The Gryphon Taint: Volume
One is the first book in a fantasy epic about monsters,
angels, witches, and royalty. The ebook can be downloaded in its
entirety. You don't pay a cent.
Why a free to read ebook? Well, I have rarely
purchased
a book before having read something of the author's work first, and
usually the copy was either loaned by a friend, or borrowed from the
library. But my book isn't in the libary yet. Your friends don't have
it to loan. So I must be the good chum that says, "Hey! Read this! It's
good!"
So go ahead. Read it and enjoy. If you like it,
come back and put my series on your shelf. And please tell your
friends. I can't be a bestselling author without you.
Bound in Stone:
Volume One is also free to read as an ebook. The first novel of the Bound set covers the early years
of two brothers and how they become slaves of the Shadow Master. Volume
Two is about how they break free of him, despite family members that
would prefer to remain in power under the sorcerer's patronage, and
despite the desperate attempts of the Shadow Master's coven to murder
the boy that is slowing down his political agenda. Volume three is a
massive personal disaster for our youngest hero, but don't worry. He
survives, and you'll meet him again in The Gryphon Taint, at which
point he gets set to cause hell in the following three books, The
Disposition of Ashes.
Content
warning: Bound in Stone and all books after Gryphon Two
have adult themes.
Note: Look for ebook versions of my novels
below the print versions. :-)

Print: $14.63 Kehfrey, infamous Pek assassin and plaything of the Shadow Master, hides his traumatic past as Herfod, the Turamen monk touted to be a living saint. He's become the confessor and close friend of the Ulmeniran monarch, but will this save him when Tehlm Sevet decides the time is at last right to invade the southern realms and take his reluctant lover back by force?
Perhaps not. Herfod's beloved Nicky has re-entered his life, but as the King’s mistress. And despite a friendship that has lasted eight years, Ugoth has grown suspicious of his confessor’s continued attempts to occlude the truth about his childhood in Winfel. Can Herfod continue to be loyal to his King when Nicky stands between them, and while Tehlm Sevet owns his soul?

Print: $13.03 Ufrid Tyrunath, the heir apparent to the throne of Ulmenir, has been a hero, a leader, and a traitor. He’s colluded with the Shadow Master, murdered his father, and raped his brother’s wife. In retribution, he’s been forced into slavery to an ancient half-elf female, grandmother of the woman he can never have. How can life get any worse?
Oh, it can get much worse, if one has crossed the line of social decency and taken a certain renegade monk for a lover. Slavery will seem an easy burden by the time Ufrid learns the truth of former Abbot Herfod, revered living saint of the Turamen Order. And the promise of death will be but a small price to pay for having earned the secret.
This novel is the seventh book in The Soulstone Chronicles.

His brother has returned from travels afar with another god in tow, a satyr that may well know what and who Herfod is. Worse yet, there is a secret watcher up in the heavens, and he seems disapproving of the current path Herfod has chosen to take in life.
