I am Doug Smith, a current . I have a PhD in the sciences, and I used to inhabit both the corporate world and academia. But I tired of both, including all the tedious nonfiction writing that went with each environment.
Luckily, when I lived in the Netherlands, I learned something of its culture and history. In Woerden, I walked the same streets and open market area (kerkplein) where the Roman garrison sat on the Oude Rijn river. A ghost rose from the cobblestones one snowy night and whispered a story...The ghost traveled with me around the world and these books gained life.
I began combining the ancient and contemporary worlds of Europe plus the Appalachian culture of my recent ancestors, creating an inner space full of twists, turns, monsters, and the fine line between magic and science, good and evil, right and wrong. All blended into a melting pot of fantasy, science fiction, and warped imagination.
If you made it this far, consider yourself infected with the Fisher of Time.
