About My Novels

     For several years, I have been working on a series of fantasy adventures, the Kingdom of the Sun and Bridge Worlds novels, about two worlds bound by an ancient struggle between good and evil. As currently envisioned, the series will encompass a dozen or so volumes, and may take fifteen or twenty years to write, which has at times somewhat tempered my enthusiasm for the project. So when, in March of 2003, I had an idea for a short story -- something I could hope to finish in a few weeks -- I poured myself into the project. The 'short story' kept growing, until it became a novel (Two Pigs and a Chicken), which was published in April of 2004.
     Response to Two Pigs and a Chicken was so enthusiastic that I've spent most of the succeeding years working on plot development for a series of sequels, the Erindale Tales. The first of these, The Maiden All Forlorn, should be published (despite many delays) in 2008, with succeeding works to follow at one or two year intervals.
     I have not abandoned the fantasy adventure series, and have also half-completed Ialia and the Flyer, the first Kingdom of the Sun story, which should be published in late 2008, or early 2009. More information about these and my other works-in-progress will be posted as they near completion.

     Works In Print: Two Pigs and a Chicken (2004), Well Met (2004, posted online 2008)

     Works Nearing Completion: The Maiden All Forlorn (expected publication date late 2008), Ialia and the Flyer (expected publication date 2009)

Things To Come
Read about Two Pigs and a Chicken
Two Pigs and a Chicken
"And there shall be a great light in the heavens,
A portent of doom which will lay waste the world.
Cities will fall, and mountains will crumble,
And the worlds shall be ripped asunder.

And that which was lost shall be found,
And that which has risen before will rise again,
And that which has fallen before will fall again;
And there shall be an End of Days."
A poetic fragment from The Doorway
(the first Bridge Worlds book)
