Overview

Explore 25th Century California with Zook and Artemus as they save their civilization from people like us. Our technological civilization died in The Fall and a new and wonderful culture replaced it. The Amazonian warrior/priestess, Artemus, guides Zook on a grand adventure from old LA to San Francisco and through fabled magical realms. Zook, the inventor of fishing and the teller of wonderful tales, quests away from his home and discovers that the outside world is very different from his clan’s. The Califians cast spells to rule their territory and allow no men on their land. Zook escapes and finds himself among other very strange humans. The tribes he discovers are as delightfully different as humans can be, but they all face extinction as City-Ilanders begin to monopolize the food and goods necessary for survival. Finally, it is up to Zook to save the tribes using Artemus’s training, but he goes through strange adventures along the way. You travel with Zook with every turn of the page. There is no other hero like him. Kick off your shoes and join the journey.

About the Author

Hi, I'm Stephen A. Holmes a writer of fantasy and mystery novels with unusual approaches. Early in life I read hundreds of sci-fi and fantasy novels as my main contact with the world outside the remote ranch were I lived. I studied English literature and writing at UCLA where I decided that I wanted my books to be more delightfully entertaining. See if I've succeeded.

In my plots,I explore our human potential and predicaments by presenting unusual people in love with life and the future we need to make reality. I know these generalities don't tell you much, so you just have to pick one of my novels and enjoy the ride.

'Zook's Quest'reveals our wonderful future in California 400 years from now. No novel should be uncomplicated, life is too rich with details and diversions. Zook's Quest is a gentle journey of awakening for both Zook and the reader. Some say that it may well be one of the important books of our time. 'By Her Rules' is a love story wrapped around the life of a professional scammer. It's a mystery, a who's doing it, a detective story, and an exploration of scams that are all inflicted on us everyday, but are too common for us to notice. You'll love it.
I've been published in Playboy and other magazines, but now I've priced my works at 99 cents so everyone can enjoy. I'll be posting more of my novels and short stories in the coming months.

No two of my works are alike, even though some will be part of three series I'm creating: Scams, Sifters (our future), and Seduced (the true vampires among us). Please let me know what you think as you read these works. Enjoy.
