P.S. Power is the pen name of an exceptionally prolific and deliberately private author of fantasy and science fiction, who has self-published well over a hundred books since 2012.
The author cultivates a playful air of mystery, describing a reclusive life 'in an isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere' and, tongue firmly in cheek, claiming to be a wizard who crossed over from a parallel universe. Behind the persona is a disciplined independent writer, publishing through the Orange Cat Publishing imprint and sharing early drafts with readers on Patreon, who prizes heroes who are 'honest, trustworthy... with a strong sense of family, loyalty' set against real intrigue and danger.
The flagship is The Young Ancients, an epic fantasy of magic and artifice that begins with Builder, following gifted young protagonists in an intricately built world. Around it stand many more series - among them the superpowered Infected and the fantasy Crystals of Memory - together with standalones such as Folly of the Gods, in which a man who has lost everything is guided by the gods to the temple of Volan and a world of magic.
For all the mystery, the work itself is warm, moral and unfailingly readable.
