Author Notes

'At the age of 19 Stephen decided he would like to write an epic similar to The Lord of the Rings . The 'spaghetti Westerns' of that time [specifically The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ] and a poem written by Robert Browning, 'Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came', became the inspiration for his magnum opus. The series written and published separately over a period of 22 years consists of seven books and the short story, 'The Little Sisters of Eluria' published in his short story collection, EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL.'
