Another
Stupid Trilogy is a first person high fantasy series, the likes of
which hasn't been seen in 60 years. The tone and vocabulary of the tale shifts as our
narrator, Sorch the orc, finds ways to enhance his intelligence. You get to grow as
Sorch grows, learn as he learns, and share his most intimate thoughts.
Sorch is an orc mage in a world where orcs are cursed with stupidity
every time they cast a spell. While foraging for food one fateful night, our hero
happens upon two human mages who are in big trouble. He saves their lives, and in return they give him an amulet
that will make his life easier. Unbeknownst to the humans, their gift grants
Sorch the power to break the cycle of intelligence drain and physical abuse. With the help of his friend and mentor,
Shaman, Sorch becomes a real mage.
Sorch leaves his swamp and embarks on a series of incredibly exciting and dangerous adventures. During his travels he encounters horrible injury, magical treasures, love, snow, university admissions tests, a plot against the Kingdom, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he?
Another Stupid Spell is available exclusively on Amazon. You can read it on just about any PC, Mac, phone, tablet, or E-book reader by downloading the free Kindle E-book reader (U.S., U.K., Canada) and adding Another Stupid Spell to your library.
Sorch is a former orc mage, and the prisoner of a demon worshiping cult
that is trying to steal his nightmares. One jailbreak later and Sorch
is unleashed upon the world once again. But this time, he's not so sure that he wants to go back to a life of magic and adventure.
Being the smartest orc on all of Panos wasn't all fun and games.
With the help of a new friend, Sorch rediscovers his purpose in life. He embarks on a quest to save his friends, who were trapped on another plane of existence. During his travels he encounters more horrible injury, more magical treasures, casual love, university midterms, a plot against Panos, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he?
Another Stupid Demon is available exclusively on Amazon. You can read it on just about any PC, Mac, phone, tablet, or E-book reader by downloading the free Kindle E-book reader (U.S., U.K., Canada) and adding Another Stupid Demon to your library.
After destroying the possessed Voodoo Engine that threatened to enslave his tribe and start the next Great War, Sorch took some much needed time away from the peril of
adventure. In the two years that followed, Sorch finished his arcane education
and learned to be a real father to his recently discovered son, Benno. But the
world wasn't done with Sorch and his family just yet. Drought, flooding, and deadly creatures driven up from the depths of the earth itself threatened to destroy cities and towns all over the
world. It would take the two smartest orcs on Panos, and all of their brave friends, to discover the
forces that threatened to tear the planet apart.
In a race against time, Sorch is forced to lead his family into unparalleled danger. During his travels he encounters even more horrible injury, even more magical treasures, yetis, the power of fatherhood, frightening school children, an ancient threat to all of Panos, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he?
Another Stupid Apocalypse is available exclusively on Amazon. You can read it on just about any PC, Mac, phone, tablet, or E-book reader by downloading the free Kindle E-book reader (U.S., U.K., Canada) and adding Another Stupid Apocalypse to your library.
