I would say that I've tried to make my novels within IPs as approachable as possible for someone not versed in the lore, but even so books like 'Rise of the Celestians' and the Skaven Wars series rely on some prior knowledge of the setting. Perhaps the Brunner the Bounty Hunter omnibus would be a good starting point, or 'Age of the Undead', the first in my Zombicide trilogy. In a more horror vein, I'm quite proud of 'Castle of Blood'.(less)

Howard. That last one was a collection put together to promote the Jason Momoa movie and has, what I consider, the greatest hits from Howard's Conan stories. (less)

Quotes by C.L. Werner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Revenge is my honour,’ the Iron Warrior growled, his words echoing from the marble walls. Rhodaan’s voice was an alchemy of pride and bitterness. After millennia of unending war, he knew the Legion’s thirst for revenge would never be quenched and so he was doomed to die without honour. The moment the Legion’s flesh-rippers had claimed him, he had become one of the damned. They had given him strength and power beyond anything a mere mortal could possess, but in return they had taken everything.”
C.L. Werner, The Siege of Castellax

“Thanquol”
C.L. Werner, Grey Seer

“sunken”
C.L. Werner, Grey Seer

“Only happy people have nightmares, from overeating. For those who live a nightmare reality, sleep is a black hole, lost in time, like death.”
Guy Sajer, The Forgotten Soldier

“When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?”
Robert E. Howard

He's horrific, but like Matthias, he has substance and the role he plays in the story is not all he is. I'm finding him very interesting.

Matthias Thulmann got me through a rough time, you of all people need to know that. While I was reading the omnibus circa 2015/16, life sucked, and Matthias's story was a powerful escape.

Thank you so very much for the kind words and high praise. 'The Red Duke' was a particularly great novel to work on. He's one of the most horrific characetrs in the setting and it was nice to bring him back into some prominence again.


Twenty Eleven Thank you for becoming my friend. Ever since I read the Matthias Thulmann omnibus 10 years ago, you became a must buy author. If your name is on the cover of any Warhammer novel, I don't care what it's about, I have to have it.
You're the best at inserting horror, gore and gothic in a Warhammer setting (my favorite world) and that's the best kind of reads.
You're killing it with The Red Duke.
