Every heroic fantasy has its hero - the dashing, handsome, fearless warrior who will rush into battle, slaughter the forces of evil, secure in the knowledge that he will save the day and win the favor of the (always beautiful and virginal) princess of the land, and live happily ever after. This is not about that guy. Apropos is the son of a prostitute, born of a gang-rape by a bunch of drunk knights, and his mother is convinced that the universe has Great Things planned for him. Apropos is sick of hearing the word "destiny" being bandied about, and he would rather save his own skin than the world. Unfortunately, the world has other plans for him...…mehr

Autorenporträt
Peter David is the pen name for Peter Hartog. Peter Hartog is definitely not the pen name for anyone else. Regardless, both Peters despise talking about themselves in the third person. So, I guess I won't. I was born in Massachusetts, raised by MTV, the A-Team, Star Trek, Star Wars, action figures, comic books, D&D, classic heroic fantasy, and Saturday morning cartoons. Then I moved to Georgia much later in life. Because the Deep South apparently needs northerners like me. (No, they actually don't.) When I'm not writing, I'm working. Ok, that's not entirely true. But mostly, it IS true. In-between that, I get run over by our cats Max, Leo, and Zoey, or Ollie, our big, goofy, fluffy golden retriever. I use "our" because I'm the proud father of two teenagers, and the equally proud husband to a most-of-the-time loving wife who possesses an infinite amount of patience. I say "most-of-the-time" because there are some days when she doesn't like me very much...usually because of something that I said or did...which is probably true. I'm also the author of the ongoing urban science fantasy crime thriller series (say that 10 times fast...because I can't), The Guardian of Empire City. You can find both books on Amazon. Thank you for reading Buddy the Knight and The Queen of Sorrow. For more Buddy and other writerly content, please visit my website at peterhartog.com.
