I often see author profiles that talk about being lifelong storytellers and coming up with wild ideas since they were kids. It'd be nice to say that of me, but that's not how it went.
When I was about eighteen a friend asked me, out of the blue, to help write some stories for a comic book he was working on and, while it never came to anything, trying it made me realise this was something I enjoyed.

I then spent many years intermittently trying to write books and short stories, none of which were particularly good and most of which were pretty half-hearted.

In 2014 I decided to have a proper go of it and wrote a massive tome that was far too long and bulky to publish, but which at least had the makings of a decent book. I hacked at it, abandon

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

Clear rating
Living in the time we do, it's almost impossible to review this book without comparing it to the iconic 1939 film (no, none of the later films count), but speaking personally, I don't see that as a bad thing. The film added in some great touches (my ...more

A definite improvement on the previous book, though not without its flaws. While some things seem to drag on, others are over and done almost jarringly fast. The earliest example would be of Curdie, who apparently grew more cynical in the gap between ...more

Rather predictably, this was quite a short read, but very interesting nonetheless. This might better be called 'The Personal Life of Charlemagne' as it contained only a little of his life as a king, soldier, and politician, and spent a great deal of ...more

I’ll get this out of the way quickly; this isn’t McNeill’s best. He set a high bar with False Gods and Thousand Sons, and stood next to them this one is just ok.

Outcast Dead’s main plot follows an astropath and a navigator, the only survivors of a sh
