Michael The Brave and The Silver Apple
In the distant Andromeda Galaxy lies Leloo 47, a breathtaking planet of wild forests, towering mountains, and kingdoms ruled by mighty kings and queens. For centuries, peace reigned until betrayal shattered the balance and plunged the planet into war.
As kingdoms fall one by one to the ruthless Black King, only the Red Kingdom dares to resist. From the heart of battle rises a warrior king whose courage defies fate and a princess destined to inherit not only a crown but a legacy of hope.
Blending myth and legend with the sweep of epic fantasy, Michael The Brave and The Silver Apple is a timeless tale of love, loyalty, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. A story of kings and queens, heroes and tyrants, where the purest hearts may yet triumph over deceit and where a single choice can alter the fate of worlds.
Susan Ogden Benting grew up picking and chopping cotton, irrigating fields of cotton and alfalfa, riding horses, and working cattle on a farm and ranch in New Mexico, USA.
By the age of 19, she had traveled around the world alone, living with residents of each country she visited, following a year as a Rotary Exchange student in Australia.
Susan received a degree in Athletic Training at NMSU and was a licensed massage therapist and Realtor. She is the mother of two and grandmother of four.
An artist, editor, lyricist, proofreader, poet, songwriter, short story and screenwriter, Susan met Takezo online while playing bridge during the COVID-19 pandemic. They continue to collaborate, although they have yet to meet in person.
Takezo Art's real name is Constantin Mircea Roșu, a Romanian writer, engineer, painter, and musician. He writes under the name of his painting business, Takezo Art. Always moving between logic and wonder, his background is in engineering, but his heart belongs to stories, colors, sounds, and the silence that surrounds them all. Constantin writes when he is inspired, not by routine but by a spark-a memory, a voice, or a fleeting moment. His fiction often explores distant worlds, inner storms, and the invisible threads that bind people to one another.
In collaboration with Susan Ogden Benting from the United States, he has co-authored many books, a body of work born from friendship and a shared passion for imagination and storytelling. He also composes love songs, paints when he cannot write, and plays the guitar when words feel too heavy. For him, art-whether in words, paint, or music-is not an escape from reality, but a way back to the essence of being human.
