About Christopher Mangum

Christopher Mangum was born in Oakland, CA in the mid- 1970's to a taxi driver and a deeply literary housewife, and grew up in a home visited regularly by Hell's Angels and Hippies and other wandering souls of all types. A relatively quiet and introverted child, Christopher read voraciously (especially classic Science Fiction and Fantasy) and drew constantly. This was a great blessing, as the garden of his imagination was nurtured by brilliant writers from Tolkein to Anne McCaffrey, Peter S. Beagle to Asimov, Bradbury and Heinlein.

Nowadays, he works as a professional artist and oil painter. He holds a BFA in Illustration from Academy of Art University in San Francisco and his artwork has been exhibited and collected across the United States and by a few collectors in Europe.

The Hedge-Wizard's Commission is his first novel.

He lives in Concord, California with a greedy, self-absorbed chihuahua and a temperamental cat.

the Hedge-Wizard's Commission (the Death-god of Akrahmur Book 1) Apr 17, 2016

In the lands of Akrahmur in the far East, an ancient evil has been building its careful plans for centuries while the kingdoms of men grow weak and diminish. A vast and terrible horde of men and of unnatural creatures prepares to sweep down from the icy mountains into the fertile kingdoms below. On the eve of their destruction, men go on as they always have, oblivious to their doom. Sleepy oxen drag plows across rows of wheat, world-weary farmers whisking long sticks above their great shaggy heads.
And in the Woldenwood forest, far from the great cities of the world, the boy Finnan embarks upon his apprenticeship to a strange and mercurial old Hedge-Wizard.
Finnan has no particular importance to the world. He's not a lost prince or a great warrior. He's only a poor villager who quickly finds that he has very little talent for magic. But in spite of that, he is soon to be swept into the very heart of a war among men, wizards and monsters to determine the fate of all mankind.
If he could only learn a useful spell or two, perhaps he'd have a fighting chance.
