See my thread: Fantasy lending library, for recommended reading in this genre. http://www.authonomy.com/forums/threads/93042/fantasy-lending-library/

I began writing fantasy fiction at the age of fourteen and have been mildly obsessed with it ever since.

I completed my MA in Creative Writing, at Liverpool John Moores University. In the summer of 2009 one of my novels, HORIZON, was shortlisted at the annual novel writing competition Pulp Idol, part of Liverpool’s Writing On The Wall Festival. I also attended a weekend writing course at Ty Neywdd Centre for Writing in South Wales, where all the finalists had one to one sessions with published author Jenny Newman.

My main influences in the fantasy genre are: Robin Hobb (aka Megan Lindholme), Jim Butcher and David Gemmell. Hobb’s work is more indicative of classic fantasy, as is Gemmell’s, and Butcher’s is a mixture of both classic and contemporary urban settings. These authors’ skills at world building and characterisation are, in my opinion, supreme.

Land of Midnight Days

Kate Jack

In a city that's become an urban jungle, Jeremiah Tully already knows how to survive, now he must learn how to live.


What would you do if your life was filled with fear: hide, run away -or would you fight back?

In a city at war with itself, Jeremiah Tully already knows how to survive, now he must learn how to live. Mute from birth, of mixed race heritage and his only possession a charmed flute, Jeremiah tries to discover where his remarkable talent as a musician will take him.

Is he the catalyst that will free the metropolis of its demons? Can he rid the streets of the Gangers and Wannabees who terrorize and dominate? The path to freedom is long, dark and twisted.

 

Through the Gloaming

Kate Jack

Sequel to Land of Midnight Days, Jeremiah's journey continues.


Robbed from birth of his voice, Jeremiah Tully is nonetheless a musician of astonishing ability. Having fled after the demon wars to a place of tranquility, he must now return to the city and start all over again.

This time his journey will take him into The Gloaming, a world steeped in perpetual twilight and filled with tormented souls, trapped forever in semi darkness.

Hi Ryan, just read the opening of Dawn of Resurgence and thoroughly enjoyed it. You have a fluid style of writing that is a pleasure to read. Your descriptions are both vivid and evocative and the characterisation spot on. I’ve left a few comments, which I hope prove useful and it’s with great pleas... view book

Hi Rachel. Your book was recommended to me by Jane Dougherty as an excellent read and so it proved. The narrative and dialogue have a medieval flavour, which is not overdone as is sometimes the case in stories of this type. Your powers of description are evocative, again without being over done. The... view book

Hi Amanda, just “borrowed” your book from the Fantasy Library thread. I read the opening of Hidden Goddess and really enjoyed it. You have a lyrical style of writing, almost poetic, which suits the fantasy genre extremely well. I emphasized with your MC straight away and your powers of description e... view book

Hi Hugh, your book, By the Light of the Silvery Moon, was recommended to me by Oriax, Jane Dougherty, as a fantastic read. She was right. The characterisation of Andrew and Weird Willy Whizzbang was spot on. The narrative was descriptive, whilst at the same time being tight and focused, and the dial... view book
