About this author

Hello. Thanks for visiting my author page here on Goodreads. In case you don't know me, I'm John Marco and I'm a fantasy writer. I've written seven books so far, including the Tyrants and Kings trilogy and the books of the Bronze Knight Lukien. My next book, The Forever Knight, is due out in November 2012. I also write short stories from time to time, and these you can find at Amazon. Like a lot of fantasy fans, I'm a proud nerd and often blog about nerdy things over at my blog--thehappynerd.com. Or, if it's easier for you to remember, just type in johnmarco.com and that will take you over to my blog as well. Hope to see you there!


I was at work the other day when the song "Stranger on the Shore" popped into my head.

I'm not a huge Heinlein reader, but this book has stuck with me for years. Excellent science fiction.

How bad can it be? I'm actually mentioned in this book! Seriously though, it's pretty good. Some solid advice; I use it more as a form of inspiration than anything else.

add to my books
As a wannabe psychologist/counselor, I've read tons of self help books. Yet to call this "self help" is a huge mistake. This isn't the kind of psychobabble put out by other authors. Dan Gottlieb is a wonderful author with real empathy for the human c...more

First read this when it came out back in 2007. Very enjoyable take on the whole "dragon" thing that fantasy authors love to cover.
