I've started playing around with Wattpad. I've been meaning to do this for some time. I wanted to scratch out some rough prequel stories to 'The Deathsworn Arc' so I started one for Korhan. It's very rough, it's unedited and unproofed - just me scratching out a story. It begins as Korhan and Harald enter Torea for the first time.

Please feel free to read it and share it as I write it. I'll be adding to it regularly and I may do the same for Vashni, Brael, Votrex and Saul at a later date.

You can find it here:-

I've thrown a few paragraphs into my Free Prequel to the 'Deathsworn Arc: The Last Dragon Slayer'

It's here: -

It's a slow moving project, and it's very, very rough. I'm not editing or proof-reading or polishing, I'm just throwing my thoughts out as they come.

When it IS complete, I may remove it, edit it and polish it, proof-read it and get a couple more pairs of eyes cast over it, then publish it as a Kindle Title. It's far too rough to publish at the moment, and it's a slow burner - I'm more focused on 'Deathsworn Arc 3: The Blood Queen' and 'Deathsworn Arc 4: The Temple of the Mad God'

It's a scary thing, but I think the time is right.

The Last Dragon Slayer



It's now FREE on Amazon.com! Please, please, if your interested in fantasy that is a little bit different, if you can tolerate a story with an element of atheism in it - please pick it up!

I'd really like to pick up some more ratings and reviews - especially if you like it!

I'm not sure how long it will be free for, but it will definitely be free for a while.

Pick it up here:-

New blog post about this here:-

Explaining where it is free and why I finally decided to bite the bullet and give book 1 away.

It's free everywhere now, so you have no excuse! Pick up a copy today!

The Last Dragon Slayer

I will be releasing 'The Blood Queen' on paperback and other digital formats once I've finalized the current version 1.2

Expect it to be a couple of weeks.

I'm really pleased with my latest review of book 1 on Amazon.com! I think he really 'got' what I was going for.

A True 5 Star

"Well written with imaginative use of standard characters, elves that are more than your standard pretty girl or tiny warrior, dwarf without attitude and with intelligence, heroes with flaws and not every ending is a happy one or every encounter works out for the best. And a dragon that is both morally superior and evil at the same time, reflecting a measure of humanity and the moral ambiguities we face. One has to wonder about the mindset the author comes from." - Ron Kell "RB" "



I think this helps me understand my writing instincts better. I think my instinct is to take convention, and turn it on its head! I think this really explains what I was shooting for with book 1. So happy someone 'got it' :D

Well the book is still a way off!

I need to check a few things, re-check them. Polish it a bit and maybe do a few minor re-writes!

I really, really want this to be better than book 3.

Here's the covers though for paperback and ebook!

I've finally set myself a newsletter up! If you want status updates on the Deathsworn Arc or my other WIP's you can sign up here:-

I promise not to spam, there's an unsubscribe link in every email. All posts will be about bookie things, mainly my work. I may occasionally post about an article I read online that I think might be interesting or another authors work, but posts will be infrequent and interesting (Hopefully!)

My new title is here! It's only a short story, but I'm really proud of how it turned out. It's a sequel to my well-received 'Lambton Worm' re-telling and it takes place fifteen years later. Sir John Lambton has been boasting about his success against the worm and his boasting may lead to his downfall. The girl who saved him from his own stupidity might be the only one who can help him. However, all is not as it seems...

For audio book listeners I have now published 'The Lambton Worm' audio book. I found a fantastic pair of narrators, a chap who narrates and voices most of the characters and a lady who works with him to do the voices which require a female tone. The end result is stunning. I loved Kat Rose-Martin's take on 'The Last Dragon Slayer' but I wish I'd managed to get Ian Gordon and Jen to do that book too.

I have some promotional codes to giveaway for review copies of 'The Lambton Worm' Amazon audible audio book. First three people to request one in the comments get one. All I ask is an honest review of the story and the narration.

If you don't hear from me again, have a fantastic Christmas. Sorry about the long wait for 'Rise of the Archmage' I'll be posting updates in my newsletter. It will be fantastic when it's done, and I will release it as soon as I can, but at the moment it's still at least a few weeks off unfortunately.

Best wishes,

Martyn Stanley
