Biography
Cubicle drone by day, fantasy writer by night - the wizards and centaur type, not the ideas the creepy guy who wants to buy me a margarita has about fantasy.
My dream is to become a full-time writer, either that or a wizard, oh, yeah, and ride a pegasus. If that is out, I'll settle for a corner office and my own parking spot.

- The Gnome and Mrs. Meyers
on July 21, 2011
The Gnome and Mrs. Meyers was a great, fun book to read. Reading light fantasy is one of my guilty pleasures. I'm far too grown up for a book like this and I loved it. Throughout the book, you found yourself rooting for Mrs. Meyers and also marveling over the gnome view of life.

This is a very short story, but a charming and well-written one.

I just finished this book and immediately went to see if this author had written another. He has renewed my faith in self-published books. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon today and I read the book in one sitting. Yes, it probably borrows from Lord of the Rings a little, but I loved Lord of the Rings, so I thought it was great. I would have liked it a little bit more if there had been any female characters in the book besides the minor role played by the queen. Other than that bit of there being no women involved in anything, the author drew a believable portrait of another world, which is what writing fantasy is all about.
