Aleese Hughes is many things: a mother and wife, an avid reader, a performer, and an author. Aleese enjoys her time at home with her children and relishes the opportunities to pick up a good book or write one herself.

Having grown up around theater her entire life, Aleese has a natural ability when it comes to charming audiences while on stage. And the same goes for her knack to put words to paper and create stories that people of all ages can read and enjoy.

The fantasy genre is not only her favorite to read, but it is also what she writes, including "The Inspector Mage Trilogy."

This book is a nice long adventure you can’t put down. At least, I could barely put it down. True, the plot did feel slightly slow at times, and some of the sentences were long and confusing. But, overall, this book is a fantastic must-r
