Overview

     Firion is a young merchant descended from generations of merchants. His first big break comes along when he sets out to trade with the wealthy dwarven kingdom of Oria. He has always dreamed of visiting this grand kingdom, having heard his father describe it in detail a hundred times while he was younger. But when Firion arrives in Oria, he is jarred by the details present that contradict with the image etched into his mind.

     Something dark and sinister seems to be afoot in Oria, but Firion knows he is no hero. He is just a simple merchant, and what can an ordinary person do in the face of danger and deception?

     A Merchant in Oria, the feature tale in this collection, follows a reluctant hero as he gets swept upon a journey he didn't seek. That and more can be found within these pages. Thirteen tales, each unique - sharing the bond of author. Rooted in science fiction and fantasy, with several tales paying homage to Arthurian legend and Medieval roots, the stories you will read are as varied as the interests of the author.

About the Author

My name is David Wiley and I love to read and write. Growing up I always could be found with my nose in a book, graduating from Dr. Seuss to Goosebumps to Redwall, and then into the broad realms of Science Fiction and Fantasy. As they years have progressed I have discovered a love, in particular, for the works of Tolkien and for Medieval Literature such as Beowulf. Books will undoubtedly remain a piece of who I am until the day I die.

Writing, on the other hand, has an on-again, off-again relationship with me. I go through streaks of intensive writing and thoroughly enjoy those times. I go through equally-intensive stretches where I struggle to string together a few paragraphs because my interest gets pulled in other directions. But, like Tolkien, I am a sub-creator at heart and love to tell stories and imagine characters and worlds and my hope remains that, one day, something I write will capture the imagination of a reader and transport them to a world they have fallen in love with.
