Shears Trades Swords

by L.B. Sisk

Stephanie Thierson has always loved being a sheepherder on her family's farm ... and, of course, doing an occasional job for the regional Constables Office. However, because of a recent rumored escapade and growing celebrity status in the area, she's caught the attention of a young noblewoman, Gloria Hepner, who is in desperate need of her help.

Amber Tabiare is a child of destiny ... her life written ... or so it was said. Because of it, she and her partner have made a very good living by selling products ranging from the latest fashions to magical items of various kinds.

By happenstance, Steph, Amber and their friends are pulled into a perilous journey that is linked to the disappearance of Gloria's brother...

After all, an ancient evil has been hiding for centuries. It has watched Humanity spread across the landscape unchecked. And it has had enough.

About the author

"I generally write for myself. It's a bit of therapy for me--allowing me to tackle everyday foils by innocently murdering my friends, family, coworkers, and the person who cuts you off on the freeway. So, my goal isn't to be a famous writer ... Hell, there are millions of aspiring ones on this site submitting every month. However, I'm sharing my works in hopes that someone else will enjoy the read, and, well, maybe, give someone else the inspiration to write his/her own novel or series ... as other indie writers did for me..."

--LB Sisk, Author, cartoonist, philosopher, terrible mind reader, and recovering misanthrope...


L.B. Sisk works as a Director of Marketing for a robotics company, which supplies analytical systems for clients in medical, environmental and government laboratories. Sure, you'd think developing marketing collateral for sophisticated robots would be fun; however, when they're boring and benefit Humanity ... Blah. Blah. Blah. Therefore, by night, he aspires to share his twisted imagination with like-minded folk. He lives in the Portland, Oregon, which, according to some vagabond he met in Barstow, CA, is a beautiful, fantasy land of unlimited strip clubs and craft breweries. What more could you ask for?

I have four books to offer so far:

I. Panteria Chronicles: Fallen (published by PageBacon)

II. Panteria Chronicles: Damned (Sisk Works)

III. Panteria Chronicles: Carnage (Sisk Works).
NOTE: The first three were written some 20 years ago when I was in college, and edited later (as an older, wiser fellow)

IV. Ixion (Sisk Works)

V. Shears Trades Swords (Sisk Works)

Thank you! I appreciate any new reviews!

[L.B. Sisk · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a little different from the normal fantasy genre. If you're a kid of the 80s-90s, you'll understand what I mean after reading it. Initially, it was going to be a more traditional fantasy/supernatural-oriented novel; however, at some point when writing these characters and in this world, you realize that there are some commonalities that can't be ignored.

From there, it was fairly simple to tie things together with one of the most commonly asked questions by futurists, fantasy and science fiction writers: "What constitutes magic?"

I hope you enjoy the read!
