My second published novel of 2014 is now available at Amazon and other places: Einar and the Cursed City, published by ReAnimus Press. Originally, Einar was to be produced by a different publisher, but that did not work out so well, and we went our mutual ways. I'm lucky that ReAnimus was interested in me enough to take on the publication, a rare enough situation (as any writer can say, even in the small press world).

Einar and the Cursed City is a young adult fantasy novel and suitable for readers of all ages, young and old.

The story: Sixteen-year-old Einar goes to Jorghaven for dueling and desserts, but a curse has changed everyone except the champion Barbara Bloodbath, who needs his help to free the city. The dueling is a challenge system whereby the better duelists increase their rating and rise higher in life; the desserts include ice cream and donuts, among other treats. Hey, if you can magic, you can have ice cream. Against the backdrop of dueling and desserts, the curse becomes an overwhelming factor.
