Under The Stairs Series   Twelve True Fantasy™ Novels The Under the Stairs series is about the adventures of John Lyon, a young History Professor who discovers a hidden gateway (under the stairs of his old house) to a fantastic place he calls "Bandworld." Bandworld appears to be a planet that is firmly set in the Dark Ages: castles, kings, rigid social caste systems, primitive technology, etc. As John Lyon spends more time in Bandworld, he finds that his assessment of this "medieval" place is shockingly incomplete.

Recent Reviews/Reader Comments: "I literally savored this book like a turkey dinner with a fine wine and cinnamon apple pie for dessert! A man literally steps into the shoes of a mage in another world. He not only has to convince the natives of this world, but himself, that his magic is real." Read the entire review of Under The Stairs at: E-book It - Linda Horne (creator of E-book It - Ebook Reviews/Blog) "I'm really hooked on Under the Stairs - delightful!" - Judi Irving (Hull, U.K.) "I think the story would make the best television show. Much better than most of the drivel out there now. The combination of history, engineering and fantasy would make it entertaining and educational at the same time. I realize that will probably never happen, but it’s nice to dream… I’m obviously a voracious fantasy reader; most is just tripe. It’s rare that I come across a story that makes me want more. . .

Z Detective Series   Twelve Murder/Mystery Novels Meet Big Bob Zapolska, an unlicensed private eye who reads detective fiction for self improvement. Z's stubbornness, combined with other useful "skills" such as a keen sense of smell and a healthy disregard for legal "technicalities," helps land him in the middle of some interesting situations. Big Bob Zapolska may be a loner. He may be a loser. He may, in fact, be a dangerous pyromaniac. But if someone has cheated you --- if someone is crowding you --- it's good to have the Z-man on your side!       Of further help to him are his personal beliefs: Big and ugly are assets in the P.I. game. Tell the truth when possible --- it's hard to remember lies. An occasional rage-driven blackout can be helpful. To avoid temptation --- give in to it immediately. Never break the law --- unless you have to. If you blackjack a man correctly, he will rarely suffer permanent brain damage. In the right hands [Z's], fire is an excellent motivator.

Downloaded the 1st one free and then bought the rest. He can really tell a story, all interwoven, but connected in the end. Definite read!" - Carla Bream "I find your Father's "Z" series excellent reading. I got the Kindle mobi file as I'm now a dedicated Kindle user first starting with Kindle for PC and now the owner of a new Kindle wifi, 3G. Please let your Dad know how much I enjoy his stories. Perhaps after I finish the "Z" series I will try the science fiction as I also enjoy good sifi." - Dave (South Texas)
