about me

***PLEASE NOTE: Due to time constraints I cannot guarantee a return read if you back SOTR.***

I live in West Yorkshire, England and my first book is aimed at middle grade readers (8-12). A fantasy fiction novel, it tells the story of a magical, inter-dimensional circus made up of the good, evil and the most definitely freakish.

I have had great feedback, especially from my daughter who has begged me to write more! Although praise in itself, I think other children would enjoy reading about Sam Clamcorn and his adventures.

I hope to write a series of books featuring Sam and this circus of charming misfits as I've more than enough ideas!

Son of the Ringmaster

D E Hall

Good, clean fun; a humorous yarn of an inter-planetary, travelling circus complete with unique, vivid and endearing characters. Good vs. evil ensues whilst enjoyment beckons.


Older children and young teens will love the funny, strange but loveable characters of Clamcorn's circus. Sam Travis, son of the ringmaster - albeit initially unaware - gets lovingly kidnapped, forced to join the troupe on their adventure throughout the ensuing worlds to defeat their adversary.

The evil Escarlo has magical skills, mirroring other performers' - but only he has a bloodthirsty wish to oliterate his opponents forever. A fabled artefact is the one thing that can help him achieve his aim - will he find it first?

Sam meets his first love on his intrepid adventure, having previously found girls silly and wet. In fact, he finds a lot of things along the way - more relatives, inherent abilities and buckets of courage.

Son of the Ringmaster is a delightful, old-fashioned adventure story with just the right mix of danger, teen issues, morals and fast-paced, encapsulating excitement. The first in a five-series, it harks back to a sense of fun, often forgotten amongst Xboxes and Nintendos.

Enjoy the scenery, the unusual performers and the endearing warmth of Clamcorn's Circus!

I like the casual flow of your writing, it draws you in without you even noticing. I think there could maybe have been a bigger hook at the end of the first chapter, the hints of what was to come elsewhere in this Chp may not be enough to keep reading. Your dialouge is natural which is hard when t... view book

Hi, Very atmospheric and descriptive writing. A couple of nit-picks: I disliked the word 'whence' in the first chapter (don't know why it didn't sit well). Anarin's initial explanation of Auril comes across as arrogance rather than informative and the constant new paragraphs after a couple of se... view book

I think you have a great descriptive voice. The opening sentences were a little long for me and could maybe have been broken up to improve the flow. This may be my taste though. "John's soul was as happy as his mind was afraid" - fantastic sentence! It jarred a little that he immediately knew he... view book

You have a great descriptive voice and you invite your reader in so deeply that they feel the intensity of the horrible things described. I had to reread the opening paragraph of the second chapter a few times as there were so many names in a short space that I lost track. Nice hooks at the end of... view book

Such a heart-rending subject and so beautifully and honestly written. I read to chapter 12 which is about 8 more chapters than I read of other peoples' work but I was so engrossed. It is obviously a different slant of a subject that may already have been written about, but your open approach and s... view book
