This novel  grew out of my Ph.D. researches and my fascination with the real-life French courier-de-bois, Martin Chartier, who traveled the interior of American three-quarters of a century earlier than Daniel Boone crossed the Alleghanies. Most research is finished and the entire plot and details are worked out, but only several chapters have actually been put in print. I anticipate January 2008 for its release. Wilderness Renegade, about Martin’s metis son Peter Chartier, will be another year after that in coming.

My Ph.D. thesis brought together scattered linguistic, cultural and historical material in order to provide a comprehensive account through the prism of a study of the Shawnee’s own traditions. Since it was submitted in 1975, much more material has come to light and my researches have continued. This work will add cumulative research results, previously unpublished data, and new perspectives. I anticipate having it ready by the end of this summer. Check out http://www.shawnee-traditions.com for some of my material along with the genealogical researchers of my partner Don Greene on Shawnee Names and relationships.

The first novel in the Gondawyn trilogy, Demonbane, is now online. The second title, Thunder Maiden, is finished and final editing underway. The final book, DoomSlayer, gives the series the word Apocalypse because it is about the end of a world, and a new beginning (alpha and omega meet at the opposite ends of a circle).
