Stephen L. Rolston has been an enthusiastic reader of Fantasy since first reading the Lord of the Rings when he was ten years old. He played Dungeons and Dragons when it was first released. He loves inventing and telling stories to his children and now his grandchildren. He has been in software consulting for over forty years and has traveled around the world including Tokyo. Many of the aspects of this story come from his direct experiences. Not the magic yet, unfortunately, but perhaps there is still time. Stephen lives and works with software in Texas and writes when he can. More is to come.
