The modern book market is a fickle thing, and no one has a handle on all its changes yet. My publisher, Castalia House wisely decided to re-publish the Dragon Award winning Best Novel for 2016 SOMEWHITHER in a new multivolume format. The first volume is out now:
SOMEWHITHER: DOOR INTO NOWHERE

Ilya Muromets is an oversized young man whose father is often absent on mysterious Church missionary work that involves silver bullets, sacred lances, and black helicopters. Ilya works as a janitor for Professor Achitophel Dreadful of the Cryptozoological Museum of Scientific Curiosities, who warns Ilya of an unthinkably powerful enemy determined to rule the many worlds of the multiverse. And, as it happens, the Professor has left his transdimensional equipment in the basement of the Museum plugged-in and running….
