reviews.

Ms. Oness has written a whimsical adventure novel filled with woodland creatures, fairies, magic, and has created a world reminiscent of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS or WATERSHIP DOWN. I'm looking forward to more adventures with Paracelsus, and I'm sure a lot of you will be too after finishing this delightful novel. - Barry Hunter; Baryon Magazine.
