About the author

S. P. Muir sounds a bit pretentious, doesn't it? Well let me lighten it up for you with a bit more information.

My name is Stephen Peter Muir, I live at the edge of England's beautiful Lake District National Park with my beautiful wife, Rosemary. I won't say quite how old I am, but Noah says to tell you all, 'hi.'

"So what about your writing, Stephen?" I hear you ask. It's funny, but it seems I began writing as soon as I could hold a pen. Poetry and short stories mainly. I wrote my first novel while I was still at school; a thriller called 'The spoilers'. It was so bad that I duly filed it in the nearest dustbin! Fantasy soon became my main love, though.

My first novel to be published, The Talisman of Wrath, is the first book in a fantasy series. It had it's beginnings way back... hey, why not check out the blog on my website for that particular anecdote? You'll find the whole tale about the genesis of that book there. There's a little bit more info about me as well.

And why not also click the link to my amazon page? You'll find more details about all my books there as well. It's:

Or why not ask me a question?

If you've read any of the 'Saga of the twins of Arl' books, you might want to ask about how they measure time and distance. Even about the religious beliefs of the different races in that world.

I might even let you in on the secret of how old I am. Shhh! don't tell anyone.

Speak to you soon, I hope.

ALthough only 3 stars, I have read all 3 books to date. They are an OK read, but the books are very short and the writing style is not really to my taste.

I have really enjoyed reading all three of Mr. Muir's despatch riding memoirs. I can't believe he's still coming up with new stories to tell, but this is a great, easy read, especially for people who remember the bikes of the 80s.

I’ve read all three of S.P. Muir motorcycle books. I know nothing about motorcycles, but I’ve enjoyed the stories of his job as a dispatch rider. The job brought many interesting scenarios including having to manage the weather, his bikes, and people.
