Hi. I'm Johne with the silent vanity 'e'.

Shiny Things!

This is how far along I am in writing the trilogy.

THE BLUE GOLEM

THE BLACK SERPENT

THE RED SWORD

Keep up with the golems! It will only take one click!

FREE GOLEM NEWSLETTER!

The newsletter is free, infrequent, and will contain exclusive content you can’t get anywhere else.

THE BLUE GOLEM

In which our hero awakens in the body of an 7 foot tall monster without any idea of who he used to be nor how he got there.

Clay Golem becomes a P.I. and fights the evil Archmage Melchior for the soul of a fantasy world where magic is real and evil is on the prowl.

Think THE MALTESE FLACON where Humphrey Bogart is an 7 foot tall golem and you’re on the right track.

THE BLACK SERPENT

Clay takes on the case of a phantom debt ring where his investigations uncovers corruption that extends the length and breadth of the kingdom.

Only a daring gambit stands a chance to unravel the identity of the shadowy figure controlling the thirteen crime families who run the country from the shadows and save the innocent from destruction.

THE RED SWORD

The people of Alysia have a long history with golems run amok but Clay has proven himself as a protector to the city and its citizens.

Until it appears that Clay himself has run amok and the people recoil in horror as their worst fears appear to be coming true right in front of their eyes…
