This collection of short stories contains some tales never before published as well as some which were the kernels from which the popular Hit Series developed. Included in this volume are tales of SciFi and historical fiction. This illustrated volume is the Large Print edition. A smaller format version is planned for release during 2013. A Large Print, Illustrated Version of the first tale of the Tales of Middleworld series, Arial, Shieldmaiden of Middleworld, was released in early 2013. The first chapter of Arial, Shieldmaiden of Middleworld was published in 2011 by Medieval Magazine as a short story under the title, The Pledge. That first episode is included as a bonus at the end of Shiring Bright. The first of the Dr. Pendergast, murder mystery series, Brand of Death is scheduled for release in early April.
