edit data

H.O. Charles is author of The Fireblade Array - a #2 best-selling series across Kindle, iBooks and B&N Nook in the Sci-Fi and Fantasy categories (#1 would just be showing off, right?)

Though born in Northern England, Charles now resides in a white house in Sussex and sounds like a southerner.

Charles has spent many years at various academic institutions, and cut short writing a PhD in favour of writing about swords and sorcery instead.

Hobbies include being in the sea, being by the sea and eating things that come out of the sea. Walks with a very naughty rough collie puppy also take up much of Charles' time. ...more

Wheel of Time TV Series

I’m logging back on here and reviving this partially abandoned blog purely to speak in support of the Wheel of Time TV series. I’ve just finished watching series 3, and it was INCREDIBLE.

The cast, the costumes, the set, the effects… honestly I don’t know how they could have done it better. Some of the changes to the original storyline had me cackling away in a manner that scared the dog, or open-

Quotes by H.O. Charles (?)

“What are we if we are not products of our history? History is not in our past but forms us in the present. And how histories are written or interpreted depends on what we do today.”
― H.O. Charles, City of Blaze

“I often think publishing a book is like doing a poo. Once it's ready for the world, you have to relinquish that control and let nature take its course. A few will be impressed by your creation, others will be disgusted. Plus, no one will enjoy your success and achievement in producing it as much as you did.”
― H.O. Charles

“It was all very well being in love with one of the most beautiful women who had ever lived, but it had a tendency to get in the way of even the simplest of tasks.”

I have several spare copies (paperback) of Nation of Blaze and one or two of City of Blaze to give away. These are proof books with slight errors (e.g. the odd typo, old cover, or the cover printing has slipped). They're currently taking up space in my house and I have no need of them! If anyone's interested in a copy, please message me!
