Welcome

Welcome to the online home of fantasy author Stuart A. Etter, where you can follow his progress on current projects, get a peek at what's coming, and explore the worlds and characters in his novels.

Echoes of Truth is the first volume in the epic fantasy series Cycle of Truth, Memory, and Myth. After undergoing a complete overhaul, the first draft has been completed, much to the author's joy and relief. Once the rewrite is finished, he will begin the agent query process, the next step in seeing Echoes appear in a bookstore near you. The prologue is available now in the Samples area. I hope you enjoy the ominous beginning to this exciting tale of mystery and intrigue.

While that project seeks representation, the next story in development will finally get the attention it's been demanding. A historical-fantasy adventure set in Renaissance Italy, The Condotierre will be the first in a series of stand-alone stories set in the turbulent 15th century where ancient knowledge is being rediscovered amidst the treacherous political environment that inspired Machiavelli's The Prince. What will the new knowledge bring and how will it shift the delicate balance between the Italian city states?

As well as exploring this new site, be sure to visit his blog, where he posts regular writing updates, thoughts, and mostly insightful rambles.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon to see how the future is developing.
