About the author

Laurence Naughton is a British self-published author, with a background of living and working in a number of different countries. He is married with two children.

He has to write by hand first, leaving the laptop for later and has no doubt been seen by many, scribbling away on trains, buses, planes, airports, parks and a host of other places. Conversations from the curious are not unusual, though the contents often are.

Fantasy is just one of the many ingredients in this writers cocktail. The Wightblade Chronicles, begun in 2011, are also full of humour, romance, mystery, psychology and the bizarre.

Laurence enjoys red wine, theatre, art and museums, good conversation, lemon tea and licorice.

Terra Nostra and the Book of Waiting (Now simply the Book of Waiting) was the first in the Wightblade Chronicles followed so far by Towards the Two Moons, Mists and Mirrors and The Change of Reigns.

The Book of Waiting has a name. Marieda is both neurotic and insecure, despite containing knowledge from the beginning of the universe. She speaks, and is known to have made some readers actually feel sorry for tatty, discarded books and have a sudden urge to take care of them.

Since then the author has branched out into other genres including the DJ (Doylean Jenks) crime/murder/thriller and a collection of stories and poems

Reviews

[Blue]

This is my review of Mist and Mirrors, which is the second book in the Wightblade Chronicles. It follows on directly from Terra Nostra and the Book of Waiting. It also has an introduction at the beginning and it recaps the events of the first book, which is useful if it's been a while between the first and second books.

One thing that became clearer to me as I got a little way into the book was how much easier I found the reading process to how slow I felt the first one was. I feel like perhaps that's because I'm acquainted with the characters already and have a reasonable grasp of where the plot is heading.
~
Overall though, due to fantasy not being a genre I'm the most well-versed in, I just couldn't finish the book, therefore my review doesn't reflect the whole story.

Great book! I’m very much looking forward to book 3!
