On the world Gramarye, superstition wasn't just a fact, it was a way of life. The Romantic Emigrés of Earth had developed a unique society, bred especially for the gracious qualities of espers. And these talented espers took the wonderous shapes of elves, dwarves, witches, werewolves, ghosts, and other underground creatures.

It was square Rid Gallowglass' mission to save the Gramatyans from themselves (?) or others (aliens?). His only help in this epic undertaking was his epileptic computer-brained robot-horse, Fess.

Oh, and one other helpful thing: the Gramaryans were sure he was a warlock. Of course, he was sure he wasn't... wasn't he?

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
