edit data

Despite the connection between his first name and that of Merlin, Myrddin has had to reluctantly accept that he is neither a wizard nor a magician. He does, however, harbour a deep love of fantastical tales, and if imbued with a twist of sinister, macabre darkness then so much the better.

Myrddin Young lives in Hampshire, UK, with his wife, teenage son, a rather demented dog and an overactive imagination.

When not writing, he tries to manage a tempestuous relationship with guitar playing which stretches back over many years.

I have been thinking back to how it started, so I thought I would share a little about how the story came together in the dark Read more of this blog post »
