WELCOME TO THE LAND OF CAERN, where the gods - the Children of Az -can choose to be born into the world as mortals to directly affect events... and often do. And where the conflict between religious faith and arcane magic has reached a breaking point. Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor, has been murdered. Only a handful of people live in Avedon Hill, and most are suspects. Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, must gain access to Avedon Hill's mountain pass. But Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood... To earn his passage, Arames Kragen must discover who killed Gretta Platt. He must also uncover the truth about a town that seems to have more secrets than inhabitants.
P.G. Holyfield grew up in the grand state of Virginia; while attending the University of Virginia, P.G. majored in Religious Studies, focusing on the belief systems and mythologies of the Eastern world. His love for mythology led to the creation of the fantasy setting called The Land of Caern.
A gamer for most of his life, P.G. has spent almost twenty years creating content for The Land of Caern. After finishing the first draft of Murder at Avedon Hill, P.G. produced the audio version of the novel as a podcast. Two years later, with over half a million audio episodes downloaded, Murder at Avedon Hill was brought to print by Dragon Moon Press.
Murder at Avedon Hill won the John W. Polidori Award for Best Vampire Novel of 2010.
Murder at Avedon Hill is a finalist for Best Fantasy Novel at the Foreword Book of the Year Awards.
P.G. continues to podcast and is hard at work on the sequel to Murder at Avedon Hill. Sadly P.G. lost his way and now resides in the one state he never anticipated falling in love with... North Carolina.
