After much fruitless searching, leading them through the Mariskal and finally to Aperkolu, the chosen have recovered Melbarth's rod. In the process, Rokwolf showed his prowess, defeating Gwenatera, the Fire Queen, almost singlehandedly, releasing the trapped spirit of fire, Atala, from the flesh that imprisoned her. Before taking the rod, Gar tries to stop them himself, offering to heal the damage done to each of them, if they will leave Melbarth's rod where it is. The Lord of Evil shows t...

Klare has been restored to life, but in the process, Delgart has wandered off in the company of a heretofore unknown traitor; Klaybear and Thal's bodies have been recovered from the space in between space and time, but their minds are gone, and where they have gone, we do not yet know; the reclusive vedi race has broken its long isolation to aid the people of the land because of the appearance of 'white ponkolum', or servants of Gar who have renounced him and joined the chosen in service t...

Five hundred years have passed since the evil Lord Gar was banished into the Void. The world is plunging into an age of ice, and not even the caretakers--Master Klaybear, Master Thalamar, Sir Blakstar, and Lady Kovaine--understand why. As the ice flows mercilessly from the north, the seas withdraw, leaving all the ports high and dry. Crops begin to fail, and many people have begun to migrate south to escape the ice. A new generation of heroes, guided by the caretakers, must rise up to face...

Woli has been captured by the northerners, now a slave to one of the female leaders. His twin, Rola, wants to rescue her brother at once, but their masters, Thalamar & Klaybear, counsel that the time is not right. In the south, the search for the missing nefalem leads Telor, with Blakstar and Kovaine, deeper into the nefali mines and an old enemy who wishes to destroy them. What they find shocks even their masters: an old enemy all had thought died during the Great Year. . . .

The chosen begin their search for the attacker of Shigmar, who holds Melbarth's Rod, in their effort to recover the rod. This search leads them deep into the swamp named Mariskal where they find the solitary monsters have banded together and begun to attack the areas nearest the Mariskal.

In an attempt to minimize the influence of the red kailum on the people, the gwenakso, led by her commanders Delgart and Marilee, with the aid of their fellow chosen, infiltrate the red kailu fortress of Luflina, killing the red kailu masters and using their fall to convince the Red Guards to surrender and switch their allegiance. As the red kailu Magsamel lay dying, he hints at the fact that this fortress is not the home of their order, that the red kailu order is everywhere. In the proce...

This second volume of Broiler Pit poems continues to focus on memories of growing up in Idaho's only seaport, Lewiston, during the 1960s and 70s; these poems record feelings of life in a time and place that no longer exist, except in the memory of those who lived through these times, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, most often comical, but different from the world in which we currently reside.

In this fourth book of The Redemption series, the chosen continue their search for Melbarth's rod while the general populace actively seek to destroy them; they locate the missing rod and confront the rod's terrible guardian.

The poems in this collection, for the most part, result from nightmares that continue to plague me, for I am a coward at heart. I still fear the dark, hear noises in the night, run from shadows, or simply hide under the covers, hoping that someone will save me, or that the light will return and dispel the creatures lurking in my night. This collection is best read with the lights on bright, unless one is of sterner stuff than the author. Many of the poems commemorate one of my favorite hol...
