In ebook

Each e-book in this series is ILLUSTRATED by yours truly.

The Dark Elves series reveals a magical world and these black skinned denizens who live in the Dark Forest covering the Rhaen Mountains. The elves were creaed by their goddess as a magical race of bodyguards and sexual consorts. However, when Rhae left the world, she realized her error in their creation. There were no women. So before she left, she gave them a spell to change human women to enable them to procreate with the elves.

I plan six books in the main arc of this series. Book 6 is contracted and due to release in 2009.

*********************************

I have always loved elves. Love the look of them and love the idea of them. I’m a LOTR fan from way back and I’ve been reading fantasy series books for most of my life. So I guess it’s quite natural that my first ever published work was a fantasy piece about elves.

The Dark Elves series was born out of the first few images seen in my image gallery. I posted the first three images at Renderotica, each with a little snippet of a stream of conscious story about what was happening. I was pleased and stunned when people asked for more.

The elves hold a special place in my heart, for what they’ve meant to me both in fantasy and reality. The series has been a great hit with readers and I thank each and every one who’s read and liked them.

This page has the following sub pages.

Don’t know about print. There’s an issue with including the images, or that’s the last I heard *shrug*
Thank you, though!

Thanks to you both!!

Jet,

Can you get these books to print? I would love to have them with my Leashed series books!

Funny you should mention print. I just saw the print cover yesterday and it’s GORGEOUS! Ms. Anne Cain has graced me yet again I’ll post it as soon as I can.

Hi there! Any idea yet when 5 and 6 are going to be released? All I can find is 2008 (yay!), but nothing more specific. Thanks!
on 04 Mar 2008 at 10:37 pm jetmykles

I’m going to start working on DE5 in another month or so. Maybe summer release if I’m lucky? I’m hoping to get both of them out this year *crosses fingers*

Hello Jet!

Radin is by far my favorite dark elf character! You have done an amazing job with his character throughout the Dark Elves series. He is one secondary character that I always look forward to when reading this series. When you put him in Dark Elves III: Salvation, I was excited. And I still enjoyed the book immensely. However, I was wondering if Radin will get his own story in the future?
on 08 May 2008 at 4:06 am Meriann

Hello jet!

I have read all of the Dark Elf books, and have really enjoyed them. Though I was a little upset when Radin was lost. He is one of my favorite characters. Anyway, I saw that you are currently working on Dark Elves book 5 and I was wondering if there is a time-line when it should be out. I’m really excited and can’t wait to read it.

I am so in love with this series! I adore Salin, I want a guy like him….oh well a girl can dream lol cant wait till 5 comes out

Hi Jet,

I have recently fallen in love with your Dark Elves series. I found them through Loose ID & had them on my wish list there. Kept going back & finally bought. I absolutely cannot wait until V & VI. Any tentative dates for V so I can fill in my wish list on Excel?

I explored your gallery. Amazing! Beautiful! Talented!

Thank you so much,
Susan

I knew those damm black hides were seducing me!! LOL
I just ordered the rest of the series on amazon.
Oh YES!! score!! found out you did a whole book on Meg-Michael-Rudy. YEA!! Happy Kat Dance. Loved the short story in Howl last night. Of course, Leashed was added.
Only wish my pale skin would darken from reading about those wicked Elves. Or looking at them on as my screen saver:) THANKS AGAIN

I just bought this whole series on FictionWise and I loved it so much! I can’t wait for the last book, though I would love for there to be more. You’ve done a wonderful job with these and I’m going to look into other books you’ve written. I just enough about how wonderful I think this series is.
on 01 Jan 2009 at 11:16 am Jet Mykles

Thanks so much!
Book 6 will end the arc that I have planned but I don’t rule out the possibility of returning to the world. I’ve spent a lot of time there now, after all lol

I just got the first 4 books and I love them! You’re very talented! I’m about to start the 2nd book but have a question about the first.

It mentions that Iana had 40+ lovers before she truematched with Nalfien. And that Nalfien was not the sorcerer to lay the spell at her capture since he was preoccupied helping his apprentice Hyle at the time.

How is that possible? Hyle is his son, but I thought Raedjour are only fertile after being truematched? So how could helping his son have delayed the meeting with his truemate?

Are am I misunderstanding something? I tried googling to see if this was addressed but maybe I didn’t use the best keywords.

I know it’s not a biggie, but it’s driving me nuts. XD
on 19 May 2009 at 3:15 pm Jet Mykles

You’ve discovered one of the errors in the series. When it said that he was preoccupied with Hyle, it should have been that he was preoccupied with Radin. Hyle is Nalfien’s oldest son.

I didn’t catch that glitch until long after the book was out. You’re not going crazy

Thanks! I hope you enjoy Salvation and Dissent.

I’m hoping there’s more to the story in this last edition. There is so many pieces to this story. I is a must that you keep this race from upper society. It is a fact there are so many races amongst one another the Dark Elves needs to remain within there own society. However whom ever wished to be apart of that realm could lead to possibilities. However one suggestion I have is other beings such as themselves. This race needs to grow and advance. Is there others like the little red elf. I am truly missing Radin. It was not meant for him to die, if so the direction of the book lead me to believe otherwise before the demise of the vortex. He is such a great character. He ties everything all together. I await to see what happens.

I enjoyed dark Elves series greatly so far. And I especially liked Ale’tone, felt kind of sad for him in the end. Plus, it made a really nice contrast of a nearly sexless elven race in comparison to dark and red elves. Made me wonder what kind of hilarity and confusion would have happened if a light/white? elf female found her way into the raedjour city

Excellent writing and an interesting world setting.

lol I hope your family survived without you.

At the moment, I don’t have any more planned in the Dark Elves world, but that doesn’t mean I might not come up with something in the future.

thanks!
