The Apprentice (Rogue, Band 1) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I grew up in a small rural community having no idea what fantasy fiction was all about. Sure there was science fiction, and I remember well watching “The Planet of the Apes” at a young age, but when I was introduced to fantasy fiction for the first time, I had not a clue. It was my seventh or eighth grade english teacher that introduced me to modern epic fantasy in the form of “The Hobbit” by J.R.R Tolkien. I read that book quickly and moved onto “The Lord of The Rings.” Afterwards, a friend gave me a copy of a book titled “The Crystal Shard” by R.A.Salvatore and I have been hooked on fantasy and reading ever since. It’s not just the fantasy genre that interests me though. I like a good story and read a little bit of everything. Louis L’amour tells many engaging western stories. One of my favorite non-fantasy books is “Gone to Texas” by Forest Carter. Most people know “Gone to Texas” as “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” starring Clint Eastwood. Other authors I enjoy reading include Michael Crichton, Stephen King, George R.R.Martin, Ed Greenwood, Kristin Britain, Terry Brooks, and many others whom are way too numerous to name. So I guess you could say my reading interest–and for that matter movie going interest–are as eclectic as my music interest which ranges from Garth Brooks to Metallica. Aside from writing I enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities with my wife and children. We keep a small laying flock of hens, a handful of pygora goats, and a garden. I also enjoy camping and fishing activities.
