The Reluctant Barbarian

by John Haas

Overview

Arthur Jenkins would have been happy to live his life the way it was until he finally died, but the angel in his office has different ideas. He's there to grant a wish Arthur made as a kid, and it's a doozy. It's also a wish he doesn't want in the slightest. After all, what grown man would want to be a barbarian hero? Seriously! Whether he wants it or not, Arthur is getting that wish granted. Angels have quotas too, you know. Join Arthur, Dead Mike and Valeria the Paladin on a quest across the land, having unwanted adventures while looking for a comfy place to sit.

"Brilliantly funny! John Haas shows it's way more adventurous and quite hilarious when we're not careful what we wish for." Cait Gordon, author of Life in the 'Cosm

About the Author

John Haas was born and raised in Montreal before moving to Calgary where he lived for twelve wonderful years. Now he is in the nation’s capital but still misses seeing those Rockies in the distance.

John has been writing since childhood but only became serious about it since having children himself (he wanted his kids to have something interesting to say when asked what their father does). Since becoming serious he has had many short stories published in various excellent publications, written one children’s book with a friend, had his first book, The Reluctant Barbarian, published by Renaissance Press, and won 3rd place in Writers of the Future 35 (4th quarter). His goal is to become a full time writer (rich and famous would be nice too but not necessary).

He lives in Ottawa with his two wonderful sons, Jack and Oliver, who give him lots of motivation and encouragement.
