Description:

This series was inspired by the question: what does a bonefide genius do when born in the era of stone knives and bear skins? It begins with two such geniuses -Rodne, the hermit and stargazer, and R'dek, the wandering toolmaker. Their friendship is slow to develop, but in time they will become very close indeed, and will both become much beloved of the citizens of the nearby town of Lakeside.

When that town -with Headwoman Li-bet, shamanic healer Caresn and master hunter Loren, among others- comes under threat, Rodne and R'dek put their genius minds to work in an effort to help. Their contributions and invention change everything for the people of Lakeside, and may even change the world.

Notes:

Warnings: Sloppy Paleolithic history, anachronistic technological leaps and funnied up names.

Prior to this series, I had completely eschewed A.U.s, both as a reader and as a writer. A bout of intercontinental, jet-lag induced insomnia changed all that one night, and the world has never been the same since.
