    Default My novel Windshaper now available on Amazon Kindle

    Windshaper is my first published novel, just published on Amazon Kindle. It's been in the works for years and is an epic fantasy in the grand tradition of LoTR and Earthsea. It's volume one of The Masks of Llyra and I'm currently 2/3 of the way into the sequel, with at least two more volumes planned.

    Very cool Ecstatic. I wish you luck with sales of the book and in your presumably *new* career.

    EDIT: By the way, you mention books by Tolkien and LeGuin. Do you have other influences?

    Thanks! Actually I've been writing for quite some time, with a few minor publications, but this is my first novel. I earned my Master's in English/Creative Writing with an early draft of the novel as my thesis.

    Quite a few, actually. My major literary figure for my MA was C.S. Lewis (of course Narnia, but much more the Space Trilogy and Till We Have Faces). Other fantasy influences include Patricia McKillip, Peter S. Beagle, Marion Zimmer Bradley (her Avalon novels), Neil Gaiman, Roger Zelazny, Charles Williams, and Julian May. Other influences, a little less obvious, include Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Jorge Luis Borges, Herman Hesse, William Blake, and Richard Brautigan.

    WOW, Congrats. great timing for the release because this is definitely the hot genre of the moment. hold out for big cash if Netflix comes a calling.

    Thanks my friend! Yes, I hope I catch the zeitgeist and don't miss it running by. I actually have been talking with a production company if it takes off, but that's putting the dragon ahead of the starship if you catch my drift.

    Congratulations! I read the preview and it piqued my interest. I'm not an e-book reader though so i'll wait for a print edition. You mentioned some influences above but I was mostly reminded of Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan, and Tad Williams - not too shabby if I might say so

    Thanks runningdownthatdream. I'm not sure when I'll have a print version out, but I'm looking into it. Terry Brooks and Robert Jordan are great, though I don't count them as influences. I'm not familiar with Tad Williams.

    Thanks Christian. Maybe I should be a fan of Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, but I haven't read them. I'll check them out.
