Erin the Elf: Preface

[Nurvingiel]

Preface

This is the first part of my story entitled Erin the Elf. It takes place in a fictional world, on an island simply referred to by its inhabitants as The Island.
Like many fantasy authors, I draw on great authors who have written before me, but this story is not a fan fiction. I have read so many wonderful books that I can't name all my influences, but J.R.R. Tolkien and Jack Whyte are certainly among them. I originally wrote this for my friend's birthday, and it took off from there. I couldn’t stop writing, and am now working on the third part!
I have divided it into much smaller chunks for easy readability. I will thank anyone who sticks with it until the end. I think my story is good, and worth reading. That being said, I welcome all comments on any aspect of the story!
