5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy, with a little bit of Southern flavor., June 13, 2004

This review is from: Windmaster's Bane (Paperback)

I bought this little paperback while I was attending the University of Georgia back in the late 1980s. The book immediately captivated me. It's a mixture of fantasy, with a little bit of southern flavor. The story is about the adventures of young David Sullivan and his friends, all high school students living in a rural area of the Georgia mountains. Not your typical rural teen ager, David's interests tend to focus on legends, myths, and magic. He spends a lot of his time trying to learn as much as he can about the mystical, while at the same time, doing the things that most boys his age do. The adventure begins when David accidentally makes contact with the Sidhe, a people with magical powers who live in some sort of parallel world.

I met Mr. Tom Deitz back in 1987. He was working at the University of Georgia main library at the time. Mr. Deitz was kind enough to sign my copy of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Diamond in the Rough, April 1, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Windmaster's Bane (Paperback)

It's a good thing I met Tom Deitz at a book festival here in Nashville. Otherwise I would have never heard of the David Sullivan series. Windmaster's Bane begins this highly original series. Mixing elements of Irish, Celtic, and Indian mythology, Deitz tells the story of an ordinary young Georgia teen who, through a freak accident, is given "sight" into the realm of the Sidhe, faerie creatures who live in a world which lay parallel to our own. Soon enough, David is forced to enter the realm to save the life of his brother, who has been marked by a Sidhe assassin. If you are tired of endless Tolkien clones and are looking for an original tale of modern fantasy, read this book and the rest in the David Sullivan series

This review is from: Windmaster's Bane: Book One in The Tales of David Sullivan (Deitz, Tom. Tales of David Sullivan) (Paperback)

I knew Tom during the eighties and kept in touch with him off and on over the last twenty years. He was a kind man and a brilliant author. He died too young. He is missed but will still live on in the lives of all those he met and all those who had a chance to read any of his 20 books.
