When a twist of fate enslaves Anala to the Lord Prince Jaya Sarojin, Anala is engaged in a battle to free herself from slavery and her world from subjugation to a corrupt Mehtaran consortium.

But if one mrerly sees the diversity of things then one has impure knowledge. And if one selfishly sees a thing as if it were everything, independent of the ONE and the many, then one is in the darkness of ignorance. — Krishna, Bhagavad Gita 18:20-22 /i>

Now available as an e-Book for Kindle and Nook, Angelfire is a fast-paced tale of strange magics and heroic destinies, the exciting sequel to Magic Time, the novel Orson Scott Card praised as "the best new dose of magic to hit the world of fantasy literature in a long time."
The world has changed -- forever. Across America, technology has been eclipsed by magic, and people are changing into the embodiments of their darkest desires and deepest fears. In this new time, former lawyer Cal Griffin has united a small group of outcasts to battle the chaos.
Searching for the source of the unholy phenomenon -- and to save Cal's sister, Tina -- these unlikely heroes make their way cross country, led by the visions of a lunatic and the fragile song of a blind man. Hidden within ancient burial mounds, a secret paradise may offer the chance of hope. But first they must make their way to Chicago to battle a primal monster . . . and the darkness within themselves.
"Takes up where The Stand leaves off. Taut writing, interesting characters, fascinating situations -- they all make me eagerly look forward to the next installment in this saga." --Harry Turtledove, on Magic Time

They said Meredydd-a-Lagan was a fluke—a rebellious girl who went to the Meri’s Sea in defiance of tradition. She was no fluke. She trod the path of Taminy-a-Cuinn, the girl who sought the Meri one hundred years before.

She’s five-foot-two, gamine, and weighs eighty-nine pounds in a soggy trench coat. The nickname “Tinkerbell” has followed her from high school. It’s hard to imagine her riding a Harley named Boris, or packing a baby blue .357 Magnum. She does both. She’s Gina Miyoko, private eye.

The Meri, one of the two primary ruling forces in Caraid-land, changes the destiny of her people forever when she chooses to release Taminy, a former vessel of the Meri who was prosecuted as a witch.
The Crystal Rose continues the story of Taminy and the wrinkles she and her followers have made in the seemingly smooth fabric of Caraid-land. It is a darker book than either The Meri or Taminy because it deals in some depth with the battle between powers that are self-serving and oppressive (personified in the tale's truly nasty antagonist, Daimin Feich and his ilk) and a power that is liberating and progressive. The effects of such a battle can't help but be devastating to the warriors, the civilians and the general landscape.

THE MERI is a Locus Magazine Best First Novel pick and a Crawford Fantasy Award finalist.

Blamed along with the other witches of the mountain for everything that goes wrong in the kingdom of Dalibor, the widow Kassia finds a chance for escape from Master Sorcerer Lukusha at his school of arcane learning.
Fantasy with Rivets!
I'd like to comment that THE SPIRIT GATE is more than just a traditional "mage-in-training" fantasy. The summary line is from an interview I did with Starlog and was coined by the reporter to describe my fantasies. Since most of my short fiction is science fiction, I suppose it should be no surprise that my fantasies have a pragmatic bent. TSG is a book of political intrigue, mystery, and deals with magic in what I hope is a fresh way. Dragon Magazine calls the magic in TSG "an intriguing construct, at once traditional yet distinctive" and goes on to say that, "Bohnho |
