About this author
D.B. Jackson has been writing fantasy and science fiction under a different pen name for over fifteen years. He has published novels, short stories, and media tie-ins in more than a dozen languages.

His first historical fantasy, Thieftaker, will be published by Tor Books in 2012. His short story, "The Tavern Fire," appears in After Hours: Tales from the Ur-Bar, edited by Joshua Palmatier and Patricia Bray, and published by DAW in March 2011.

| One of those books I should have read years ago and just . . . well, didn't. Finally read it and I have to admit that I loved it. Yes, it's incredibly melodramatic. Yes, Heathcliff is almost too cruel to be believed. Yes, there were times when I want...more | |

| This is a quietly gripping novel. There is very little action in the traditional sense; much of it takes place "off camera." Most of the book is dialogue and internal monologue. But the intrigue is pervasive and it builds steadily throughout. George...more | |
