David Sullivan, a north Georgia teenager, reads about
the gods of Irish myth and enjoys fantasies drawn from these stories. When a chance encounter with a funeral procession –
viewed from an eccentric angle – gifts him with Second Sight, however, the reality of the world of Faerie proves as
dangerous as it is fantastic. When David’s brother is stolen and his beloved uncle felled by faerie magic, David enlists
friends Alec McLean and Liz Hughes as companions on the quest to save their lives.
The first of the series: Tales of David Sullivan, Windmaster’s Bane was originally published
in 1986 as an Avon paperback. This collector’s edition has been updated and re-written lightly by the author, but retains
the charm and energy of the original. The new cover is from a painting by Val and Ron Lindahn, whose images have graced work
by Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, magazines and movies. The Lindahns currently serve as judges in the L Ron Hubbard Illustrators
of the future contest.
TOM DEITZ grew up in Young Harris, Georgia, and earned bachelor and master of arts degrees from
the University of Georgia. His major in medieval English and his fondness for castles, Celtic art and costumes led Mr. Deitz
to the Society for Creative Anachronism, of which he is still a member. He terms himself a “fair-to-middlin” artist.
His books reflect his knowledge of Celtic lore and a tenuous grounding in current reality.
He calls himself a "fair-to-middlin'" artist, but readers can judge for themelves as his illustrations
enliven the part pages of the new edition of Windmasters Bane.
