The Hobbit meets Robin Hood: Men in Tights in this “slight” parody.
Adventure. Excitement. Epik craves those things.
In search of a father he's never known and of magic he's sure he’ll exhibit (once the timing is right), the young halfling moves to his local kingdom. There, Epik becomes the apprentice to the first wizard he meets – the only wizard left in the city. And for the first time in his life, the halfling makes friends, most notably with a beautiful half-elf girl named Myra.
As a secret sect meet to plot the king's demise, a family of mountain trolls threatens the city. And Epik sees the opportunity to do something, well, epic.
He must learn magic.
He must save the girl.
And he must protect the kingdom . . . Before it falls into the wrong hands.
Spot the pop culture references, uncover the realm’s mysteries, and chuckle your way through this light-hearted fantasy adventure.
Hero in a Halfling is the first in the Epik Fantasy Series. Perfect for fans of both Discworld and Middle-earth. Snag your copy today on Kindle, audio, or print!

Review
"A hilarious account of a halfling's adventure. If you liked The Hobbit , you can't put this one down." - A. J. Antony, author of Jackson Kross and the Dragon Girl
"A real tale behind the comedy" - Amazon UK Reviewer
"Characters worth getting to know" - Amazon UK Reviewer
From the Author
The first book I remember loving is The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. I remember the protagonist, Bilbo, reluctant for adventure. Through trials and tribulations, he comes out a hero in the end, but an outcast in his society.
Later on in life, I found the works of Terry Pratchett, first through his and Neil Gaiman's Good Omens but later through Discworld. I fell in love. Never will there be a writer as witty and genius as that. He took fantasy to a whole other level for me.
So begins my journey as a writer. My "hero" is an outcast. He wants adventure. He wants magic. But he is plagued by his inner self, still a halfling at heart. There's a bit of satire and parody thrown in, but ultimately Hero in a Halfling is a tale of adventure, of finding one's way, and learning who you are inside.
