Garon Whited was supposedly born in 1970, but the original birth certificate is suspiciously unavailable and other records do not agree. After spending some years in college playing role-playing games, he finally settled down into a steady job working with computers—and still plays role-playing games. He finally joined a radicalized group of jellyfish-herding nomads. Having fought zombie dolphins, quasi-corporeal wine and spirits, as well as brain-sucking mole rats, he is uniquely qualified to write fantastic fiction.

Why oh master of cliffhangers do you torment us so? You know we will buy your next book without it yes? Love your work by the way wanted to say some choice expletives after I finished the second book but other than that yes love the series.

The narrator (Eric) is telling a story, writing in his mental diary, all that. He needs a good reason to stop.

Garon Whited answered Jason Miers's question: This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler) All the prologues and epilogues are from the later perspective. That's why they stop after the incident with the gate in Tamaril.

“Politics. From the Latin poly, meaning many, and tics, meaning blood-sucking parasites. That may be incorrect, but it’s not wrong.”
