Send a message
I’m not sure if I am just not like other writers but I have no thought to a message behind my writing. I just want to create an expansive series of books for others to enjoy. When I achieve this dream someone, somewhere will unearth the real message behind my writing. Whatever that is…..
What am I up to
Been a while since I posted an update and since then I have been to Fantasycon. It was a brilliant weekend full of all manner of writerly people, panels, and lots and lots of books. Which is something I love. I overspent on books but then I saved the money for Fantasycon so it was…
7th June 2017 – Terry Brooks, Magic Kingdom for sale
While cataloguing my books I noticed one called Wizard at Large by Terry Brooks, I read the synopsis and really liked the sound of it, but as it always seems to happen it seems that was in the middle of a series. I looked them up online and found them all on Amazon. I ordered…
