“The author wastes no time throwing us into the action as the the book begins. It sets the tone for a thrilling and immersive tale of fantasy adventure. It's a rather fast read. I found myself disappointed when the book came to an end as I wanted to follow the hero Malspire's adventure further.”

"Not that many books grip you from the first paragraph, this one did and it did not let go till the end. This is a very well written book with lots of depth, yet easy to follow."

First Amazon Review

I just got the first Amazon.com review. I hope it is one of many but there will always be the first.

Since publishing the book, sales have been better than expected. Of course one dreams of a run away success, but being realistic, I have to say that I have a lot of friends out there.

Thanks to everyone who has downloaded it!

Another reader found an error so I will be editing the book soon. No changes -  just spelling and grammar. No matter how much editing went into it, I guess a few bugs slipped through.

Malspire is a fantasy novel. It is wide open for more to come. More sea battles, creatures of the Other and adventres. I am working on the plot for a second Malspire book, but before I write it, I am finishing off a novella inspired by Lovecraft's Cthulhu.

Malspire goes live

At long last, after years of work my book, Malspire is available to buy.
