Cover Blurb

Fantasy Fiction novel Heroes of Time Legends: Murdoch’s Choice is the first novel by Wayne D Kramer.

Captain Murdoch has the chance of a lifetime in his grasp…or is it just a fool’s errand?

Zale “the Gale” Murdoch, one of the greatest seafaring merchants in the kingdom of Tuscawny, is at the top of his game. No one has reached the guild’s grandmaster status in generations, and he’s but one job away, with his biggest rival right on his heels. When a mysterious stranger approaches him with information that will seemingly ensure his success, Zale is tempted. The mission: to retrieve the Grimstone, a mythical artifact obscured by the shadows of history and religious folklore…an object of immeasurable value…if it’s real. The journey to find out could cost him more than his reputation and a leisurely retirement. He’ll have to battle dark magic on a perilous voyage to the hostile land where the Grimstone is reportedly hidden…a land very few sailors return from alive.

Starlina Murdoch, Zale’s estranged daughter, wants nothing to do with the sea. But Jensen, the boy she loves, is a member of her father’s crew and determined to make a career as a sailor. As she becomes unexpectedly entangled with her father’s voyage, she must find her bearings amongst the crew and decide for herself where her dreams truly lead.

Join Zale, Starlina, Jensen, and the rest of Murdoch’s Mates on an epic adventure of daring, danger, and magic in this first installment of the “Heroes of Time” series.

About the Author

Wayne Kramer lives in the southern Indiana countryside with his wife and kids. He loves the open spaces and fresh air. His family keeps a small greenhouse, usually a little garden, chickens, and an overweight cat. He has been married to his wife and best friend, Kaly, since 2004.

Wayne wanted to be a published author for nearly 25 years before finally doing it. Life finally afforded enough flexibility that he was able to. He focused a lot more time developing the “Heroes of Time” series that he is very passionate about. Another major novel in the series has already been written.

From early on writing was one of Wayne’s favorite pastimes. He wrote short stories throughout middle school and high school for Young Authors contests and group projects. Before “Heroes of Time”, he worked extensively on creating an epic-fantasy novelization of a popular role-playing video game. Over the years Wayne received frequent feedback on many revisions of this novelization. This became one of the primary vessels through which he fine-tuned his writing.

He graduated from the University of Louisville in 2005 with a Bachelor of Business Science degree. He worked for his parents’ company specialising in medical imaging equipment and parts for fifteen years. Wayne also pursued business opportunities in licensed products. This included helping to run a traveling retail presence, ecommerce, and product design.

Wayne currently owns and runs his own business, W7 Global, which sells parts for medical imaging equipment worldwide. Throughout his professional and personal endeavors, Wayne has visited nearly 40 countries and about 25 states in the US. He especially loved visiting Hobbiton in New Zealand.

Wayne feels truly blessed by God to pursue his dream of writing and publishing stories. The world of Eliorin was inspired by Wayne’s love of stories of classic fantasy and time travel, and he is incredibly excited to share this rich world with you.
