Growing up in New York when I was a kid, I used to haunt the science fiction and fantasy bookstore in Yonkers, searching for the epic fantasy stories that I loved to read. When I exhausted all my options, I started writing my own stories, never realizing that one day I would publish them.

Peter Wacht answered Bob Flanagan's question: Mr. Wacht, When will books 5+ of the Sylvan Chronicles come to audio books? I have listened to the first 4 and am dying to know the rest of the story. Thanks, Bob Bob, Thank you for listening. The audiobook publisher has declined to produce the remaining five. I'm waiting for the contract to conclude so I can produce the series on my own. Sorry for the inconvenience. Pete

“Rodric adhered to an agreement only for as long as it suited him. Once it proved a hindrance, he would be the first to break it. Yet still Rodric expected others to follow their agreements with him to the letter, seeing their unwillingness to do so as a personal betrayal.”
