Robert Asprin (1946-2008)

On May 22, 2008, Bob passed away quietly in his home in
New Orleans, LA. He had been in good spirits and working
on several new projects, and was set to be the Guest of Honor
at a major science fiction convention that very weekend.
He is survived by his mother, his sister, his daughter and his
son, and his cat, Princess, not to mention countless friends and fans and numerous legendary fictional characters.

He will be greatly missed.


If you wish to send a note to me or Bob’s family,
please write to Jodynye  @  yahoo.com



The family and friends of Robert Asprin would like to thank everyone for their generous help in
this sad time. There will be no formal funeral; Robert’s wishes were for a simple cremation.
Instead, a memorial pub crawl will be held in his honor in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Well, if you were on your first vacation in years, and an enchanted sword asked you to go find his magikal friends, wouldn't you take him up on it? Especially if there was money involved?

The two of them run into Tananda and her new friend, Calypsa, who are the ones doing the collecting, but it's all for a good cause.

About the Series

The Myth Adventures series of humorous fantasy novels began in 1978 with Another Fine Myth. Over the next 24 years Bob wrote eleven more books in the series. You can see the covers in their currently available editions on our Cover Gallery page.

In 2003, Bob started working with Jody Lynn Nye, with whom he had written one previous novel, License Invoked (Baen Books, 2001). Since then, Bob and Jody have written five more Myth Adventures novels and nine short stories (collected in an anthology, Myth-Told Tales). Another novels is currently under contract.

You may have noticed that the books are published in several formats. Wildside Press brings the books out first, in hardcover and trade paperback. Some months or a year later, they are brought out in mass market paperback by Ace Books. Meisha Merlin had been publishing the hardcover and trade paperback, but they are no longer in business. Copies of those editions can still be found at some booksellers. The Ace mass market paperbacks are available everywhere.
