R.L. Pool is an American author from Texas best known for writing the Catlorian series of fantasy fiction novels that have gained much popularity. Pool spent over a two decades in the US Army, and spent much time with the government working as a metrology specialist. He has always been a very active person and in his time with the military, he was very good in archery participating in many archery tournaments. Given that the military tends to have a lot of downtime, he spent much of the time during his last tour writing his first novel “Catlorian Savon’el” that was first published in August of 2016. R.L Pool has always been a good storyteller and would tell his family and friends many stories over the years. However, after many years of promising to publish some of the stories they had heard, he finally believed it was time to try his hand at publishing and submitted his manuscript to Dorrance Publishing. His trust was not wasted as Dorrance published his first novel within a year of submitting it. They offered him advice, feedback and edited the manuscript to make his first novel a bestseller within weeks of publishing. Pool loves to do book signing and will oftentimes engage his fans at Barnes and Nobles trips throughout the US.
The Catlorian series of novels are a combination of adventure, fantasy, and young adult narratives, which makes for a very interesting mix. In scenes reminiscent of many fantasy series of novels, the Catlorian series take the quintessential hero that loses his memory and turns it on its head. In the series of novels, an entire team of adventurers is led by an unlikely hero in facing off against the greatest evil ever to threaten their way of life in centuries. At the beginning of the story in the first novel, we meet the team, which is composed of disparate characters that are doing a variety of activities in their professional and personal lives. Over the course of the series, the protagonists come together to confront their enemies, merging their narrative into one cohesive story. The setting of the novel is in Catlorian an otherworldly setting, where the lead characters make a living. Utilizing elements of mythology and fantasy, the novels may be palatable to readers of both genres, but particularly for anyone that is just getting into the fantasy genre. The quintessential aspects of conscience, valor, grit, and determination coupled with aspects of magic have been put to great use to make for some of the most entertaining of narratives.

Confident in their mission and brought together by fate, the characters now have to depend on each other for the good of their world, their own survival, and success in their endeavor. In Catlorian, nothing is ever so simple or as straightforward as it seems. Given the different motivations of the group, it is not long before the team finds out that the members of their team have very dark secrets. It is an interesting story particularly with its combination of various genres, which makes it a great read for a voracious reader from any genre. When we are first introduced to the team, they are a disparate group of persons who come together to fight a growing threat to their land.
