The Quest for the Book 4 Cover
It’s something I never used to think about – either I liked a book’s cover, or I didn’t. I guess I assumed the book’s publisher gave the artist a copy of the book, they read it, then created the image they thought would be best and the publisher slapped it on the front. Boy was […]
She wolves and the son of nine dragons 1 & 2
The adventures of Mathias Warlock begin with two different sets of guests before breakfast.
Memories of Far Jerusalem – Why Longswords?
Readers of Rage of Lions will know that in the world of the Grand Kingdom, the longsword is the symbol of a knight, or indeed, any noble man-at-arms. So, what is a longsword (as opposed to other types of swords, such as arming swords, short swords, broadswords, rapiers…actually, it’s a pretty long list). And why […]
Fantastic Heroes at war
A little while ago an interesting website named Shepherd.com contacted me. They have a cool concept, where authors get to publicise their books by creating a list of their own favourites by other authors. Shepherd.com invited me to get involved and I created my list of five books of Fantastic Heroes at War. I chose […]

They invited anyone who wanted, to make their own Dungeons and Dragons rules and settings. It was a magnificent time full of possibility.
Prentice Ash Has Been Unleashed
Greetings and salutations, welcome. There’s a term in movie production called development hell. It’s what Hollywood says when a film project gets held up and reworked for a long time. Directors or stars attach to a project and then drop out halfway. Someone doesn’t like a script and insists on a rewrite. Companies go bankrupt. […]
Dweltford
Dweltford is the capital of the Western Reach Duchy that was introduced in book 1 and book 2 will take place primarily in the town and its environs. So that folks will have a better sense of what’s happening, a map of will be included in the book. It will be sepia toned to match […]
V Mini-Series Poster
A sci-fi nostalgia account shared this poster of the V mini-series from the 1980’s. I remember not being allowed to watch it at the time – I think it was on too late or something like that. Seeing the poster now, I have a specific annoyance and it’s not missing the original broadcast. The poster […]
