A clear path to the Charles Mandrake series, which we write
Full disclosure:
I created this site for two reasons:
-
To build a resource for readers who want fantasy with a different emotional center
-
To help readers find the Charles Mandrake Portal Fantasy Series, which I write under the name Anna Ko
The Charles Mandrake books are built on duty, consequence, and trust. Romance is virtually not present.
The girl at the center is defined by her decisions, not her desirability. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, you’ll find a link to the series below.
From the author:
I work a 9-5 job. I have a family. I write at night when the house is sleeping.
Charles, Anna, and Todd are fictitious characters, but they represent real people and real values. Anna Ko is the voice on this site—the part of me that thinks about why stories work and what gets left behind when romance runs the whole structure.
Thanks for being here.
