“The Bourne Identity meets Blade Runner.” – Dawn H.

"Exciting/riveting novel that kept my interest with all its twists and exciting descriptions. Im not a sci-fi follower normally but I really enjoyed this. I was drawn in by the descriptive language and characters I felt like I was getting to know. A fun read!" - Linda W.

"A strong and powerful vision of the future! The descriptions of the technology and its use (and misuse!) are stunningly detailed and incredibly prescient. The story moves along at a great pace. I definitely look forward to future installments." - Michael C.

"Author David Grunwell takes the reader to a distant planet in the future. His vision of technology, and how it is used in the future, is extraordinary, yet very believable. He has captured not only the technology of the future, but more importantly to me, how people of the future interact with that technology. While reading Fall of Heaven, I was reminded of Jules Verne’s works and how in the late 1800’s he created a realistic glimpse into the future." - David B. Gilmore, Author - Operation Sapphire

"VG story, writing, and imaginative plot and sci-tech. I recommend this book, and hope this turns into a series. Great work." - Kent I.

The cover for the novel Trolls and Other Trouble. In the dark of night, a dreaded goblin scout is staring at the reader, with its boar-like tusks, its long, pointed nose and the tiny, sharp teeth that poke out of a thick lower purple red lip. The text on the book reads Ruferto Basaretti No. 1, Trolls and Other Trouble, and David S. Grunwell. The word Trolls is shiny like gold, but it has been marred, beaten, and cut. Trouble is gold but with no bruising. Most of the other type is white with a strong, black outline. The cover for the novel Prophecies and Other Problems. Warren, the powerful King of the Red Dragons, is high above a beautiful mideval city. Fire rages in the city from his fury. There is a river and mountians in the distance. The fearsome red dragon is charging the viewer; its bat-like wings are held wide. It is so close that we can see is its head, scaly torso, and his wings stretching across the image from left to right. The dragon’s mouth is open baring its sharp yellow teeth in a roar. Horns adorn its broad angry head, and it has lowered its massive legs to grab. The text, Ruferto Basaretti No. 2, Prophecies and Other Problems, David S. Grunwell. Prophecies and Problems are made of shiny, beveled gold. Most of the other type is white with a strong, black outline. The cover for the novel Dark Elf Danger. A beautiful elven woman with silver-white hair, pale skin, full blood red lips, and shockingly blue eyes is staring intensely, just to the right of the viewer. She is wearing blue-black armor and shoulder guards; it all has organic gold detailing. The background scene is a murky, blue-green mix of strong gothic pillars, and there are scores of other dark elves with her. Text on the image, Ruferto Basaretti No. 3, Dark Elf Danger, and David S. Grunwell. Dark Elf Danger is in a shiny, beveled, gold font. The other text is white with a dark black outline.

The Adventures of Ruferto Basaretti

"Best series ever! It's my guilty pleasure when I'm supposed to be doing something else. Like sleeping.”

"I love that there is no swear words or sexual situations that is so common in fantasy novels today! There is war, but it does not glorify the gore. It still is great fun!"

"Best series ever! It's my guilty pleasure when I'm supposed to be doing something else. Like sleeping. 🤣"

“I find myself laughing out loud and then it's followed by some thoughtful moments about life.”

“This series just keeps getting better and more exciting! I keep sneaking off to read more!”

“This unique and fun series has the potential to be as popular as Harry Potter.”

“I love Bert and Ruferto! I want to hang out with them and Narda!”

"An undiscovered gem of a series!"

"Just get these books, you will thank me later!"

"I read this book as a way to de-stress and ended up not wanting it to end. It was a fun, delightful and entertaining read.... I read with a chuckle or grin in many places. The adventures of Ruferto and things that happened to him surprised me in ways I never would have thought of (sometimes edge of your seat and sometimes intriguing), but I always felt like I was there with him and anxious to see what happened next. It was my perfect happy place during the stressful pandemic. I can't wait to read the next in the series!"
