I'm a fantasy and science fiction author who just completed the new edition of book one in my epic sword & planet trilogy, "The Beast at the Gate".

It's 21 chapters long and available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, and Smashwords.com

Please take a look at the sample chapters I posted here. I think you will agree it's one of the most unique and intriguing stories you've come across in a while, if I may say so myself.

I'm currently working on the second novel in the series, so please forgive me for not being able to read many book requests. I'll try to help out if I can, but the majority of my time will be spent in the world of Taren deciding the fates of mad kings, lizard men, and the occasional fire golem. Outside of writing, I enjoy jazz, gardening and art--and when I'm not orchestrating the destinies of my many characters, I live a quiet, mundane life in Virginia. Thanks for looking!
