The background features a portrait of a late 19th-century woman with dark hair, wearing a pearl necklace and white dress with a pink-ribbon.

In an obvious attempt to get you to read my books, I’ve dropped the prices of the first books in all my series.

These e-books are 99¢ on Amazon, so load up on them while the price is right.

"I saw trees growing and changing like puffs of vapour, now brown, now green; they grew, spread, shivered, and passed away. I saw huge buildings rise up faint and fair, and pass like dreams. The whole surface of the earth seemed changed -- melting and flowing under my eyes."

Latest read (print & audio), In The Land of Time and Other Fantasy Tales (1905-1952) by Lord Dunsany; Known for lush, feverish, otherworldly tales, Dunsany actually has a breath of style. His later work, while more earthly, is charming.
Both are present here.
Essential for fantasy writers.
