Where are you, Andrew J. Offutt? And why aren't you writing more stories?

For readers who enjoy the 'old school' type of fantasies, with evil wizards and lots swords and sorcery [known, too, as 'Swords and Planet' stories], I recommend Andrew J. Offutt for your reading pleasure.

I know the name, but I'm not sure where from. It could have been Conan or Thieves' World, I guess, but none of those titles look familiar.

His name IS associated with Conan and Thieves' World, so maybe that's where you heard of him.

Or maybe you just heard of him in a general sense due to Robert E. Howard.

I have all his books in paperback. Had a blast collecting them over the years. Be great to see more from his fertile mind and pen

Yes, I have about 15 books in storage in the U.S.A.

There appears to be hardly anything available in ebooks.

He's either 79 or 80 right now - certainly not time to hang up his computer.

Where are you, Andrew J. Offutt?
