Sartorias-deles: Modern (Rise of the Alliance Arc)

A lot of these I wrote when a teen, about teens on their own, grappling with all kinds of stuff while adventuring, many feeling estranged from the world. (None more than Detlev's boys.)

I have hardcover copies of most of my books and trade paperback copies of all, which I am happy to sign and send for 25 bucks apiece (includes postage) hardcover, 15 for paperback, but only continental USA while postage costs are so insane. A real bargain for the ones I paid more than ten bucks to have printed! PayPal me @ sherwood@sherwoodsmith.net, with an address to send the signed book, and if you want it personalized, the name, and I'll do my best to get it in the mail within three to five days of receipt.
