On September 6, 2025 I finished the 84th chapter of my Sorcerer series of books. Unless I write more than planned, the Elsa Trilogy of the series shall be finished after six more chapters.
Three books, each nearly 95,000 words long. A trilogy of 285,000 words about a Nazi Sorcerer and his apprentice, his teenage daughter.
I am a prolific writer of fiction. I illustrate the covers and create the title fonts. The Sorcerer series may be my best work yet. Its title character is the villain and commits the most atrocious acts of villainy… yet he is the hero. The actual heroes are not vilified to make him seem righteous. On the contrary: Unlike him, they are unquestionably moral.
The setting is an alternate 1930s as the modern day. The continents are named after the sons of Noah. The Confederacy won the War Between the States and is the thriving Empire of the Golden Circle.
The fiction is a love story. A man and woman are estranged. Their daughter is in love with the man… and jealous that her father is still in love with her mother.
A strong distinction is made between magical and psychic powers. They are described by the Sorcerer as the difference between a sailboat and a motorboat. His magic is empowered by “catching the wind” whereas the telekinesis of the heroine is “empowered from within.” The magician is ultimately more powerful than the psychic, because he channels and directs rather than generates.
The Sorcerer series is military science fiction as dystopian alternate history. Should you ever read it, you are sure to be confused at first. You are sure to squirm. Endure to the end and you shall be pleasantly surprised, however.
