We sent him all our The third book, Spirit of Fire, in Stephen's epic fantasy Fires in Eden series released May 30, 2012. Fans of fantasy need to check out this series because not only do you get a great story, the books include beautiful illustrations by artist Matthew Perry. This is one of the things that sets Stephen's publisher Seventh Star Press apart from others; stunning artwork as part of the books.

| okay, so maybe Baaart isn't in the Fires of Eden series... |
Check out the video interview...he got to read the questions ahead of time but the rapid fire he was told not to look at till he was filming. Plus we sent him some props and it will be interesting to see what he does with them...Baaart makes an appearance in the beginning and end.
A maelstrom of war engulfs the lands resisting the designs of the Unifier to bring about a new order, of a kind that has never existed within Ave. Battered by a massive invasion force from Gallea, the tribal people of the Five Realms and their Midragardan allies are being driven eastward, towards the sea, while the Saxan lines are wearing down ever thinner on the Plains of Athelney. Time is running out quickly, as an ancient creature of legend soars through the skies with a brave young Saxan. They carry the desperate hopes of two realms sorely beset by a voracious enemy. Diabolic entities conduct a great hunt, as a malignant darkness deepens across all of Ave. The exiles from another world must gain refuge, or find themselves ensnared by the long reach of the Unifier. The very nature of creation itself stands in the balance. It is a time when the honor and fortitude of many are put to the test, and terrible prices are paid for resisting great evils. It is also a time of awakening for many, old and young alike, some of whom may yet discover the spirit of fire that lies within. The third installment in the Fires in Eden series, Spirit of Fire is richly imagined epic fantasy with a diverse ensemble of characters that offers a new world to explore for the readers who enjoy large-scale tales along the likes of George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson, Steven Erikson, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
