Bears Launch

So the launch of Bears of Bridgetown is coming up on the 4th of November (5th if you’re in Australia). We’ll be chatting a bit about the new book but also doing a deep dive into Book 2: Rats of Dweltford. Come along to Facebook and join in the discussion. Or call by later and […]
Awards season

2023 has been a bit of a momentous year for me. A couple of years ago I worked for a director/producer friend of mine, Aaron Kamp, on a movie we called “Thorns and Thistles at the End of the World”. It is, if you can believe it, a Christian, apocalyptic, sci-fi drama – and if […]
Prentice Ash Audio book

Podium Audio has released the first two Rage of Lions books on their platform and the third will be coming soon. If you know someone who would like the stories, but isn’t much of a reader, this is the perfect way to get them involved. Performed by skill & flair by Derek Perkins. PRENTICE ASH […]
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 […]

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 […]

An Adventure in Fan Fiction

It was 2002, or 2003, or…look, the exact year isn’t important. What was important was that Wizards of the Coast had released 3rd edition D&D and with it the OGL, the Open Gaming License. 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. […]
