Sitting at the base of the gravestone, forming a tiny splash of summer colour in the descending dark, was a discreet pile of berries.

And one acorn.

The end.

George Norman Lippert made a name for himself by writing fan fiction.  His first book, “James Potter and the Hall of Elders’ Crossing”, was written in a bout of Post-Potter Depression after the release of the final Harry Potter book.  Released online, JPHEC garnered a surprisingly large worldwide readership and attracted the attention of both Warner Bros. and J. K. Rowling (this when both parties were asked by the media if they were secretly responsible for it.)  The following sequels, “Gatekeepers Curse” and “Vault of Destinies”, were well-received and well-reviewed enough,
earning
well over a million total readers worldwide, that the author decided to try his hand at writing something entirely original.

“The Riverhouse,” a historical ghost story, reached number two on the amazon best-sellers list.  “Ruins of Camelot” is the hopeful beginning of a new fantasy series, which will soon continue with the adventures of Gabriella’s progeny as they face the scattered remnants of the vampyre army that haunt their world.  For now, however, Lippert has promised a new James Potter sequel, tentatively titled
“James Potter and the Morrigan
Web”.

If you liked the story,
the author encourages you to spread the word.  The more copies of his published works sold, the sooner he can fund the release of a new, free James Potter story.

George Norman Lippert currently lives in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife and two children.  

To all my friends and readers on Goodreads.com, the James Potter Facebook page, and the ever-longsuffering faithful at the Grotto Keep Forum. 

Extra special thanks to: my beta readers (you know who you are); Jane Kalmes and Julianna So, both of whom performed invaluable editorial services for this story;
Dawn Bradley, who tirelessly created the eBook versions of virtually everything I have written; Tom Grey and all the others who have slaved over translations of my works—yours is truly a labor of thankless devotion;
my toughest critic (who also happens to be my wife) Jael.

And finally, to you, the reader who takes a chance on an unproven author and sticks it out to the bitter end.  You deserve a cookie.  Or, at least, another story.

More to come.
