Don’t Look at Me!

DON’T LOOK AT ME!

A close-up selfie of a middle-aged man with a crazy mustache and a wild look in his eyes.

No one really knows where Roberto Calas came from. He was found on an island in Long Island Sound—or as he calls it, “The Sound of Connecticut”—wearing nothing but a My Little Pony pool float and a raven-feather crown. Around him sat hundreds of seabirds, all facing him as though he were their divinely appointed king. He sat in the shadow of the Island’s lighthouse, babbling quietly, repeating four words over and again: “Am I not merciful?”
Since his arrival to the mainland, Roberto has written three fantasy novels, three historical fantasy novels, a novella, and a multitude of short stories. He is a Knight of the Oxford Comma, a son of Buddha and a dreamer of madness.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

God has forsaken this land.

A mysterious plague descends upon 14th century England, ravaging the country and trapping the souls of the afflicted in eternal madness. The feudal hierarchy--and even the church itself-- slowly crumbles as the dead rise to feed and the living seek whatever shelter they can. The bishops of England call for calm and obedience, but one man isn’t listening.

Sir Edward of Bodiam has been separated from the woman he loves and nothing on heaven or earth can stop him from seeking her out.

Edward and two of his knights travel through the swiftly changing landscape of England, a countryside now overrun by the minions of hell. The knights encounter madness, violence, and sorrow, but Edward fights his way ever deeper into the thickening darkness of unholy terror.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

The journey north ended with The Scourge.
The journey for a cure has just begun…

Sir Edward Dallingridge survived his journey through the anarchy that is now England, leaving in his wake the bodies of mad lords, foul invaders, friends, and the risen dead. There was nothing on earth that could keep him from the woman he loves.

Nothing but the horror that has already consumed her.

His journey is over, but his mission is far from complete. As a knight of the realm, he has defended England from every enemy it has. But how does one drive away a plague sent from hell? His only hope lies in the rumors of a cure–a treatment concocted by a strange man on an island fortress. Edward will do everything in his power to find this alchemist and to bring Elizabeth back from the walking terror she has become.

The Scourge: Nostrum is the follow-up to The Scourge, continuing the harrowing quest of Sir Edward in a world that knows no God, no laws, and no hope.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

The last mile is always the longest.

The Scourge: Emaculum is the haunting conclusion to the Scourge trilogy. Sir Edward Dallingridge’s wife, the Lady Elizabeth, waits, once more, in St. Edmund’s Abbey. And to reach her, Edward must battle a king and save a queen, break an oath and make another. He must destroy a legion of demons and take up God’s banner as two armies threaten to tear England apart.

The Red Plague that has swept England continues to burn through the populace, and the feudal hierarchy collapses. With every life he takes, Edward’s soul blackens a shade, and only his lost love can save him from his sins. But he must reach her first. And his greatest enemies are not the savage plaguers wandering the villages of his kingdom, but the men and women who have avoided the affliction.

Where is King Richard?
Where are England’s armies?
Can the Red Plague be cured?

Edward will unravel each of these mysteries . . . but the answers may not please him.

An open, old, weathered book with handwritten text, a blue feather quill resting on it, a lit white candle, and a few fallen brown leaves on a wooden surface.
