PAIN Frank Mercer thought he knew what that was when he woke up on a strange beach, more dead than alive. His memories had been stripped from him, his mind a gaping void of unanswered questions. But when the small farming family found him and nursed him back to health, so too did his mind begin to heal. And then came the nightmares. RAGE Something lies just underneath the surface of Frank's mind, a darkness possessed of vicious intelligence with a personality of it's own. Old injuries and the kindness of new friends have thus far held it at bay, in particular one small girl with a rare gift and a big heart. But when old disputes come back to surface, Frank soon finds himself standing between a brutal crime lord and the family he has come to love. Caught in the middle of monsters, mages, and killers, he is helpless to prevent the emergence of a far greater evil. POWER Frank is regaining more of himself, the growing power within him unlike anything the continent of Endath has ever known. But even as he faces off against a horde of enemies, another foe perches among the recesses of his mind and waits. For his body once belonged to another, and with each new discovery of lost memories and abilities a little bit more of that other returns.
Autorenporträt
Dan prizes whimsy, abhors boredom, and has a middling relationship with focus. This combination led to Rewriting Stella. That, and a damn long drive to the Serengeti. His sonnet obsession began as a gift-giving exercise. After a rather pleasant dinner one night he decided to write up the occasion in oddly formal poetry, offer shout-outs to each participant, and email it to them. None replied. Thrilled by market demand, he then made a habit of memorializing occasions in iambic pentameter. The power of the stories we tell ourselves and all that. Eventually Stella matured and those stories began to make sense. At one point Dan could speak Spanish, Swahili, Chinese, Melanesian Pijin, and conversational English. At one point he could also do calculus. But what is life but a departure from points once thought important? If you ask Dan, he'll gladly tell you about that time helped prevent an outbreak of the bubonic plague in East Africa, how he used to be able to read a Chinese newspaper, and how he's mildly synesthetic. But only for a story in return.
