Randy Lindsay

Pounce and the Riddle of Fire was so much fun to write that I've decided to turn it into a series. I'm working on a prequel called Pounce and the Action-Filled Adventure of Burning Lake. It will be offered as a perma-free e-book and I think that fans of my Battlemental stories will really like it.

Biography

Randy Lindsay is a world crafter. He is constantly creating new story worlds full of strange and interesting creatures. Each one of these original environments offers thousands of possible stories. Randy hopes to one day clone himself so he can write all of those stories, but realizes that would only result in more story worlds and still not enough time to write all about them.

Randy lives in Mesa, Arizona with his wife, four of his nine children, and a cat named Ollie. He writes full time and takes an occasional break to interact with the real world. You can find out more about him at http://www.ranthestoryman.com/.
