about me

DON'T ASK- JUST DO. YES, I'LL SWAP COMMENT FOR COMMENT.

I am now back at school, but will still comment for comments. Stand has been re-edited and updated all the way to the end! Wooo!

I've been writing stories just for myself since I was 10, but recently got inspired to seek advice in the hopes of one day seeing my work in print.

I don't seem to be able to write just one story. Stand is actually the first part of two, and there are about five more about the world, some of which are big enough to be trilogies. And yes, they are all written down, with two more still in my head.

Can't argue with a muse I guess...

favourite books

Steven Erikson's Malazan series
Miles Vorkosigan series- Lois McMaster Bujold
Kidnapped- Robert Lewis Stevenson
Our man Weston- Gordon Korman (and old inspiration from when I was a kid)

Girr has lain in the hands of the Lionian Sovereignty for fifty years. The time has come for a challenge to be issued.


After fifty years of suppression, stirrings can be heard in Girr. A descendent of the last king seeks to throw the conquerors from his lands. To succeed, Danoron needs symbols. He needs SoulBurner, the blade of his ancestors, unknowingly a cursed blade that could rob the young king of his mind. He needs the help of traditional allies, like the current Dragon Keeper. Unfortunately, Cairon Mirk wants nothing to do with the politics that shunned his family. His heart belongs to the dragons alone.

But when the Sovereignty puts a bounty on dragons, Cairon is forced into action and the king’s chance to take the world from the hands of the all-powerful Lionian Sovereignty has come.

The denizens of Dragon Pass are going to war.


**** Cover by Bradley Wind. Thanks a million! ****

I don't write back to many spams, but I figured a return read might be worth it, and I liked your pitch. I tend to write comments as I read. the comments are a combo of errors (if I spot them: error-free writing attracts agents better than error-full writing...) and general thoughts about the co... view book

Hello Pete! I have this feeling I've read Memory of Blood, but maybe I've just seen it around an awful lot. I don't, however, really remember the opening, but then I've read an awful lot on authonomy, most of it a long time ago now. I think you and I frequented a certain thread in the forum, so t... view book

An interesting and promising pitch... so I took a (very) quick look. Can't stay long... Funny how since his name's Alfie, I can't take him serious. I wonder if that was the point. It's a childish name, which suits the child that won't grow up. Good job on introducing the concepts (glamour et... view book

Well, I love the premise. I get the impression from the hook that it's not fully formed yet, but the idea of being stuck with a marriage to a necromancer makes me want to read more. Thus, I read on... I tend to write down my musings as I read, then pass them along. I'm fast becoming a stickler f... view book
