Deus Ex Machina

About this ebook
Here is the answer to the degradation wrought upon classic fantasy by role-playing games! From muscle-bound heroes and bumbling wizards to a vegetarian vampire and Hollywood zombies, this tongue-in-cheek anthology rips them all with fine impartiality. Included is the infamous 'Roadquest!', charitably described as 'The Lord Of The Rings done by Monty Python'. This collection of eleven short stories finally does justice to the overworked, much-abused fantasy genre by presenting them as we would love to see them told - just once.

I have always been a compulsively creative sort, notorious for my lunchtime projects. Now that I'm retired, I give vent to my creative urges as a self-published author of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I established 'The Written Wyrd', a non-profit literary trust in Washington State, to promote self-published and small press authorship in speculative fiction. All proceeds from sales of my works go to support the Spec Fic community. I especially like to explore new genres and sub-genres in the Spec Fic field, and my works run from humorous adventure to apocalyptic horror to political thriller to mystery/romance. I am noted for my over-the-top sense of humor, as reflected in several of my works.
