Hello and Welcome to my Goodreads Author Page.

It doesn't take Hercule Poirot to figure out that I am P. Stuart Elliot and my Goodreads bookshelf is currently populated with just the one title - Perseus Middleman: Thaumaturgic Adventurer. The paperback version was published by Authorhouse in April 2007 and the Kindle version had to wait until October 2011.

What you probably want to know is where and how did it all start.
As in most things in life it starts with a neurone. Just a small one and it fired across the nerve endings deep within the brain carrying a message, "Why don't you write a book?"
OK, So the book idea is on the table. But a book about what? Flora and Fauna of the Upper Amazon? Superhero Costumes : A Colourful History? Or even an Hello and Welcome to my Goodreads Author Page.

OK, So the book idea is on the table. But a book about what? Flora and Fauna of the Upper Amazon? Superhero Costumes : A Colourful History? Or even an anthology of 'There was a young ...' limericks? But no, I rejected all of those quite viable titles.

I'd attempted to write a few novels that never really got past the planning stage. You know what happens. You jot down an A4 page of ideas or type out a paragraph of sparkling text and then another more interesting project ventures over the horizon. What was needed then was an idea so enthralling that I would stick at it.
Luckily, I'd been producing a comic strip on the internet, "The Adventures of Hangin' Herman" (do a Google search!). Herman is a shepherd who gets charged on a count of 'Sheep Worrying' and receives a five year stint chained to dungeon wall. The strip is all about his daily trials and the lives of those who live in the castle around him.
Over the last seven years of his five year sentence (yes I know!), the fictional world that hosts these adventures developed, continents were defined, towns and cities mapped and rivers named. A religion had been formed and with this wealth of information at my disposal, the mind went into overdrive. Between April 2002 and April 2003 I had sketched out Perseus' story for the Lost City of Gold.
By August 2004, I had all fifteen chapters written and the story was complete bar the fact that it took another three years to get it into print.
