I started writing after I took early retirement from teaching. I taught science, Maths and English at secondary level.

My first book, which morphed into The Wolves of Vimar Series, was based on a D&D scenario I wrote in the 1990s. Since then I have written the second and third parts. I am currently in the process of writing part four.

I have another fantasy two-book series published by Next Chapter, who have also published my other books/ It is called Elemental Worlds, and the books are The Stones of Earth and Air and The Stones of Fire and Water.

I have also written a historical novel set in the time of the Romans in Britain, Vengeance of a Slave.

I live in East Sussex in the United Kingdom. I enjoy doing a variety of crafts as well as paintin

I've been very lax recently at looking at my questions. I just came across yours about how living in East Sussex influences my writing.
I write fantasy mainly, but have recently published a historical novel, and have another with my publisher. My historical novels are set around York and Derbyshire and so I don't think living here has influenced them very much.
The fantasy ones are probably a different matter. I use scenes that I have enjoyed when writing, but they are not solely from around here. The land of Grosmer has a European flavour in the land. The 'three seas' are in the same position as the Mediterranean, and there is a similar climate there. Further north it changes to a more northerly climate.
When the party travels through the land of Grosmer, I used something of the woodland scenes around here. It is spring and bluebells and primroses abound in the woods, to the fascination of one of the characters who has lived all their life in the city.
So, in answer to your question, Yes and no. I am influenced in part but not wholly.

Review of Mary Deal's book, Write it Right

Mary Deal has produced a book that every aspiring author, and even those with experience, should read.
She deals with every aspect of writing, from the beginning, when the book is just the germ of an idea, to the end, when the book is published and the dreaded marketing begins.
If you have no other book on writing, this should be the one you buy. It should be required reading for every author.

Historical Fictio...: 2021/2022 Winter Challenge Scoring Thread 86 139 Feb 27, 2022 04:35PM  
“His punch knocked her back a meter into the wall. His fist had moved of his own volition, carrying a rage and frustration all its own.

To his dismay, she didn’t fall. People so small as her always fell.

No tears pooled in her eyes; instead they flared golden amber as she rubbed her jaw and pushed off the wall to stand rigid straight. A peculiar smile danced across her lips as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth and down her chin.”
G.S. Jennsen, Vertigo
