More About the Author

He knows what year is on the Giant Penny in the Batcave and used to be able to explain THAC0. Hobbies include writing, reading comics, watching everything on Netflix, chainmail, and explaining the jokes on The Big Bang Theory to his wife. He currently lives in Indianapolis with his wife and a disgustingly handsome French bulldog.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Start, August 11, 2005
This review is from: Grimoire de Solace: Volume 1: Lost Runes and Sorrow (Paperback)
Earlier reviewer was partially correct: the best writers here are Wagner and Shrewsbury, but I would include Heath as well. Also, I wouldn't put Shrewsbury above the other two. In fact, probably just below them, but it's close, and it really depends on your taste. Heath has more flair and isn't afraid to take chances with a unique phrase or plot device, Wagner has knack for picking just the right word and his writing flows very smoothly, while Shrews has a more straight-forward, conventional style that he employs with practiced competence. The rest of the volume is (mostly) unremarkable, but I'd say it's worth the money just for these three. Who knows, maybe one, or all, will hit it big and you'll have a nice token of their early work. If you enjoy tradition fantasy, this is for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Fantasy?, July 28, 2002
This review is from: Grimoire de Solace: Volume 1: Lost Runes and Sorrow (Paperback)
I'm not a lover of Dungeons and dragons material, but this book intrigued me at first. Overall, the writers were average and some of the stories not very original, save for a couple. Sean Wagner does some good things and writes well, but Steve Shrewsbury's story is the best head and shoulders high. I can tell a difference in his storytelling than the other writers. I think he isn't drawing from the D&D manual. The art was pretty good in places, but many of the stories left me flat.
