In the Service of Dragons!

The Elves of the Reaches returned from exile, bringing grave news. War came to the Kingdoms. Many perished in the turmoil and unrest. An attempt was made to kidnap a princess and assassinate a king. Now, from the ancient past a dark power returns. "The Fourth Wind blows across the mountain tops," they say. And the Twelve Clans emerge from myth and memory.

The books are starting to capture the hearts and imaginations of people around the world. Just about everyone seems to like the refreshingly unique fantastic adventures and the breathtaking world of Ruin Mist. Click here to read more about the books: The Kingdoms & The Elves Of The Reaches.

 

After the Great War that divided the peoples, the kingdoms of men plunged into a Dark Age that lasted 500 hundred years. To heal the lands and restore the light, the great kings decreed that magic and all that is magical, be it creature, man or device, shall be cleansed to dust.

 

Keeper Martin's Tale

Three heroes set out on an epic journey of discovery only to find that at the end of their journey nothing is what they thought it was and that is undergoing a transformation that will change everything. Survival in a changing world depends on their ability to adapt and if they fail, their world and everything they believe in will perish.

 

Elf Queen's Quest

The first book in the dark path through the history of Ruin Mist. The Ruin Mist Chronicles begin when the Elf Queen sends the warrior elf, Seth, on a journey to the kingdoms. Legend says that the elves and men have been enemies since the dawn of time and there are few who remember the time before the Great War that divided the peoples of Ruin Mist. 

 

 

Keeper Martin's Tale Part II: Kingdom Alliance

Two dozen elves set out from Leklorall, the capital of East Reach. Only two reached the far shores of the great sea. Their names were Seth and Galan and they sided with Great Kingdom during the Battle of Quashan' but success on the battlefield could not undo the past.

 

 

 

 

My books have been featured in a variety of articles, in ads, at book fairs, and in the news. In Publisher’s Weekly you may have seen my books in Children's Flying Starts (Dec. 2002), Bestsellers 2002 (Jan. 2003), Spring Adult Announcements (Jan. 2003) or Fast-Growing Small Publishers (Mar. 2003). In 2002-03, I had books nominated for Best Young Adult Books and prestigious Publishers Association awards.

My books are available at all major bookstores, including Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million. If the store you visit doesn't have a book in stock, you should be able to order it at the information desk. Remember, books by small press authors aren't carried everywhere and not all books are regularly stocked. There are over 2,500,000 books in print, but most stores carry only about 50,000 titles and 99% of these are from large publishers.

Online you can find my books in every major bookstore, including Walmart.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Booksamillion.com and Amazon.com.

Currently translations are in progress or in discussion for the following languages: Chinese, Korean, Russian, Bulgarian, Japanese, Finnish and Danish.

You can also find the books at these major book events:
