I don't know what your morning is like, but mine could be better. There are shadow demons trying to get a foothold in this world, I'm in a city surrounded by savages, and one of my best friends is missing. On the bright side, it's not the worst day I've ever had. Let me introduce myself. I am the Shaper of Stone and Air. At least, that's what the people of Ironholt started calling me when they learned I could control the wind and create objects out of rocks. Others call me Outlander. They know I'm not from around here. They're right. This isn't my world. The last thing I remember about my earth is leaving work late one night. The next morning I awoke here, in a world of strange magic and deadly creatures. It might have been cool if something wasn't always trying to kill me. I’m really Devin Symms, college dropout, part-time bookstore clerk and last of the Shapers. Shapers are sort of like wizards without the spellbooks and long hours of study. They can control a single element just by thinking about it. Except for me, I can control two. I guess that’s what happens when you have dueling spirits fight for possession of your body. Like I said, this isn't the worst day I've had, but it's still early. That could always change.

Keith Keffer is an author, software developer, martial artist and an avid gamer. His earliest writing revolved around writing adventure games, and three decades later that effort led to the completion of his first novel.
Keith loves books, lots of books in lots of different genres. He tends to be an action/adventure type junkie. If it has monsters, swords, magic, explosions, spaceships, ghosts or cowboys he is probably going to enjoy it. He is also a sucker for crude, twisted humor. Keith claims that it’s not his fault. His dad led him to the dark side many years ago. He tries to keep it reigned in, but it’s like the Hulk. Once it is out, it is hard to get it back under control.
