Member Since
February 2014


I was born and brought up in Somerset, England, and my writing draws heavily from the history and legends of that county.

Beowulf, the Norse sagas, the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, as well as Sheridan Le Fanu, Kevin Crossley-Holland, Ursula K. Le Guin & J.R.R. Tolkien have also had a great influence on my writing.

I've recently finished the third and final part of a trilogy of novels collectively entitled the Glenaster Chronicles. These stories broadly fall into the "epic" or "high" fantasy genre, however my reading ranges widely, and what matters to me most is a good story, well told, regardless of labels. And I like a good dragon, too (or even a bad one, come to that!).

It's such a fully realised world, magical and yet wholly believable, and the detail Le Guin puts in to it is extraordinary, without overburdening the reader. Her love of the landscape and nature, and of a simple life well lived, makes Earthsea a place I would love to visit. And I can, in my imagination.(less)

Jonathan Mills Hi Jessica,

Good to hear from you! How are things?

You'll be pleased and/or frustrated to learn that I am deep into the third (and final) Glenaster book, but it is still in very rough form and at times has been difficult to write, perhaps becasue it's the last one and I really need to try and end it right. It would be lovely if it saw the light of day next year, and that's what I'm aiming for, but I can't promise anything - except that there will be no further cliffhangers! I think you'll like the ending I have in mind, I hope so anyway.

Thanks again for all your support and kind words, and I hope all is going well with your own writing - how's the historical novel coming? It sounded like you had some really great ideas there.

Right, just off to have a gander at your blog.

All the best,

Jonathan.

J O'Toole Just updating my new blog with previous blog posts (as a procrastination, of course, what else would a writer be doing...) and Esther comes into my peripheral.

I know I have to, but I can't wait for the third in this series. Just wanted to remind you of that. :) Because of the cliffhanger, yeah?
