About this author

R.T. Kaelin grew up in Cincinnati and now resides in Columbus, Ohio with his beautiful wife and the two best kids ever. For years, he worked in information technology, but felt there was something more waiting for him. He always had an active imagination, so one day he decided to do something with it. R.T. Kaelin's son and daughter are too young to grasp it fully, but they are the reason he writes. His favorite place in the world is any barely-occupied, tucked-away corner of Tuscany.

In that time, it's hit #1 on Amazons Bestselling Epic Fantasy (free), #24 Genre Fiction, and #36 for ALL books.

You have one last day to get it. Tell everyone you know.

Terrene Chronicles: Bundle 1: Merchant, No. 1: Market (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
1 chapters   —   updated Mar 07, 2011 09:19pm
Description: The Terrene Chronicles are a series of short stories inspired by past events only alluded to in R.T. Kaelin’s high fantasy novel, Progeny. Reader response to the novel prompted me to write and publish a set of standalone short stories inspired by historical events referenced in Progeny. Fans of the first volume in the Children of the White Lions have stated their desire to know more about the expansive world of Terrene and its rich history. The Terrene Chronicles will give old and new readers alike a chance to see what shaped the people, countries, and events of the world of Terrene.
Water, Chapter 1 of Progeny (a sample) (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
1 chapters   —   updated Dec 02, 2010 07:00pm
Description: The opening of Progeny, the new novel by R.T. Kaelin. The 655-page novel tells the tale of two young siblings - a brother and sister - whose home is destroyed, friends and neighbors lost, and lives are forever changed after a vicious attack on their village by a stranger. The event spurs the pair into a strange world where they discover their heritage has little to do with being the children of simple farmers. Swept up by myth and magic, they discover their destiny is much more than they could have ever imagined.

Thanks - I was afraid to listen to myself talk. Reminds me how I used to hate to read my writing.
