The Slayer Series

Cursed. Callobus Swordstar only wants a normal life, but a curse that threatens to consume him has assured the rest of his days will be filled with chaos. Although a powerful weapon, does he dare use the curse to help those around him, or does he fight for control as his family and friends are destroyed? When things go from bad to worse, Callobus must turn to unlikely allies and depend on friends that he puts in danger just by being close to them. When a dragon shatters all he holds dear and threatens to obliterate his world, the true test begins. Will he accept help or go it alone on his quest to kill the creature? The dragon must die before he can save his family. He wants to become a warrior. He needs to become a hero. He must become a slayer.

Revenge. The rage lies in the back of his mind. Though he promised never to let it take control of him gain, Callobus Swordstar can feel his curse growing. When it comes between letting the rage loose and the chance of death, which will he choose? Does he unleash the power to save his family or hold back with fears that if using it, he could kill those he loves most? The dragon is dead, but his mother and sister are still missing. Callobus has vowed to find those holding his family and kill them. But first, he must traverse a desert and find a town that doesn’t seem to exist. With his friends by his side, he can accomplish anything. Or can he? Nothing is as it seems as he makes his way through rock and sand. It appears that in every town there are those who wish to do him harm. Evil lies in the darkest shadows.

Justice. The wizard that caused Callobus so much pain is dead, his mother has been freed and a town was saved, but there are those whose eyes are still on the warrior. He has vowed to find his sister and make those in charge of the wizard pay dearly for their crimes. Will he risk everything for a woman he never really knew? A new love has entered his life and for the first time in a long time, he is happy. As long as Mileena is beside him, Callobus can no longer feel the rage trying to break free, but a dark secret haunts one of his friends. Can he control his curse when he finds out the truth? The slayer of evil must charge into a kingdom filled with those who would do him harm, but the most damage may come from one he loves. To truly be rid of his fears and his family free, he must liberate a kingdom in peril.

Trena Treelimb is a beautiful young Redwood Elf living in a time of peace in Wildingwood Forest, but she is about to become a woman, an adult, and that peace shall be disturbed. After Trena meets a strange man, she finds out that the life-giving Elder Tree has been poisoned. The Redwood Elves believe that this strange new bard can be none other than the hero of prophecy known as Slayer who possesses a special thing that they call Evilbane. Thus the elves send Trena and the bard on a quest to destroy the source of the poison, which is the only way to save the Elder Tree and prevent the evil god and enemy of the Creator, wicked Samhain Sharmat, from escaping from his prison. This is Sharmat's Folly, Book One of The Slayer Series!

Months after waking up in a hospital after being found passed out in a dumpster, having awaken from his "dream" about the land of Talmora, the lovely Trena Treelimb and the dark god Samhain Sharmat and his evil bride, Sharmane the Darkstar, Jacob Hope has quit playing guitar for the heavy metal band "Jaded" and entered a country-like drug rehab facility in his hometown of Redwood City, California. But he suddenly one spring night finds that he is being called to the world of Eradus and the realm of Talmora once more. He is reunited with Trena Treelimb and Melek at Redwood in Wildingwood Forest not only to find out that the she-elf that he loves is now a queen but also has an heir. For twenty years had gone by in Eradus since he last he was there. But he has little time to absorb the shock of that news as he and Prince Ruel Hope Treelimb must go on an urgent quest. Zarah the Werj now rules the kingdom of Tar Indra and is the de facto Overlord of the Five Kingdoms of the Werjs. He plans on bringing a vast army to conquer Redwood and force Queen Trena Treelimb to marry him. It will be up to the heir and the otherworldly bard to find out what the source of Overlord Zarah's powers of black magic is, how to destroy it and then to seek and snuff out the source of the power before it is too late!

Jacob Hope has cleaned himself up, is engaged to be married and has a child on the way. This will not stop the Lord of Nothingness and Prince of the Dead - Samhain Sharmat - who has recently broke his way free from the subterranean prison that had held him in bonds for over two millennia, from making one final attempt at conquering the fair land of Talmora and the whole world of Eradus for his own. Jacob Hope is thus summoned to Eradus once again from his domicile of California - this time by the giant and enigmatic wizard-druid Melek who will reunite him with his erstwhile lover, Queen Trena Treelimb of Redwood and their son, Prince Ruel Hope Treelimb and introduce him also to a new companion that is the last thing that Jacob "The Slayer" expects or wants. Jacob Hope will be in constant trepidation and turmoil as the companions journey for what will finally be a face-to-face final confrontation with Samhain Sharmat, the evil immortal whom fancies himself a god. All of this while the reluctant bard-hero Jacob "Slayer" Hope is constantly fretting about how he will ever survive to be able to return to his finance and their unborn child!
