An exciting adventure full of wanderlust and action. Available in eBook and paperback!

Curiosity killed the cat. Or so the saying goes ... all Klane can hope is that curiosity doesn't also kill gnomes.

Klane is an uncharacteristically adventurous gnome, who's been smitten with the urge to explore places of the world few people--let alone hill gnomes--would dare to go. Since he was able, he has sailed down the Amethyst River and her many distributaries to satisfy his wanderlust. When Klane finds himself in the bowels of an abandoned mine holding a valuable stone and a dead miner's journal, he knows his days of lighthearted adventure are over.

Praise for The Journal and The Stone


​From the first few chapters, I was hooked on the characters and the skill the author has for world building. Both are absolutely necessary for a good fantasy novel. As I continued reading, the pace of the book kept up, which was a relief. Also, there was a distinct beginning, middle and ending, with few subplots.

That being said, I recommend this book to anyone looking for an adventure book with phenomenal world building and unpredictable plot twists.
Captivating and intelligently written. I reached the end of this story desperate for more!
