Ever since I was young, I have enjoyed sword-and-sorcery tales of heroism.  I love reading stories in which the noble good must find a way to beat overwhelming odds to stop the forces of evil from taking over and making a huge mess of things.  Dennis L. McKiernan, Robert E. Howard, David Gemmell, Raymond Feist, and Simon R. Green are some of my favorite authors.  And so, I write the kind of stories that I love to read, and hope that others enjoy them as well.
