Although this was my first published novel, it was the second I wrote. Because of a strange combination of circumstances (I never have any other kind, actually), the first came second and the second first. Typical Mayhar! These books came about as a result of several short stories, a couple of which were bought by magazines.

Then the world I had created kept at me until How the Gods Wove came into being, written in a year’s worth of Monday afternoons. Other books of mine are set in that world, though not obviously recognizable.

I call most of these books metaphysical fiction. I also call them great fun to write and, I hope, to read.
