A VERY
HAIRY PROBLEM

Travel-weary wizard Kedrigern is off on another business trip. It seems King Ithian of Othion has a hairy problem indeed - his daughter Berzel keeps turning into a wolf whenever there's a full moon. And a silver bullet is simply out of the question.

Kedrigern must find a cure - before the next full moon. Meanwhile, his lovely wife Princess and the spoiled Berzel, who is getting furrier by the minute, are dodging ogres, hungry witches, evil jesters and a giant chess game... played to the death!

It's enough to make anyone howl.

Praise for the KEDRIGERN books:
"Enjoyable... fun... Kedrigern is an adequately crusty protagonist and his house troll, Spot, is a delight."
- FANTASY REVIEW

"Quite funny!"
- STARLOG

"Four stars."

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
