Mark’s comments from the The Hawk and the Wolf group.

I wonder if Mr. Schindler is a little too old to appreciate a teenage hero?

There's a new review of "The Hawk and the WOlf" out from the Englewood Review of Books (http://erb.kingdomnow.org/?p=476). It's generally favourable, but not entirely (I actually welcome negative criticism--that's how we improve). I'd be glad of your comments, though--what do you think of the review?

Thanks, Kevis. I appreciate that! I hope things are going well with your book?

You could ask Shane Camus at Westbank Publishing. He knows everything. I, like Corporal Schultz, know nothing.

A Boy Prophet. A Warrior Queen. A Sword Out Of Legend.

Welcome to the brand-new Goodreads discussion group for my novel, "The Hawk and the Wolf."

For those of you who haven't read it--well, read it. But if you haven't yet, it's about Merlin as a boy, and how he comes to terms with the prophetic powers the gods of his people have bestowed upon him.

Some of the themes of the book include sacred violence, the culture clash between Celtic and Roman peoples, and political in-fighting as a reason for a nation's decay. There's more, of course: there's ancient legend and a warrior queen and a quest for a sword we've all heard of . . . Excalibur.

I hope you enjoy the book, and recommend it to your friends; and I hope you have plenty of questions about it. It was designed to provoke questions.

For a good analysis of the book, see the Renditions of Camelot discussion, available on my website: http://www.markadderley.net/matter-of....

Mark Adderley,
Author, The Hawk and the Wolf.
