Magician's Loss

D. Bruce Cotton grew up in a small rural town in central Kentucky. A certified bibliophile, when he wasn’t digging through the local store’s latest delivery of comic books, you could usually find him camped out in a corner of the town library, avidly reading the literary masters: Isaac Asimov, Edgar Rice Burroughs and J.R.R. Tolkien. After graduating from college with a somewhat useless degree in English, he went to work for Uncle Sam, serving as a statistical clerk at a nerve gas laboratory, a public affairs specialist at a tank depot, and for 28 years as a writer and editor for PS Magazine, an Army comic book designed to teach Soldiers how to care for their equipment. Now retired, Bruce lives in Cold Spring, KY, with his wife, Cindy, and Gracie, their 6-year-old standard poodle. He’s the author of seven books in the epic Dark Mage fantasy series: Magician's Dawn (a series prequel), Magician’s Heir, Magician’s Return, Magician’s Quest, Magician’s Loss, Magician's War, and Magician's Genesis.
