Realism with a sprinkle of magic

[David]

I'm new to the group and would like to introduce the three ebook fantasy novels I have published to date:

Fuel to the Fire and Ruler's Desire are books one and two of a trilogy. I am currently writing book three.

Alloria is my latest release, and in two weeks has been very well recieved.

Hope you're intrigued enough to check them out.

Cheers, David :~)

All three books have received excellent reviews, including five stars each from a respected goodreads reviewer.

Read them here:

This might be a point to mention Ignite's blog, she has a blog where she mentions books she's read.
But she only really mentions those worth a five star review, so they are the cream ;-)

She is also someone who loves fantasy

Anything for an easy life :-)

[David]

Are none of the other usual suspects around here, Jim?

[Jim]

No, it's awfully peaceful :-)

[David]

Of course, Will's a horror writer now

[Jim]

Is horror a subgenre of fantasy or is fantasy a subgenre of horror? ;-)

[David]

I think horror is a subgenre of life :~/

[Jim]

I've never really read much horror (and somehow I find a lot of horror films 'formulaic') but I think moments of 'horror' might work better slipped into a book in a different genre (if that makes sense)

[David]

It does make sense, and I agree. To be honest horror films, for me, end up being comedies.

[Jim]

I think that the most effective horror can work like Greek tragedy worked, with the violence normally happening 'off stage'. So Oedipus blinds himself, but off stage and comes back blind, you don't get the gore.

I'm delighted to announce that has just been awarded the indiePENdents seal of approval: http://indiependents.org/indie-seal-b...

congratulations!

Thanks Jim
