About the Book
Wizard’s Bane is the first book of The Sojourn Chronicles, six
books that recount the adventures of Dale, a member of a large space fleet, who is marooned on a world similar to 18th-century Earth. He discovers very quickly that being stranded is the least of his problems; the world he is on is about to be destroyed and he's the only one that can save it. Without any clear direction, or the tools to do so, he sets out to try, encountering magic, mayhem and chaos at every turn.
Wizard's Bane has received rave reviews and even been compared to the Shadow Trilogy by George Lucas.
About the Author
I am both an author and a
graphic artist, though my three cats would tell you a different story.
I started writing in my
Junior year of high school. At the time, I'd read everything the school library
had that interested me, so it just seemed natural to write what I wanted to
read, since no one else was. A small group of us would get together and talk
stories, developing characters, plot lines and just in general having fun. My
universe, and ultimately the books I have in print, developed out of that.
Being a writer is a lot
like living on a wild roller coaster. Sometimes all you can do is hang on for
the ride while the story pours out of your fingers, and sometimes you have to
fight tooth and nail for every letter! It's a lot of fun, and I wouldn't trade
it for anything in the world.
When I'm not writing, I'm
creating art in other ways. I do a lot of computer graphics, including the
covers of my own books, the covers of other people's books, posters,
illustrations, email signatures and various other pieces. A lot of my art is
created for private individuals, and I don't have it on display any where, but
I do have a nice gallery online. If you'd like to take a look, you can visit me

What little time is left
between writing and creating art I use fixing computers for people or pursuing
chocolate ;) Seriously, you can't give a free-range chocolate bar a chance to
escape!
