ABOUT ME
Yvon S Hintz
I am an artist and a writer.
I love to weave stories and I've done a lot of it over the years.
At nineteen I started my epic Half Horse series which eventually ran to twelve books all of them illustrated.
Of my other books there are plenty to choose from with lots of interesting characters, from the 'furry dragon' in "Warrior Wyrm" to rainbow serpents in my Hyper Space Key series. Having lived in various places around my home country of Australia and travelled its roads extensively, I drew on some of those experiences for a few of my stories. This gives them
a distinct Aussie flavour.
I paint at times, though I don't have a lot of room for canvases where I live, so mostly my art is now done on the computer. I illustrate some of my stories and create covers for them. I also illustrate books for others and create covers for those books.
Some of my favourite things: Science Fiction, cats, dragons, goats, travel and watching movies and documentaries.
I also love to hear from people who have read my stories and enjoyed them!
And if you're wondering where the black dragon comes in... that's me too- Ennovy, the little black dragon.
I have a den that you might like to visit. In its caves you'll find more stories, art and odds and ends both funny and interesting.

with blood dragons and of the Smoke

the attacking alien race of Ayas.

warriors with greater than normal strength

Everyone loves the Wind Gods. The magic fields they spread throughout the land can be accessed to build and create without labour and to make things grow and control the weather.
People are happy to use the magic and don’t mind that the price they pay is strict control over what they may read and learn. They are happy to let the Wind Gods take their sick and heal them and don’t notice that not all are returned.
Six strangers find each other and realise they all have the same unanswered questions: Why is reading banned and what have the Wind Gods done with our loved ones? They join forces to find where the Wind Gods live and if possible to strip power from them. Although they each have some ability to use the magic fields they know they have little chance of success but a mysterious hooded child comes, as if from nowhere, and gives them hope.
For National Novel Writing Month in 2017 I didn't have a plot for a story so I decided to do as I had once advised a friend in the same situation- to write a short story each day.
Short stories are not my forte so I thought I would make up a list of thirty subjects and choose one each day to write something about it. I tend to look on the lighter side of life so if you'd like a laugh, have a read.
Three stories of relationships, good and bad, tied by the theme of The Star Fair- an event held on the world of Moonda to which humans and aliens from all lands and other planets come to see, to buy and to hire.

The Hyperspace Key series.
I write this series purely for my own pleasure but they're pretty good stories so if you fancy delving into this universe I would be happy to send you a copy. Skypuddle, Arim's Dark Star and Hyperspace Key are the original three stories, followed by a sequel- Arim's Man. The others are stories from the HSK universe and can be read in any order, but probably best after having read the Skypuddle at least. hellgate@iinet.net.au 
A young Chiffyorn named Ticolaya and his Terran friends hatch a crazy scheme to escape from their prison on the edge of the space war.

Neither are afraid of the conflict to come; Drew has been trained by the mysterious Mr Smith and knows his power and Ange knows that he has always been a protector and will do all he can to help… but she does fear that he might come to harm.
She is caught in a dilemma. If he fights with his brother angels and they fail, he might be harmed, or if they win they might all become fully angel and disappear back to the heavenly realms. But if she convinces him to avoid the fight and live as a human will that make him a fallen angel destined for the pits of hell?
