Tales From Archangel Valley
This Is Book One
Tyzmon: The Last BladeHunter

Überpocket Discount Edition


This is the story of a man who wakes up in a field. He is in pain and surrounded by dead soldiers. He can't remember what happened, how he got here. Perhaps he can learn something by examining this dead soldier's body, maybe the demon called Truth can impart some wisdom.
There's always family: could he ask his brother what's going on.
"Who am I, and what am I doing in this valley?"

Helloa!

«News first. I'm working on Radulf: The Unlucky, so stay tuned. I've updated the Kindle version of Tyzmon: The Last BladeHunter with the tiny little formatting fixes I've found over the past year (yes, on Halloween, Tyzmon turned 1). I've added (yet) another size/format to the available physical versions, this one is 8.25"x6", small, wide and using a 2 column format. Since Tyzmon's birthday, "Halloween", I've been updating the other physical versions with the tiny new changes. These will be available shortly...

I also want to thank everyone for the kind words, including the reviews and the encouragement over the past year and a half. Please say 'hi' to me on Twitter!»

I do a LOT of reading. Lately most of it is non-fiction. You'd be surprised how much research is necessary to write science fiction.

Writing (poems and stories) since I could hold a crayon. Tyzmon: The Last BladeHunter is (by far) the longest single thing I've ever written—72 302 words!

I've promised a certain Danish rock band that it'd be done on Halloween, 2013. Missed it by about 20 hours. (Looks like I got away with it—this time.)

I should write about an unknown—practically homeless—writer w cats (write what you know).

Inspirations include Gene Wolfe, John Barnes, Richard Dawkins, Isaac Asimov, Douglas Coupland, Andrew M. Greeley (this list will get quite long if I don't limit it to six).

I was born in an army hospital in Washington (the state), moved to central Illinois when I was about 2, moved again, to Rock Springs, Wyoming, when I was 12. I spent a few months in Colorado, then back to Rock Springs. Finally I moved to Southern California when I was 14 or so. I've lived in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay area (as well as Florida for a few months—beautiful beaches, fyi).

Now live in Altadena on the side of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Gee, I hope you like my story.

PS: Thank you for reading this. Sweet of you.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Out of the ordinary surreal fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2015
    Tyzmon is not a typical fantasy story despite the presence of that genres tropes. The dreamlike progression of the characters through the Archangel valley is scattered and odd, but Edwards' wordcraft is up to the task of keeping the reader on the jagged path in some manner, just as the characters keep walking, and they walk a lot. There is a whimsy to Edwards' style that keeps this book from being dark, and he takes many experimental chances like speaking directly to the reader. At times Edwards' playfulness almost seems to be a parody of fantasy, and the characters even hint at their knowledge of their participation in the joke. Thus, Tyzman is very effective surrealism, but doesn't build tension within the narrative in the way one normally does. Certain passages were like watching someone play a video game, and I didn't really care what happened to the characters, but didn't care that I didn't care, as the ride was fun. Hardcore fantasy readers are going to find Tyzmon so far off the beaten path they might not find their way back. I would group this book more with writers like B.S. Johnson, or even Lewis Carrol, than J.R.R. Tolkien. Science fiction and fantasy ideas abound in Tyzmon, but the book itself is more experimental fiction than narrative story telling. Even when you think the story is linear, Edwards senses that and pulls the rug out from under you. Thus, not a novel weighted by detailed descriptions, or as a previous reviewer points out, vast and prodigious world building, Tyzmon flies by like a movie script, with lots of action, exposition by dialogue, and many hairpin turns.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tyzmon keeps your imagination busy up to the last page.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2013
    Most books of this style I read so far establish a setting, a world, an environment that you comprehend at some stage. This one is different. It starts simple enough, a person wakes up in the middle of a field, alone. Then the scenario, the plot starts growing, expanding, exploding – and it just doesn’t stop. Just like the protagonists you never fully understand this world of a far, far away future. Edwards zigzags through this world just like Tyzmon, the weird and somehow dubious hero of this story, and never warns you what waits around the next corner. Thus you have to constantly recalibrate the images in your brain, which for me was one of the things I enjoyed most – repainting this world as it kept revealing itself. Just don’t stop reading, it might be hard to find back into the Archangel Valley.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun with Tyzmon
    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2013
    This book takes you far into the future to a world that's familiar yet very different. It's a fun journey as you meet the interesting Tyzmon, who can bring the dead back to life, along with many other characters that will surprise you and make you laugh. If you're a sci-fi fan you will enjoy this book.
