Overview

Roxanne has walked the Prime Material World for seventy-seven years. By magic and by favor, she still carries the face of a woman of twenty-eight - but behind those eyes lives a lifetime of power, devotion, and longing. There is one she has never met. One whose presence has shaped every step of her journey from ordinary girl to Grand Matriarch of Hades. Her name is Hysteraniax. An ancient Night Hag. A mentor who has guided from the shadows of the underworld without ever once being seen. Their meeting waits in the Fires of Gehenna. For Roxanne, it is not a confrontation. It is not a trial. It is the union of two souls who have always belonged to the same darkness - and the moment an extraordinary life finally becomes complete. Roxanne II is a first-person high fantasy epic and the sixth installment in the Genoivieve Series. Book Six of the Genoivieve Series.

Author Information

The inspiration for this writing journey began in sunny, southern British Columbia 45 years ago. As a classical, pencil-and-paper Dungeon Master forever in demand, my D&D game continues in Japan with new player characters eager to improvise and develop their own stories. New players are millennials who add a real freshness to D&D with their inclination towards modern society themes and the use of contemporary language. Together with our 1980s-era, old-school, Canadian players championing this effort, all kinds of amazing adventures playing out over the years have found their way into these books. I hope you'll have as much fun with Genoivieve, Roxanne, Ulmaetor and Numencrön as I have had, developing many characters and writing about the world through their experiences. No AI is ever used in the written word or in my hand-drawn maps. Only character images are personal photographs enhanced by AI image creation software. These simultaneous stories happen in a setting where women and minorities are generally suppressed, but blatant misogyny, racism and homophobia are not widespread prejudices. In particular, as I applaud women for generally reading more, Genoivieve makes a case for an increased female readership in a genre that has historically been male-oriented. The content of these contemporary high fantasies is inspired by JRR Tolkien, Gary Gygax, RA Salvatore, Robert E Howard and dollops of Franz Kafka and Charles Dickens, so if you're familiar with the celebrated masterpieces from any of these ground-breaking authors, we already have something in common. Eternal gratitude goes to all my veteran players for their suggestions and support, and to my darling soulmate Yoko, without whom the endless nights spent proofreading might have been overwhelming! Apart from writing and conducting my RPG, I operate an English school in Japan. I'm an avid vintage record collecter of various genres and play music every day, often loud! Yoko and I love traveling to the Mediterranean region to inspect classical historical monuments. Other major hobby passions include visual astronomy, freediving and photography. I can really get mired into anything involving optics. Although age and the Pandemic have naturally caused skills to decline, the silver lining is that I have more time to write! Therefore stay tuned! With My Very Best Wishes and Sincere Thanks, MARTIN WERNER ZANDER
