The Herald of Autumn (Echoes of the Untold Age Book 1) (13 page)

About the Author

JM Guillen was a normal, mild mannered Midwesterner
until he achieved his lifelong dream of being a full-time writer in the summer
of 2011. When one of his stories, The Herald of Autumn, was nominated for a
Nebula Award, it was the final straw for his mundanity.

He immediately went mad with a miniscule,
insignificant amount of power.

Soon he was declaring himself to be “exempt from the
laws of men, regarding pants,” and conducting mad experiments regarding human
tolerance for rum. In between attempts at taking over Strafford, Missouri, he
also dabbles in weird fiction. Besides science fiction, fantasy, and horror, he
is best known for implementing schemes, plots, and ploys.

Today, the self-described supervillain spends his days
scribing The Paean of Sundered Dreams, a cycle of series that all blend and
interweave. This is his greatest scheme yet, as discovering the myriad
connections between these worlds tend to drive his readers mad.

This
is a work of wonderful fiction. All the characters and events portrayed in this
book are fictional, and any resemblance to real people or incidents is purely
coincidental.

Except
when not.
