John Bierce is a fantasy novelist, history and science buff, SFF fan, and general all-around dork. He is currently traveling the world as a digital nomad, but spends a lot more time observing the urban ecology of drainage ditches in other countries than visiting glamorous tourist destinations. (Did you know that Southeast Asia has freshwater crabs? Who are apparently fantastic parents, unlike basically every other crab species ever? It’s definitely surprising the first time you see a crab wandering around in a ditch hundreds of miles from the ocean.)

Tongue Eater by John Bierce
"Once again, this series has caused great emotional turbulence in the reader's lives.
Book 5 ended with lots of *destruction*
Book 6 picks up the pieces, and molds them together into a brand new piece of art. We see the four main characters at their low" Read more of this review »
Tongue Eater by John Bierce
"This is the strongest book in the series after the first one. The book immediately picks up after the last one which ended in a huge cliffhanger and after the tragedy the main cast suffered at the climax of the last book, we see them properly grieve " Read more of this review »
Tongue Eater by John Bierce
"Note: I read a beta copy of this story, so some details may have changed with the final version.

Tongue Eater was a marked departure from the previous Mage Errant books, for reasons that are difficult to discuss without descending into spoiler territo" Read more of this review »

Quotes by John Bierce  (?)

“No matter how complex or advanced magical warfare grew, rocks moving at high speed would always be relevant.”
John Bierce, The Siege of Skyhold

“Dragons keep their money in banks like everyone else,” Avah said. “Hoards don’t accrue interest.”
John Bierce, Jewel of the Endless Erg

“Most people who knew of Alustin’s vendetta assumed he had some grand master plan, but there was nothing of the sort. Alustin preferred a far more improvisatory approach— it was best, so far as he was concerned, to have tools to react to any sort of situation, rather than relying on a more fleshed-out plan. That isn’t to say he didn’t have plans at all, of course. Plans were fine so long as you remembered that they were just tools, not goals in and of themselves. People tended to get over-attached to plans, to the point where they would fail to achieve their objective rather than abandoning the plan they’d put so much time and effort into.”
John Bierce, The Lost City of Ithos
