About the Author
P. Edward Auman is rumored to be older than his IPMA file would suggest. He is known in the latter half of the past century at least to have invented various faerie folk detection methods and devices as well as having confirmed, unofficially, that Mars does have water with a probe made with his own funds for only $42,712.83. The thrust engine to propel the probe launched in the Fall of 1973 is also rumored to contain magical artifacts to provide the power. Having made a number of advancements within the IPMA and the globe at large, Dr. Wilhelmina Rheinhart rewarded Edward with his choice of assignments in the IPMA at the turn of the century. He selected the role of IPMA Historian, with the obligation of detailing the events of the Institute for the Preservation of Magical Artifacts and their duly appointed agents. However, the activity for which Eddie is most famously known is his creation of 43 clones to assist him in all of his many ventures. 42 clones survive today, following a mishap with a gene-splice bio-fuel algae agent, to which Eddie responded, “42’s probably good enough. It is the normally accepted answer to the Universe and everything in it anyway.”

Troll Brother 2: Little Brother Troll – Sample
Chapter 1
Why Nine-Year-Olds Are More Awesomer Than Twelve-Year-Olds
If you were to ask nine-and-a-half-year-old Richard Johansson, III (‘Little Ricky’ to his family and just about everyone else in the world but the Principle at Loafer Mountain Elementary) why it is that people are so afraid of the idea of trolls, goblins, sprites and faeries in general he would likely have no answer. So far, during the course of his travel up the face of Loafer Mountain, into the caverns of the local clan of Mountain Trolls and into the dining hall of King Karapace and Queen Isabel, he’d decided faerie folk were actually pretty much like his own family and friends, only…more awesomer!
Of course, Little Ricky was a bit more of a handful than even his mother, Sara, or his older brother, Robert, could have ever realized even after considering the adventures of Robert and their new troll friend, Kile, which also began in Maple Springs just at the base of the mountain below. For during the same time frame Little Ricky had an adventure of his own. And of course, the Mountain Troll queen, Isabel, recognized Ricky’s propensity for being a handful immediately, having spent the last one-hundred-and-thirty-seven years with Kile himself around.
While she hosted Robert and Richard in their great hall and they ate, her plan to have Kile stay with the human boys was altered quickly to include the possibility of retaining Little Ricky for a stay. For, as most matriarchs of the Mountain Troll race can, she immediately sensed the culmination of many lucky pairings of humans over the centuries to produce one of the rarest of creatures on earth: an honest-to-granite, pure-blood human…with natural magic! She alone recognized the potential of a magic-wielding human who might also be allied with the Mountain Trolls, should conflict ever arise. And! As it turned out, he was a very energetic and a very comely young boy too…for a human. Both would suite the little human well if he were to learn magic from the Mountain Troll matriarchs as her hastily adopted change of plans required.
