SHAMELESS WONDERS leaves off where THE STOLEN MOON OF LONDOR (available now in paperback and ebook) left off. The world of Londor is in its darkest hour when one of the twin moons disappears from the heavens. Evil is spreading its dark hand out across the once peaceful kingdoms who have all fallen victim to sickness, warfare, and utter chaos.

Follow the continuing adventure of Randor Miithra, the ancient wizard and Servant to the Elf-God Ethindar, as he leads his motley band of followers out into the world to investigate and bring down the evil forces meaning to end Londor in a most bitter way. As Randor and Company press onward in their quest, the lands around them fall deeper into ruin and the flow of mana has turned on its edge.

Their road has become more perilous and greater evil awaits in the deepening shadows of turmoil…. Will the forces of good triumph over that of evil? Can Randor and Company bring down the shameless wonders that have risen before it is too late?  THE WHITE SHADOW SAGA: SHAMELESS WONDERS will take you on an action-filled adventure that will leave you waiting and wondering until the epic conclusion of the trilogy comes in 2011.

Sample of my artwork

In the House of Runes, beneath the moons

Strike up the cheer and raise your beer

The day is done, the drinks have begun

Strum the lute and play the flute

A pub of song the whole night long

The day is done, the drinks have begun

A lovely choir dances round the fire

Set the table and tell us a fable

The day is done, the feasts have begun

Pile it high, up to the sky

We cannot wait so pass the plate

The day is done, the feasts have begun

We are starved from wood we’ve carved

A day of the arts straight from our hearts

The night is here, spend it with cheer

Full is my wagon, now here is my flagon

The dwarves of the valley do not dally

The night is here, spend it with cheer

Others of our race have caves as their place

Top side we stay with bright sun all day

Beowulken my home, I shall not roam

With craft as king, we all do sing

Land of my brothers, I praise you above others

Beowulken my home, I shall not roam

A Beowulken Song

Miithra, wizard

One of the Randor Order

Savior of people

Known to one and all

A servant to the elf-god

Ethindar on high

A battle-ridden

Soul of many a long eons

When will he find rest?

Working on two more dates and locations.

I look forward to seeing you at one of these events. And please spread the word to your friends and family members about The Stolen Book Tour 2010.

Conjour 2.0 is a fantasy, sci-fi and horror convention all rolled into one. There will be many panels about these genres, costuming, writing, gaming, special guests from NASA will be there, and much more. A Dealer Room will also be at the Con, selling con-goers the latest and greatest in all things related. Hot meals will once again be served at this year’s Con, so no one will go hungry or be in search for food.

Registration is still under way, so get registered today for $15, which will cover you all weekend. Admission at the door will be $20 for the weekend. So go on over to the Con’s site and join the fun early.

This year’s Guest of Honor is Steven Brust, author of the Vlad Taltos assassin novels.

Other Guests at the Con include Ghost of a Rose, Simon Nightingale, Linda Nightingale, Trey Wickwire, OEGP, The Us’es, Glen Welch, Kerry Tolan, the 501st Legion, The Rebel Legion, NASA officials, and many more.

Times and schedules of the Con are being finalized and will be posted here once they become available.

Here is a map to the Con.

I will be speaking on three panels related to writing. Panels are apart of the entrance fee to the Con, so no worries about having to pay extra to go to the panels. I will also have a reading of my work, so come on over and here a bit of THE STOLEN MOON OF LONDOR and be the first to hear some of TALES FROM FALGRIN that will not come out until February.

Copies of THE STOLEN MOON OF LONDOR will be on sale at the Con for $10, autographed of course.

I hope to see some of you out there. It will be a great weekend of fun.
