I am interested in reading – and writing – books that have some meaning, some impact; that do not just entertain, but make us into better people. Fiction has great power to change us: we take the hero’s journey with them, and so stories can lead us deeper into the truth of who we are.

I have always loved fantasy, but as a born cynic I would ask myself, ‘Isn’t this unrealistic? Why does good always triumph over evil?’ But I have learnt to find this truth in fantasy: good always triumphs over evil because this is an inevitability. The story follows our inner journey, the one each of us must take over our lifetime: a journey from darkness and struggle that always holds the potential for light. Each one of us has that potential to conquer our in

My writing process leaves me mystified

For most of the year, people in my life pretend I have more normal hobbies – safe, ordinary things like skydiving or competitive fire-eating. But in the run-up to a book launch, all the difficult questions are wheeled out: Where do you get your ideas? Do you earn any money from writing? Why on Earth do you do this to yourself?

So, here’s my attempt at answering:

The Arrow of Apollo by Philip Womack

A great story, slow-paced but with a compelling plot. What immediately captured my attention was Tamol's sense of humour, and I loved her dynamic with En's darker cynicism. I was initially surprised to see this author switch to fantasy, but it still ...more

The stories are arranged into three sections: Almost, Always, and Again, which could be titled Depressing, Dark, and Delightful. They were all compelling, but front-loading with so many gloomy stories made it hard to keep going at first. Do not despa ...more
