Half Sword captivated me with its rich historical detail and fantasy elements. Can't wait for Rogue Wind!

Emily Johnson
A person dressed in medieval-style clothing holds a sword in a dramatic pose. The background features a historic stone building with towering spires, reminiscent of a castle or cathedral. The sky is clear, giving a serene yet intense atmosphere.

The action in Maug and Baal is thrilling! Co-authoring with David Wood brought a unique flair to the adventure.

A person dressed in medieval-style clothing holds a sword while leaning against a stone wall beside a window with a metal grid design. The setting appears to be vintage, with the attire consisting of a cloak, a buttoned garment, and loose-fitting pants.

Christopher Matson writes historical fantasy under his full name, and action adventure as C.B. Matson. He has survived former incarnations that include mining geologist, commercial fisherman, civil engineer, mess-hall cook, surveyor, and international port consultant. He lived much of his life in Colorado, California and Virginia, but he has also spent considerable time in Moscow, Bogota, Nagasaki and Dakar. When he is not writing, he enjoys walking, tinkering, and "... simply messing about in boats." C.B. Matson and his wife live on the water in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
