There have been many notable figures in the field of writing. Most of those people are long dead, but there are a few that are pretty fresh on the scene. One such author is Piers Anthony.

In one world Style, the main character, is a lowly serf being chased by one of the rulers and in the other he is the most powerful magicia...
