About this author

My first professional sale was in 1978, when I sold a story to Amazons! (editor Jessica Amanda Salmonson, DAW 1979).

All of my stories and novels are set in the world of Daverana. I have been writing in that world since I was 18 and it has grown in the telling.

Most of my books are out in ebook, but I hope to correct that soon.

There are excerpts from my 20 novels up on my website and I would prefer to let the writing speak for itself. There are also complete short stories and articles and a lexicon.

My main blog is located at http://cussedness.wordpress.com

Serpent's Quest (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
1 chapters   —   updated Mar 29, 2010 04:33pm
Description: "New Fantasy Epic Set Admist the Events of Dark Brothers of the Light! Red Wolf was the greatest of the Nine Great Clans of the lycan race, which included: Silverpaw, Macgregor, Culloden, Blaidd Brith, Ci Drawg, Stormhunter, Bladeheart, and Moondog. The clans had long suffered under the yoke of the blood-drinking sa'necari necromancers. Thirty years ago, the realm of the sa'necari, Waejontor, was conquered by the amazon nation, Shaurone. The amazons brought the lycan people three decades of peace and freedom that is now threatening by the rise of a Waejontori Queen. The Redhand family that rules Clan Red Wolf is plunged into danger when a sa'necari bounty hunter and mercenary named Malthus Estrobian arrives in their valley, posing as a human refugee from the battles beyond their borders. Unknown to the lycans, Malthus is actually the genocidal mastermind behind the hidden laboratories where hundreds of lycans have perished in vicious experiments that included vivisections and the testing of various toxins, known to the lycans as the Butchering Serpent. Malthus infilitrates Clan Red Wolf with two goals in mind: find out what happened to his brother, Troyes who disappeared in the valley several years ago; and destroy the Redhand family in order to subjugate Clan Red Wolf for his queen. The only person standing between Malthus and his goal is a young guardsman with a mysterious past: Kynyr Maguire. Trained by the greatest armsmaster the lycan clans have ever known, Kynyr must find a way to defeat the dark arts of the Butchering Serpent or see his people destroyed, including the woman he loves."

A fascinating and thorough look at the evolution of the first modernistic approach to spying and intelligence gathering. Walsingham was brilliant and interesting.

It's told in a manner that is very accessible without talking down to the reader.
