About this author

A toy castle is what sent Paul Genesse over the edge and into madness. Dragons and castles gave him reason to live from elementary school through college at Northern Arizona University.

The Golden Cord by Paul Genesse
" In the Terry Brooks vein, this is both a relentlessly action packed adventure tale of dwarves and dragons and also a surprisingly tender romance. I look forward to the rest of the series. "
