The Wightblade Chronicles

WELCOME TO MY BOOKS

THE WIGHTBLADE CHRONICLES:

This is the collective name for the series of books set in the fantasy world of Terra Nostra. It is a planet with mythical links to Earth, passed down from the dawn of its ancientology (history). Terra Nostra is centered around Ephaleon, the Hoardlands of Dukedomberg and the Heredian Islands. The rest is mostly unexplored, though alluded to in some old mysterious maps. In chronological terms, the first book begins in 1821 MCO (Modern Cycle-of-Octaves). It is set in an approximate medieval/renaissance society, with its own unique twists and, of course, magic. Kinsfolks live alongside elves, dwarves, fairies, halflings and many others.

The story centres on a group of individuals at the Academium (University) of Ventorium in Ephaleon and their adversaries.

So, how best to describe the Chronicles of Wightblade? Epic Fantasy created by in depth world building, quirky by nature, combining magic, adventure, excitement, romance and much more besides.

THE CHANGE OF REIGNS - Book Four of the Wightblade Chronicles is the latest in the series to be released as eBook and paperback. See the Wighblade Chronicles page for details.

NEWS & EVENTS

Here you can find the latest news, events and updates

Hi, just bringing you up to date with the latest. As the year turns from winter to spring, so does the season of events in the book world. In my case that means I have decided to enter more competitions. One is with the Book Dragon Literary awards with a book - A.I.M.E and a short story, 'Waiting for Coincidence."

In Scotland I have entered a short story to the Cymera Festival in Edinburgh. I will have to keep the wraps on that one; suffice to say Cymera is for fantasy, sci-fi and horror.

The biggest one of all again involves A.I.M.E but this time in the Page Turner Awards 2025. The photograph is me wishing me success!

For the day to day, I'm continuing to hard edit The Train Demon, now at CH40 out of 69 and doing a few pages a week typing up Book 5 of the Wightblade Chronicles. Finally, thank you to the reviewer with the remarks below.
