Welcome to NedMarcus.com. Here you can learn more about my stories and the themes behind them.
I write fantasy and SF with spiritual themes, both short stories and novels. By spiritual, I mean a personal connection to something greater. A reader once said that my stories have an awareness of something felt but not believed by most people. I think this is true.
That said, my stories are also adventures in worlds that are different from ours, and some of my early writing is straight adventure.
My stories explore these themes:
A belief in spirit and rebirth are some of the themes of the Blue Prometheus Series.
I write science fantasy, contemporary fantasy, SF, and magical realism. Epic fantasy is also something I love, and I'm planning an epic fantasy world at the moment.
My two series (Blue Prometheus and Orange Storm) while separate, share some characters. The Orange Witch sees Lucy return, and can almost be read as a standalone novel.
