I write action/adventure fiction with a definite proclivity towards Sword & Sorcery. I like magicians, but I'm less partial to unicorns, dragons, elves and dwarves. But give me a hero with a magic sword and I'll make him sing... Wait, I already have!
I've published a number of works under the CasiePress imprint and there are more to come.
I'm an older guy (Guy!), married and all my kids have grown up and given me grandkids to dote over. I've read thousands of books and found that in most cases, I'd rather write than read.
This book was a bit slow at first and I had a difficult time staying awake reading it. It started picking up about 1/2 way into the book. Sam ends up on the run again trying to stay away from Kreb and his craziness. Sam ends up in lots of schemes and tricks. Poor kid can’t catch a break. Something happens in this book in which Sam ends up being able to cast pollen, though it’s invisible. He’s different and that’s ok. That’s what makes him dangerous to his enemy’s which are growing.
When I first started this series, I'll admit I had my doubts. It seemed to flow wrong in the first book but my oh my! This is an amazing series by an obviously talented Author. I regret my doubts and am so happy I stuck with it. I can't wait for the next one to be released!
Every story of Guy Antibes, that I have read, I love. One more book in this series :( This writer has a great imagination, knows how to pace a story and develop interesting characters.
