Galendor: Ye Dude from Yonder Forest

Fantastic creatures vanish and once-caring people turn to fear and mistrust as a mundane alternate reality replaces their enchanted one.

In the Kingdom of Yorh, magic is fading.

Even the king has fallen into a state of funk so deep that no bard, jester, or wizard can restore his spirits. Desperate to save her father, the most excellent Princess Jessica decrees to marry any man who can entertain him and lift his curse.

Galendor dreams of becoming a legendary bard, but his unique style has earned him more ridicule than applause. Despite this, Musical Magician Lord Bill chooses Galendor to recruit three musicians to perform a concert that could cure the king — and perhaps save Yorh itself.

Accompanied by his loyal dog-like companion, Sir Wicket of Narfingham, and the enchanted Li’l Red Wagon, Galendor must complete his quest before boring old normalcy consumes the realm forever.

Re-release starting in 2026

I created Galendor in 1989 and developed his story in my head until writing it all down and seeking publishing in 2014.  With a first draft of well over 100,000 words, my publisher, Wee Creek Press, encouraged me to split the story into two books.

These became "Galendor: Ye Dude from Yonder Forest" and "Galendor: The Five Mugical Items." I intentionally wove bits and pieces throughout the original story to eventually become another book.  Wee Creek Press requested that third book, and so "Galendor: The Middle of Next Week" came to fruition.

A Long Journey

Wee Creek Press closed in December of 2021 due to struggles with covid and their CEO's declining Parkinson's disease. 

Once my rights were reverted, I began recording the fully voice-acted audiobook versions.  It took over a year to edit and engineer the tracks together for JUST book one alone!

All formats of book one will be available in 2026.  The plan is to finish the audiobook for each novel before publishing them.
