As some of you probably know, I am a published fantasy writer. And by published, I mean in print with a publishing house, no internet stories, no self publishing…
I started writing seriously in 2001 which is quite a long way back and my short stories are mostly published in anthologies. My major genres seem to be fantasy/urban fantasy, horror/noir and sci-fi (in this order), even though I do not hate the idea of occasionaly writing something completely different. My writing language is Czech, but I will be translating some of my more succesfull stories into English sometime this year (means 2009) with the hope that I can publish them.
Also my first urban fantasy book “Kiseki” is now finished and almost ready to be sent to a publishing house (an already somehow interested publishing house, haha) and will be followed by “Laidra”, my high-fantasy vampire warlord saga that I left unfinished for a while to thing about some parts and rewrite them.
My next books should be “A number of dogs”, an urban/war fantasy about a special unit members bred in WW2 Nazi “Lebensborn” project and then abandoned at the end of the war, and “Iria” a slightly twisted high fantasy about a desperate young princess-sacrifice and a vengeful lich warlord teaming up to save what is left of the world and their lives.

Dear Candar -
I think your website is terrific. I am a Professor of Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand. I am currently writing a textbook for Plural Publishing that is scheduled to be published in early 2010. The book is entitled, “INTRO: A beginner’s guide to communication sciences and disorders”. The book is geared toward freshman/sophomore students who will eventually become speech-language pathologists. One of the chapters covers genetic/chromosomal conditions that may contribute to a communication disorder. I have a small section of the chapter dedicated to Crouzons. I would be happy to share a draft of this chapter with you. In addition, I think it would be terrific to include a photo (or two) of your simply amazing surgeries. Would you mind contacting me and we can discuss this possibility? Best wishes…Mike
