I was born in 1959, grew up in Massachusetts, attended SMU (U. Mass, Dartmouth), and moved to Wisconsin to work for TSR (the Dungeons & Dragons people) in 1980. I’ve been here ever since, writing stories, drawing, and raising kids with my wife (who I’ve been with since 1980 as well).
I’ve had more than 30 books published (not counting the anthologies, but counting the ghost-written stuff only alluded to on this site). I also run a small publishing house, Walkabout Publishing. Recently, I've started posting new stories for Kindle on Amazon, in addition to my print work.

This is the final book of a trilogy that is part of the YA series in Dragonlance. It helps to read the first two books of this trilogy. In this one, the gang is moving on from Cat's demise. They are determined to carry on with her mission and confront Karise to get back the artifact.
I was a little disappointed with this finale. I was really enjoying this trilogy even though it was intended for the younger reader. I believe part of my problem was the resolution of the cliffhanger from the second book. It was very lackluster. Lackluster is the word I could use to describe this book. The author has introduced several sub plots throughout the trilogy. When it came time for the resolutions for these plots, the outcome did not match the build up and I was wondering why the author chose the lackluster resolutions. Even the main adventure didn't hold my interest even though there was plenty of battle scenes.
The first two books were terrific reads and it did not feel like I was reading adventures geared to capturing the younger audience. The first two books could fit in with the overall scheme of this universe. That changed with this book. I don't mind a good YA book but this one felt like more a middle novel rather than a finale for a trilogy.
