Writer missing in action - found!
Latest News
A writer who has been missing in action has been found. He was isolated in his home, apparently having been forced to remain indoors by the New Zealand government.
He was also discovered to have written a new novella which will soon be released to the public. The alleged title of this novella is Gone Wonder Land (which seems appropriate given his situation).
Further details follow.

"Wow! What an amazing experience - I listened to this book on Audible with Juliette Stevenson narrating, and was absolutely swept away! This is a stunning Dickensian fairy tale/mythology with so many well drawn characters to love (and hate). The image"

Accidental Illegal Immigrants:
"Very funny. When I saw that one of the main characters is called 'Major B.S.' I knew I was about to read a hilarious book. The major is really unlikeable - a bigot in parts, if you can see the funny side of poking fun at idiots like this then you wil"

of
The Siege of Skyhold (Mage Errant #5):
"I'm not gonna say much, because it's hard not to spoil things otherwise, but The Siege of Skyhold contains probably the most insane, epic battle I've read in fantasy.
I guess it's not a spoiler to say that there's a siege in this. It's in the title, " Read more of this review » |

“Traumatic events can be compared to facing a demon pitcher on the baseball diamond. Life tells us we have to take a swing at the ball, but engaging this demon comes with consequences. If you make first base, you’ll feel the need to sleep. Not so bad. Second, you’ll want to forget it all happened. Don’t we all? But third base brings the onset of madness and if you step off the plate there’s only death. In the great game of life, sometimes it’s better to strike out than hit a home run. After all, you can relax in the Dugout with friends until you’re ready to knock the demon out of the park.”
