"Ron is unfairly talented! I expect he'll get fed up with being called
the new J.B. Cabell."
-- Sir Arthur C Clarke 

Before TV's Warrior Princess, Before the Golden Lasso, fiction�s first
major Warrior-Woman was Ludovico Ariosto�s Bradamant, the heroine of
his classic 16th century poem, Orlando Furioso. In 7th century Europe
of myths, gods and monsters, Bradamant vanquishes evil knights,
rescues the unfortunate, fights black magic and destroys entire armies
in her adventurous quest for her lost lover, Roggero, an enemy knight
she once rescued at the risk of her own life. Roggero in turn must
battle monsters, giants and evil sorceresses in his quest to be
reunited with Bradmant in this epic retelling of her story, with new,
original illustrations by the author and by Gustave Dore from his
classic 19th century edition of Orlando Furioso. 

More praise for BRADAMANT:


"Bradamant is the definitive female butt-kicker, and Ron Miller does a
dynamite job of novelizing her adventures . . . highly recommended." 
-- Mark E. Rogers, author of Zorachus, The Dead and Samurai Cat 



"Ron Miller has a startling dramatic range--- he can write everything
from powerful romantic lyricism to the ironically whimsical--a modern
voice with classical strength." 
-- Stephen Hickman, author of The Lemurian Stone 



". . . hilarious, extraordinary writing . . . [that] reminds me of
James Branch Cabell [and] Italo Calvino . . . left me gasping for
more." 
-- Martin Olson, novelist, screenwriter, producer (Penn and Teller's
Sin City Spectacular) 



"A grand story, expertly written. The comparison to Cabel is apt." 
-- George Zebrowski, John W. Campbell Award winner for Brute Orbits 



...about BRADAMANT:

(DALLAS) Fantasy/science fiction maestro Ron Miller, accused of being
"unfairly talented" by the legendary science fiction author Arthur C.
Clarke, has brought to life fiction�s original woman warrior in an
effervescent tale of romance, magic and treachery, all set in
Charlemagne�s Europe.  BRADAMANT has been produced as a FREE
unabridged dramatic audio series broadcast in weekly episodes at
http://www.timberwolfpress.com.  BRADAMANT will soon be available in:

- MP3 download format
- E-Book
- CD-ROM
- Audio CD
- Book-on-Tape
- Trade paperback (available now)
- Tune in each Friday for all 30 episodes!

BRADAMANT, inspired by the 16th century epic poem "Orlando Furioso,"
features a female protagonist that novelist Mark E. Rogers calls "the
definitive female butt-kicker."  Breaking from the fantasy action hero
tradition where a man is always the knight on a white horse and the
woman is always a damsel in distress-- this time it�s a woman swinging
the sword, creating a fantasy action hero that a male could never be.

In addition to publishing traditional books of paper, Timberwolf turns
their titles into Internet audio books using the technology that
Timberwolf Publishing�s President and CEO Patrick Seaman helped
pioneer at Broadcast.com (the site that later merged with Yahoo! in a
$5.4 billion deal). 

In a galloping jump over previous audio books, Timberwolf uses this
technology with well-known professional actors to produce a sound
story worthy of the 21st century. "We aim to dazzle," said Timberwolf
Executive Producer Jim Cline.  Timberwolf�s first audio story (and the
Internet�s), A SMALL PERCENTAGE, remains one of the world's most
listened-to Internet audiobooks.  All 42 episodes are still available,
FOR FREE, at http://www.timberwolfpress.com!

An accomplished artist and illustrator as well as a master wordsmith,
Miller�s best selling book History of the Earth has just been optioned
for a 3-D IMAX film.   His space exploration-themed art is featured in
the Smithsonian Museum, the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, scores of book
jackets, and magazines ranging from Scientific American to Newsweek.
If voices you hear in the production sound familiar, it is because
they are.  The role of Bradamant is played by Kathy Garver, best known
for her role as "Cissy" in Family Affair, as well as her roles in a
slew of films across a thirty-year career ranging from The Ten
Commandments to Apollo 13 to Billy Madison.

Timberwolf has more releases slated for production in upcoming months.
The frenetically paced techno-thriller ALL THE TEA by U.S. Army
Reserve Commander Ken Carodine finds the U.S. and China in an
all-too-possible face-off over hot fusion on a small island in the
South China Sea.  In CALCULATED RISK, hot new author Denise Tiller
tells the story of a small-town actuary who discovers counting dead
people for a living can be murder when the bodies start multiplying.
