john dechancie

John DeChancie is an American author. A Pittsburgh native, he is most famous for his comic fantasy Castle series, and his science fiction Starrigger series. The Castle series revolves around Castle Perilous (the name is drawn from the Siege Perilous of Arthurian fable), whose 140,000 doors each lead to another dimension. Some of these dimensions are magical, and some are not; one of the latter, of course, is Earth. Those who find themselves at the Castle often stay to become residents, and (to their surprise) develop a magical power of their own. This gift is apparently random, and can range from a minor telekenesis limited to lifting pencils to super-enhanced senses to teleportation to full conjuration of matter. The main character, a philosophy major from Earth named Gene, gains the power of superb swordplay. His best friends include Snowclaw, a giant humanoid covered in white fur, who originally comes from a polar-like clime, and Linda, a woman from Earth. The books include:

Castle Perilous
Castle for Rent
Castle Kidnapped
Castle War!
Castle Murders
Castle Dreams
