More About the Author

Testing, testing. Is this thing on?

*ahem*

Anyway, hi there and welcome to my Amazon.com page. I'm a writer and video game designer, currently residing in Durham, North Carolina and working for Red Storm Entertainment. Officially, my title is Central Clancy Writer, which means I work on many of the Tom Clancy licensed video games, as well as other titles like Might & Magic and Far Cry. In my professional capacity, I fulfill a variety of roles - script doctor, writer, designer, design manager - you name it.

By night, I write horror fiction. My first publication was a paper in the academic journal Lovecraft Studies, and since then I've had four novels, one novella, and a handful of short stories published. Most of what I right seems to fall into a sort of transplanted Southern Gothic, hence the name of my website - http://www.snowbirdgothic.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Mediums done right, November 11, 1999

This review is from: *OP Mediums: Speakers with the Dead (Paperback)

This is a fine resource for mediums, much better than the Quick and the Dead. The systems stuff is vastly improved, with a battery of new merits and flaws for mediums that I actually found useful (and can be used to supplement or replace the hedge magic paths for interacting with wraiths). There is some good stuff on summoning, a large section on Native American medicine men and shamanic dealings with the dead, a fresh look at many of the old ghost-dealing groups, and a new ability for those people who have had enough with wraiths shouting in their ears.

This review is from: *OP Mediums: Speakers with the Dead (Paperback)

This book is well-written and covers a vast scope. Contrary to what the title might lead you to believe, this book covers a lot more than just plain mediums. In fact, it offeres detailed information on just about any faction in the Skinlands that might interact with the Restless Dead: "Boardwalk mediums" found at carnivals and circuses the ruthless Giovanni vampires, even charlatans and frauds who possess no real talent, but manage to offend wraiths with their very presumption and chicanery.

This book is definitely worth the purchase price- it will enrich virtually any Wraith chronicle.
