The Guardian and the Dream Crawler

So, hey!

My name is Sam Lewis and I have just begun my journey to become a self-published author. My book, above, is the first of an eventual fantasy series aimed at Young Adults and general readers. I believe it to be a fun read, fast paced and - fingers crossed - entertainment worth your time.

As for me personally, I'm 25 years old from Fareham in the UK. I have three children, all boys, a five year old and two year old twins... I can sense the sympathy as you read this. It is a hectic household BUT an enjoyable one too. My day job is as an Architectural Technician whilst in the evenings I try my hardest to write when the boys are asleep.

So yeah if you find the time, please check out my book I think if given the chance it'll give you as much enjoyment as it did me whilst writing it.

Lovely to meet you, Sam!

Welcome to the world of writing, Sam. I started writing when my kids were small as well. Took them to dance lessons, basketball practices, baseball practices...they'd go in and I'd sit in the car with my laptop and write. Perfect alone time to concentrate!

LOL...twins...Not laughing at you, laughing with you. I come from a family with a high incidence of twins and it's only by the grace of God I didn't get a set myself. Enjoy them! :)

Thank you for the welcome ladies! Yes the mention of the twins always gets people laughing with me! But as you say they are enjoyable, I'm lucky and they are a funny pair.

My eldest is only 5 but the hobbies and afterschool activities are already underway so I guess I'll be using the spare time as effectively as you did. Or at least try to!
