edit data

Mark Timmony grew up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. He's wanted to write for as long as he can remember and has several notebooks filled with illegible scribblings from childhood to prove it.

The desire to write led to work as a bookseller in Sydney’s oldest genre specialist bookshop. There he began to make headway on his dreams of becoming a writer.

Mark and 13 other people liked Mark Lawrence's status update Mark Lawrence is on page 201 of 492 of The Damned King: Very good - opens with a 100 page battle in a monster-overrun town, which has lots of variety and character stuff to leven it. More of the book 2 allied character conflict - which feels totally real, groups argue, a lot. And in this book there's more resolution with a bunch of insightful/touching moments. Could be my favourite of the trilogy, and the first two were fine books.
