A world of fantasy, science fiction, and magical realism
Welcome to the homepage of Douglas P. Smith, fantasy and science fiction author
Enter a world of fantasy where the past isn't what we thought and the future isn't what we imagine. Enjoy both the action and humor of the stories spread over centuries of the past, present, and future set in locations across the world.
Follow Senecus, an unlikely hero on his journey from a melancholy, solitary immortal to reluctant leader of a new people. Unlikely allies, including humans, fae, legendary characters, and old gods gather to battle vampires, old gods, creatures thought to be myths, and an evil regime from the future. From Amsterdam to Appalachia, adventures are met with humor and trials met with resolve and hope, regardless of the darkness
