Snippets From Maldene: The Preface
Mark Anthony Tierno here with another Snippet from Maldene. Every story has its start; that introductory text that sets everything up without actually revealing what’s going on.

Snippets From Maldene: Candol The Preacher
Mark Anthony Tierno here with another Snippet from Maldene. Candol is a coin-flipping priest of “the All-Mighty Indra”.

Someone’s shouting about being …

Snippets From Maldene– The Dragon
All good fantasy epics have at least one dragon, and Maldene no exception by far. There’s actually a whole bunch of them, but that’s getting way ahead of myself. The attached scene is the first time we see a dragon; just a little guy about 300 feet long. Well, little only when compared to what …

Maldene- The Way It Was Meant to Be- In Time For Xmas
Okay, so a long winded post title, but there’s a reason for that. If you’ve been poking around here enough, you probably realize that I wrote the first Maldene novel to be as a single volume, not two. Well, that goes back to dealing with a certain former publisher who had me divide it, even …
