Well I think somehow you've got a garbled substandard version of my book. I don't know how this happened! I am sure there are some minor mistakes I'm not perfect! But throughout, don't know about that. As to grammar incomplete sentences, I use fragment sentences for effect because I like to, I think they add a useful dimension to the action sequences. I'll put it at a FREE price on Kindle soon & download it again, perhaps, from somewhere you got a mess-up copy.
And, in summation, I have put my efforts into a new book, another historical fiction novel about Scotland. I could re-write Celtic Blood but even if no one else likes its it I do and like the style. As to flaws, it is a first novel.
I'll let you know when I put Celtic Blood out there for free.
Please give me an example of misspelt words, remember, I don't write in American English!
Thanks for the discussion your input helps me to be better at what I do. I do listen.

I don't consider that it needs a desperate editing job. I wrote it like I wanted it written, using an archaic English style & that includes the syntax and punctuation.
Others consider like I do that it is quite well written!
In my next book just finished I have gone for a much more orthodox approached and language usage.
Thanks for the question. Read Thomas Marlow, Holinshed, Shakespeare, that's where I was coming from.
All The Best,

Read a lot, practise writing and write a lot ... there's no other way!

I am working on two novel, the sequel to Celtic Blood, The Sword And The Thistle, another Scottish epic, and a work that explores my early twenties when I was a cop in outback Queensland and knew a Kadaicha Man, an Aboriginal supernatural mage/maverick.

Be a reader. I guess everyone starts there.

My second book is a sequel to my debut novel, Celtic Blood. I was influenced in my approach by my very great appreciation for the Game Of Thrones franchise and the multi-story line structure.
