This series of stories is my legacy to my wife, children, and grandchildren. I have learned that the material things in life are not the lasting things that you pass to your family. Money is quickly spent, possessions quickly squandered, and all that we really are, our triumphs and tragedies, is quickly forgotten. It is the experiences, the stories, and the journey (especially the ways that you handle the rough bits) that you leave behind which truly last. Thann, Gimble, and Fenris are all the good pieces of me that I hope they will always hold in their hearts. They represent the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual sides of my life.

I have loved living in this world that I created. I’m going to miss it; so much so, that I plan on writing more. A lot of research has gone into each of these books, everything from the names of peoples, places, devices…you name it. I hope you take time to find out where some of these come from. More importantly, I hope you enjoy the adventures of Thann, Gimble, and their friends as they trek through the mountain.

About the Authors:

The Sons of Maeve Trilogy are the first books written by Dave and Rose Cox. Influenced by the fictional works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, they began this odyssey over twenty-seven years ago as college sweethearts, with high hopes of adding their voices to the literary community. Their love for Celtic history and mythology inspired a move to Great Britain in the 1990’s, where they steeped themselves in this rich and ancient culture. The combination of these passions culminated in these unique and original stories. While this series is written for young adult readers, it has been read and enjoyed by all ages. Carefully researched and excellently constructed, the story presents a rich tapestry steeped in tradition and mythology.

The Sons of Maeve: Aarrawn's Labyrinth takes off where the last one ended. After spending some time with book one, we realized through some very appreciated feedback, that it needed to be republished with some minor corrections. At the same time, we felt that this second book (fourth story) needed some added character depth and setting dimensionality. I think we successfully fused these elements with an excellent and compelling story that is even more fast-paced and action packed than the first. While the Labyrinth can be read as a stand alone (especially with the background information available on this website), the Trilogy offers the full experience,

As always, we enjoy hearing from our readers (and we give them credit for their input in our forewords). Please feel free to add your voice to theirs. It is, after all a journey, for all of us. Lastly, as the saga continues, we are always looking for individuals (and schools) willing to read and critique the raw manuscripts. We have had a lot of success pushing the storyline envelop that way. It also gives us the unique ability to interact with our readers as part of the process. If you would like to participate in a future reading, contact us on the feedback page.
