A king ruling his nation with wisdom and compassion but unable to overcome his own heart…
A princess forbidden to all men but one chosen by her patron goddess…
Earth and Sky rebel at a chaotic whim and human blood is set as the price for salvation…
Welcome to the Thermodon Nations!
Sex and Chaos–The Curse is the first book of a trilogy nearly twenty years in the making. I began writing the first pieces of what would become this trilogy back in 1995, when I was a graduate student and needed a place to keep my thoughts apart from the rote routine of academia. The story has seen several versions and has given me many tales to share, stories from outside the narrative itself. How did any of this ever come to be, anyway?
Every time the circumstances seemed right to begin my assault of publishing houses, something new came hurling at me from out of nowhere, often in the form of a shorter and more timely project. But the Thermodon folks never left me. All of them let me know that they needed to be told. Someday, I knew, I would do right by them and share them with the world in the best possible manner. Originally I was planning on a very long, single volume. How the idea that the story could be broken up–and fairly naturally–into three separate books was a revolution in my own thinking. Once that idea took hold in my mind, creating a trilogy happened naturally, as if this was the way that would have worked best all along.
