The novel "Chasing the Sunrise," the first of a series of novels about the adventures and transformation of Stephen Fisher, takes place in modern England on the mysterious Hispaniola - the birthplace of the bloody Wooduist cult of Don Pedro. This is an example of "smart" fantasy, where the author's solid intellectual and moral baggage is by no means a burden, but it comes in handy for the main character in his travels through time and space.
