Myth, Storytelling & the Journey of a Writer
The blog tour continues, and it’s been great fun. Today I’m sharing a guest blog I wrote for my publisher, Cosmic Egg Books, which is a brand new imprint of John Hunt publishing. I put quite a bit of thought into this one, relating my creative process and the power and importance of mythology and its relationship to storytelling and why, as a culture we desperately need stories with depth and substance. Hope you find it insightful.
This Week Our Guest Blog is from Rory B Mackay, Author of Elad...

Sunday Surprise
Reblogged from creative barbwire (or the many lives of a creator):
And it's another guest! :) Yes, I'm finding excuses not to write on the blog - I better write my stories instead! :D Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Rory Mackay who kindly submitted to my writerly questions!
Where do you live and write from?
I live in a small town in the North East of Scotland called Cullen. It's right at the sea and is one of the most scenic and picturesque places along the Moray coast.

Book Review - Eladria by Rory B Mackay
Introduction: Eladria is a science fiction and fantasytale with strong mystical subtext. Everything kicks off when the ruling royal family of the planet Tahnadra is suddenly and savagely overthrown by the zealous religious order known as the Ha'shon. The teenage princess Eladria must flee her home on the royal moon which orbits Tahnadra and make her way to the planet's surface in order to escape the clutches of the brutal and misguided Ha'shon.
