About this ebook
Possibly the first nascent strivings of religion is recorded in the short story, ‘A Goblin’s Victory.’ That the first known development of human religion is flesh sacrifice (murder of humans and animals to propitiate the violent gods) may have been in imitation to the practice first observed by humans conducted by these goblins.
The longer short story, ‘A First Time For...’ details Shan-Caudl’s first love. At least we think it’s his first love. He was still in his teens at the time but there can be no doubt about his feelings for Tarliss.
In the short story, ‘The Cave’ we may have the first adventure of Perser accompanied by Shan-Caudl. To date we have not found any previous adventure of these two and we do not (as yet) know what their first meeting was like and the circumstances so this tale becomes instructive in understanding Perser and Shan-Caudl as individuals as well as friends.
The prequel to ‘The Blue Sword’ and Perser’s quest is contained in the novella, ‘Oaff.’ We learn much about Perser and the goblins’ mission.
In a contemporary prequel we have titled, ‘Fess’ we see Shan-Caudl’s abilities for quick thinking and his natural bonhomie.
‘A Soldier’s Dilemma’ is a tale of two soldiers in the midst of the ‘War of the Races’ initiated by goblins against humans, elves, dwarves and others.

aloha, I was born in Providence, Rhode Island but began a life of many moves soon thereafter (3 high schools, 2 junior high schools...even 2 kindergardens). I kept moving in a westerly direction until I reached Hawaii. If I moved any further west it'd be east so I returned to California (& gave up a Hemenway scholarship from UH). Spent too much time in competitive athletic endeavors (I was told I was the only history major at La Crosse State U. I was there to play baseball at a very good phy-ed school). Yes, history was my major but you can do only 2 things with a history degree: teach or write. I wasn't ready to do either so I ended up as a pysch nurse (after doing this and that). My motto: Life is serious but...you cannot take it seriously. I've always been interested in people and the human condition and I have the gift of wonder (ex. if wisdom is important why does our culture - and others - ignore it and not esteem it? Our educational system doesn't even teach it in philosophy classes ['No more Kant and the color red already!]). Hence (or is it ergo?), I've matured enough to devote myself to the scribbling craft. Mahalo, Peter
