Hi!

I write epic fantasy novels, which began with a series of four books, These were, The Three Powers, which began with The Snowmelt River, and continued with The Tower of Bones, The Sword of Feimhin and ended with The Return of the Arinn.

I was lucky enough for my books to have gathered excellent reviews from various sources including the British Fantasy Society and Starburst Magazine, which helped to push them into the top ten bestseller list of epic fantasy novels on amazon.

More recently I began a new epic fantasy trilogy, which began with epic advantures of Eefa and Magio, who are The Twins of Moon, which got great reviews. It was followed by The Sea of Stars, which will soon be competed with publication of the third and final book, t ...more

Book 3 of The Twins of Moon

I can now reveal for the first time the title of Book 3 - the final title in The Twins of Moon trilogy. The title is "The Lore of Dragons". So, yes, dragons play a major role in it.

I expect the kindle to become available towards the end of summer/ early fall.

Mark Salwowski, who created the cover pics for The Twins of Moon and The Sea of Stars is currently working on a brilliant cover for The Lor Read more of this blog post »

Well, what did I expect. It's a masterpiece. The title is something of a puzzle but is, perhaps, linked to the difference in thinking, social attitudes and behavior of the elderly sheriff and the greedy amorality of the bad guy. What I enjoyed most i ...more

As usual with Iain M Banks, it's a brilliant if demanding read. I should add that I wrote to him about a book I was writing some ten or more years ago. He was genially helpful - can't speak too highly of him. Somebody who is greatly missed. ...more

“Strangest of all are the suggestions that T铆r is linked to a sister world, variously known as Geb, J枚rd, Gaia 鈥� or even Terra, a name akin to that of our world, T铆r. Manifold are the references to this sister world in the legends of T铆r, notably those of the warrior races such as Fir Bolg and Shee. In both traditions the two worlds are spoken of as twins 鈥� as if worlds like infants, might share a single cosmic birth. Communication and even passage between worlds is said to be possible through Dromenon or the power of the F谩il. This same passage is said to have allowed the seeds of war to be carried from one world to the other, though such history is uncertain and largely denied. Most intriguing is the suggestion that the fates of the two worlds might also be entwined, as is occasionally seen, even dramatically so, in living twins. The implications are unknown, perhaps even unknowable. Yet one is tempted to question if the answers to the afflictions of one world might be discovered in the struggles and tribulations of the other? 鈥� Ussha De Danaan: last High Architect of Ossierel”
