Orphan's Quest is the first volume of a trilogy called
The Chronicles of Firma. I plan to build my writing career publishing Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels that feature gay, lesbian and bisexual heroes. But you don't have to be gay to enjoy
The Chronicles of Firma. They do not contain explicit sex and are intended for anyone, aged thirteen and up, with an open mind and a love of adventure. You can order both books, autographed, from my Webstore at an incredibly low price:

Orphan’s Quest:
“...what kept the pages turning for me were Pat Nelson Childs' beautifully drawn characters...”

“Highly recommended.”
- Midwest Book Review
“Orphan's Quest is packed with action, mystery and a level of reality that most fantasy stories do not have.”

- Benjamin “Bembo”, Amazon.com

If you got added to my friends list here on MySpace and are wondering why, it's because I've been adding people of all ages who look like they might share my interest in gay-themed Sci-Fi and Fantasy and might be interested in my books. The books are published by a very small press and I have to do all of my own marketing. So if you'd like to see more high-quality gay-themed books in your local libraries and bookstores, you can help me out by checking out my website, buying my book and spreading the word. The more fans I have, the more bookstores and libraries will want to carry my stuff. If you're not interested, but still want to be friends, that's great too! A person can't have too many friends.
