I’m J.L. McCreedy, author of The Orphan of Torundi and the Liberty Frye series.
This site is a work in progress (aren’t we all?) but for now, you can find media links on the menu bar above. Any new blog posts are under the What’s New tab, but if you wish to know a bit about me and the worlds of yore in which I lived—including those that inspired the settings behind my books—, you can read of my past misadventures at TongaTime.com.

Happy voyaging!
Personally autographed copies of all books are available for purchase.
