Shams & Rams
A young ram becomes the newest protector of his herd, joining the battle against their eternal enemies, the wolves. But another threat has emerged, the ancient and illusive Ambush Cats! They push the herd to breaking point and our hero to the brink of insanity!
He must navigate through an increasingly maddening world if he's to save his herd from the cats, the wolves and themselves.
SHAMS & RAMS is the debut novel of Lee Simpson. 2020 was a wake up call for the author, and this story was born out of the creeping tyranny experienced back then. Originally written all in one go, this creative out pouring lacked an ending. Three years later, it has been refined into a double barrel tale of tragedy and heroism.

Lee Simpson's first novel is an entertaining read with strong political undertones. Although inspired by his own political beliefs (I know Lee personally, so I am well versed in such beliefs, although we do not often agree on them all), it is not a requirement for somebody to share those beliefs in order to enjoy this novel centred around a group of Rams, one of whom begins to suspect they are being oppressed and controlled by those in charge.
Shams & Rams is a clever and well structured story, let down in part by the lack of proofreading. With a little bit more study of the technical rules of grammar and punctuation in prose, and some editorial attention, Lee has some real promise as a great novelist. I look forward to reading his future writings.
