About the Author:

Tom Deitz grew up in Young Harris, Georgia, and earned bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from the University of Georgia. His major in medieval English (it was as close as he could get to Tolkien) and his fondness for castles, Celtic art and costumes led Mr. Deitz to the Society for Creative Anachronism, of which he is still a member. A fair-to-middlin artist, Mr. Deitz is also a car nut, has recently taken up horseback riding and hunting, (neither with remarkable success), and still thinks every now and then about building a castle.

Review:

Vivid descriptions of Sidhe cruelty and strange shape-changing beasts, and it transmits a strong sense of the dread engendered by following the Crimson Road leading to, and perhaps away from, death. Publishers Weekly --Publishers Weekly

Dietz writes with his usual intelligence, imagination, and skillful use of a regional setting. --Booklist
