THE MAGICIAN

As many readers know, The Magician Series is a bit different from most X-Files fanfic. The novels are set in an alternate universe, which branches off from the X-Files episodes at about the end of the second US season, and are for the most part set in a magical kingdom. When JenniE told me of her idea and asked me to join her in writing the first story (which was supposed to be a short story, by the way), I hadn't read much in the way of fantasy, and wasn't sure myself of how well the work would be accepted by the average reader.
Needless to say, we shouldn't have worried. We have had the great honor and good fortune to have created a place inhabited by beings that our readers crave to visit, if only for a while. We have also been honored by the numerous awards these novels have received from their readers. Spurred on by our own yearning to visit the Realm again and the lovely letters of our readers, the single novel has over the years become a series of novels. These have been a pure joy to write. Frankly, the Realm and its magnificent beings are as real to Jennie and myself as they are to our readers, and as satisfying to write as they are to read.

For those of you who are "friends of the Realm", here is a source for all the Magician novels. For those new to the series, I hope you will read The Magician, Book I and prepare, as Mulder and Scully were, to be enchanted by a very different world.
