Joseph Brassey has lived on both sides of the continental US, and has worked as a craft-store employee, paper-boy, factory worker, hospital kitchen gopher, martial arts instructor, singer, and stay-at-home Dad (the last is his favorite job, by far). Joseph was enlisted as a robotic word-machine in 47North's Mongoliad series, and still trains in - and teaches - Liechtenauer's Kunst des Fechtens in his native Tacoma. Skyfarer is his first solo novel. <p/>jabrassey.tumblr.comtwitter.com/josephbrassey <p/>Author hometown: Tacoma, Washington USA
One of those remarkable books that consists entirely of 'the good parts.' Nonstop fun with unexpected moments of real pathos. - Neal Stephenson PRAISE FOR THE MONGOLIAD This story is pure adventure, with much swordplay and swashbuckling. - Kirkus Reviews A terrifically engaging book that pulled me along at least as quickly as The Hunger Games. Think Lord of the Rings without all that pesky fantasy... five frighteningly accurate historical sword fights out of five. - Fanboy Comics
