I love fantasy, but I also love farce. I mean, large cast of characters pursuing a multitude of conflicting agendas, heading in one door while someone else goes out the window, totally insane style farce. So I thought I'd combine the two. My book is called Off to See the Wizard, and it's a bit like what you’d get if P. G. Wodehouse woke up with Denis Leary's vocabulary and decided to write an epic hero's quest.
This is a fast and irreverent novel told by an intercutting set of narrators, and it's for anyone who loves an epic hero quest, but is also annoyed by the conventions of the fantasy genre. Think, World War Z meets The Office, meets Lord of the Rings.
At the end of most heroic quests, after a plucky band of heroes has averted the apocalypse, all is well, and everyone lives happily ever after… (until the next book in the series.) Now, for the first time, readers get an in depth look into what really happens after the quest. This is the collected case file of the Grand Inquisitor’s investigation into the Misery Reach debacle. Read first hand as the participants try to explain their actions and make their case. Did the Demon Lord Krevassius really try to end the world just to impress a girl? Would everyone be better off if the Wizard Galbraith hadn’t invented a quest in order to stave off criticism? And what about an elf queen peeing on a Minotaur? A swordsman’s losing battle with a young raccoon? And the transvestite assassin with a heart of gold?
