I'm really pleased with my latest review of book 1 on Amazon.com! I think he really 'got' what I was going for.

A True 5 Star

"Well written with imaginative use of standard characters, elves that are more than your standard pretty girl or tiny warrior, dwarf without attitude and with intelligence, heroes with flaws and not every ending is a happy one or every encounter works out for the best. And a dragon that is both morally superior and evil at the same time, reflecting a measure of humanity and the moral ambiguities we face. One has to wonder about the mindset the author comes from." - Ron Kell "RB" "



I think this helps me understand my writing instincts better. I think my instinct is to take convention, and turn it on its head! I think this really explains what I was shooting for with book 1. So happy someone 'got it' :D

Well the book is still a way off!

I need to check a few things, re-check them. Polish it a bit and maybe do a few minor re-writes!

I really, really want this to be better than book 3.

Here's the covers though for paperback and ebook!

I'm really stoked. I just had a great video review of my first Fantasy book 'The Last Dragon Slayer'.

I really like what he has to say. It makes all the effort worthwhile! Please visit the URL and give it a 'Like' and a 'Share' ! :)
