Return to Sandahl: A compendium of short stories set in the town of Sandahl, in the Lands of Methanasia, on the World of Pearl (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781493595549)

C. Lee Brown, creator of Pearl, Methanasia and Tales of the Bard, is a lover of all different sorts of secrets, myths, legends, and adventures. He was an avid reader and especially enjoyed science fiction. Born in Southern Illinois, he was an only child. His father worked in the mines and his mother was a seamstress. As a teen, Lee loved to explore a local place called Cave Hill and was always excited to see the stalactites, stalagmites, and tunnels. This inspired his interest in the exploits of characters in fantasy novels. Lee had three children from his first marriage and is a proud grandfather of seven. A military veteran with over twenty years work in intelligence and a world traveler, he now resides just south of Savannah, Georgia. Lee worked in Law Enforcement as a Police Captain for several years after retiring from the Army; then went on to work for the Georgia Department of Labor as a Local Veterans Employment Representative, LVER, for over fourteen years. He was a certified master instructor while in Army Security Agency and built on those skills as a TAP facilitator for military exiting the services at Fort Stewart and Kings Bay Naval Base. An active veteran, he co-founded a local American Legion Post in the late 90's as the first post commander and also published documentaries as the historian. He's also a member of the VFW, Elks and local historical society. Twice retired, he now spends most of his time painting and writing. His first fantasy novel, Cable Hornman: The Bard Begins, was set in the faraway world of Pearl in the future. It artfully blends a science fiction premise and high fantasy where the colonized planet of Pearl has its population decimated. The world is thrown into an ice age and emerges as a medieval land where magic is possible. A continent called Methanasia is the primary realm for most of the stories. As an editor, Brown's first anthology is A Visitor to Sandahl. It incorporates the same fantasy world of Pearl and sets the short stories in a centrally located town called Sandahl. Brown's next anthology is titled Return to Sandahl. He and six other writers produced eight fresh stories in the same realm. If you enjoy high fantasy, C. Lee Brown writes stories and collects tales from other authors to magically enthrall and entertain you. If you ask him why he writes, he will say he does it for his family and friends.
