About the author
Ross M. Kitson
11 books28 followersI think that all authors are readers first and foremost. I've read since I can remember and since I can remember I have loved the escapism of fantasy and science fiction. This tendency was naturally propagated by the boom in sci-fi of the late Seventies and I became an unashamed fan-boy for Star Wars, Dr Who, Star Trek and BSG.
I read the Hobbit at age 10 and at the time got heavily into RPG and through this found a creative focus. I relished the design of worlds, of scenarios, of adventures, of stories. Yet it wasn't until my late Thirties, when I began reading for fun again, rather than study, that I decided to write.
The fruit of my labour is a two-thirds complete epic fantasy trilogy and a MG/YA sci-fi/Steampunk novel. The former is now on Amazon kindle and will be out soon in print. The latter is sat gathering dust on a publisher's desk in Cambridge...
When I wrote my novel I wanted to re-create some of the heroic fantasy that I loved as an adolescent. I wanted to create something that felt contemporary, exciting, adventurous, with quirky memorable characters and punchy dialogue. I think I've managed that and I also think I've created a detailed and interesting fantasy world to go with it.

A world so complex that anything less than a lengthy series wouldn't do it justice. Emelia and her cohorts embark, somewhat reluctantly, upon a quest that may well decide the fate of all in their realm. Dark forces have arisen and seek to regain their former prominence by reassembling an ancient artifact of immense power. Few are aware of evil's exploits, and fewer still are poised to challenge them.
Written with flair and humor, this is altogether engrossing material and anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre is sure to be quickly hooked. There are many twists, turns and odd alliances along the way. The forces are aligning for what is sure to be an epic contest. Off to buy book three.
