It's Full Steam ahead.....

So now 'Elfistra the Sorceress', Book 1: of The Wand Chronicles, has been done and dusted. Official publication date is the 19th of March 2019, Although I can't set up the paperback for pre-orders, I can with the Kindle eBook, and that is available now! There is one last thing with Book 1 - It will be also made into an Audio book. Since I was an Actor for over thirty years, I will be narrating it. I am probably more aware of all the characters and their nuances than anyone el

A cold chilly wind blows.........

The problem with Laniakeea, the Elvish dimension, that connects to our Earthan dimension via the Slice, is that in the North are a collection of portals, that open onto a myriad of dimensions. Not only Elvish, but all sorts of species, from the simple to the most bizarre. The grand law of the cosmos dictates that if there is 'good' there has to exist 'evil'. And boy, does Laniakeea get more than its fair share of the 'bad boys ' of the cosmos. Let us pick on just one, and thi

The Sola Continuum

More and more of you are asking, what is the Sola tree? or The Sola Continuum? How is it a part of the Elvish dimension of Laniakeea, and of course, our own dimension as well. Ok, let me put it all into perspective for you. Whilst we are all involved in our own little lives here in the Earthan dimension, day in , day out, we are governed by the laws of mechanics, gravity, time, spiritualism etc. Everything is very rigid and everything has rules. Rules that cannot be broken. S

The Granthanda Competition

In the district of Nymlarii on the Elvish dimension of Laniakeea, there is a grand archery competition. It happens every three revolutions of Laniakeea's two moons, which is approximately equivalent to thirteen Earthan months. As a precursor, there are fourteen knockout competitions to decide the winners of each of the fourteen districts. Each team is comprised of three members, and the teams are generally all from the same Laniakeean family. So, the team colours and banners

How Exciting Is That?

I have now finished the first book of the trilogy, The Wand Chronicles. The working title of 'Book One' has now been set in stone as 'Elfistra the Sorceress'. A friend asked me how the book was going. I was about to start the final chapter, which is called 'The Decision', and without realising what I was saying, I told her, " It is so exciting, I can't wait to compose it." "Why?" she asked. And I said, "Because I know what's going to happen." ( This is where you can laugh, sn

Human being's in 3,500,000 years

Time for you to get creative. Close your eyes and imagine where we would be in another 3,500,000 years? Hugo, Ding Ling and Allana visit a dimension that can re-create anything. It has to be real, either from the past or way into the future. They find themselves coming across a species called the Humaas. Their DNA signature was created in exactly the same form as ours, but they were seeded into an entirely different dimension. Not just that, but were seeded 3,500,000 years be

The Mandaxon and the Pharaas : Part ii

There is a species of water Elf that live in an enormous and very deep lake on Laniakeea. At its deepest point it is over twelve miles deep, and there are colonies of these water elves happily living there. This lake is called Salnalyn Lake and is situated in the very north of Laniakeea in the district of Baeruu. This species of water Elf are called the Pharaas, and were rescued from their own dimension, where at one stage, were persecuted almost to extinction by a warring El

The Mandaxon and the Phaaras. Part I

There is trouble in the air in the Elvish dimension of Laniakeea. There is a dark species of Elf called the Mandaxon. They are a very tall species, in excess of seven feet tall, and completely covered in blue/black cloth. The cloth is straggly, not neat, so the outline of the Mandaxon is broken up, so they become harder to spot. They prefer to attack at dusk or night. Even each of their long fingers are wrapped up. The only part of the body visible are the ears, (very long El

The Good, The Bad and the Very Ugly : PartII

We have described a Human. Not a nice character do you agree? So what about on Laniakeea? I know I have mentioned it before, but I want to remind you, if I may, of the vast scale of Laniakeea compared to the Earth dimension. As an example, take a large map of the Earth, spread it out on a table. Let's just say the map is four foot by four foot. That's a big map, right? Now, get a biro, and find wherever it is in the world that you live, and just put a period or full stop mark

Good, The Bad, and the Very Ugly Part One

To have a well written book, I think you will agree, we need a diverse set of characters. Characters that you will fall in love with, characters that you will despise from the word go, and characters that bring humour into the melting pot. I mean that is life, right? And it needn't be Human characters, it can be alien characters as well, and in my books, we are talking Elves. I have to persuade the reader that although the culture, looks and way of life of an Elf is so forei

Now THIS is a wand!

There is a parallel dimension to our Earth. It is called Laniakeea. From the Elvish dialect, called Forlasath, it roughly translates as 'the immeasurable dimension'. And indeed it is. If we were to flatten out the Earth, it would appear as a mere dot on the expanse that is Laniakeea. It is diverse as it is immeasurable. In the North North West of Laniakeea, there is a district called Gareen. Dotted all over Gareen are twenty four portals, connecting Lanniakeea with other dim

Hero or heroine?

So I am in a quandry here, and I would like your help? As with every good book, whether it be drama, detective, a novel, non-fiction, and in this case, a Sci-Fi adventure, there will be a hero. Right? Yes, of course. But what sort of hero do I want? What sort of hero do you want?.I don't mean a goody or a baddy, I mean, a man or a woman?. Straight into the nitty gritty I am going. I feel I am going to be controversial? Sure. It's a little like being a politician, I'm going

A Believable EPIC Fantasy Adventure

When I set out with the idea of writing an epic fantasy trilogy, this was an adventure in itself You see, I didn’t want to offer a story that didn’t feel was real, with characters that were not properly thought about and researched. I have been an Actor for many years, and recently turned to writing, which I love, but when I was an Actor, one of my primary concerns and goals, was that I tried my level best to make my performance, the character I was portraying, as real as pos
