The Legend of El Shashi

The Legend of El Shashi
A fantasy tale with an unusual, challenging plot, The Legend of El Shashi follows the story of a man who betrays his friend to a sorceress. The sorceress curses him with great power - the power to heal with a touch. But his every healing feeds her burrowing, ravaging Wurm, a storehouse of magic which she will use to her own evil ends. Every time he performs a selfish act, the Wurm rises to chase him for twice as long as before.

What if you could never be selfish? Could you live with such a great curse, which is also a gift?

At once an exploration of the power of miraculous healing on the human condition, the impact of grief and redemption on a selfish man, and the dangers, limits, and uses of power, The Legend of El Shashi is a story that will stick with you long after you turn the last page.

Come and experience The Legend of El Shashi on Amazon now.

Llámame Dragón: Es lo último que harás en tu vida (Spanish Edition - Call me Dragon)  ( El ascenso del Dragón de fuego nº 1 )  Blitz el Devastador nunca ha hecho nada digno de su especie en su vida. Sin fuego, un artista marginado y rechazado por su clan de dragones, le cuesta incluso saquear hasta la aldea más mezquina. Le espera un futuro lleno de miseria y fracaso.

Como princesa negra de T'nagru, esta animosa belleza es por definición la mujer más inolvidable de los diecisiete reinos.

Pernicious pirates and devious Dragons!  Today's the big day as Thundersong and Azania wing off on another unexpected, hilarious adventure - scouring the Lumis Ocean in search of pirates most pernicious. Unexpected dangers and new friends await. A short extract: The lad could only shake his head. “You two are quite mad, did you know that?” “We prefer the word ‘creative’,” Azania suggested. “Dragon?” Landing near the cove side of the column, he padded forward until they could all peer over the edge. Gazdonl said, “Three buildings. Three rounds of oil?” “Exceptional service, Gazdonl,” Azania beamed. “He certainly has potential,” the Dragon purred. “Crossing oceans and barbaric acts of arson are but the beginning of your training, my fine young soldier.” The lad laughed awkwardly. Cracking open the top of the small barrel with his dagger, Gazdonl measured out one third of the barrel to douse each wooden building, with the care of a baker ensuring that his batter received its

To me, 2021 feels like a year in which international news is depressing and good news is very hard to come by. If you are going through a tough time, my thoughts are with you. That's one reason I chose to write the Call me Dragon series - a largely lighthearted, humorous fantasy which does address some topical issues, but with levity, I hope! Today I am delighted to announce the release of the third and final volume in the hilarious misadventures of a Dragon called Dragon, who had the good fortune to kidnap himself a black Princess. Of course, he had no idea what he was taking on ... Thunder o Dragon finds this mismatched pair taking on the might of the Skartunese war host together with an unlikely cast of friends. Sea Dragons knocking about in the desert? An old gladiator Dragon with a love of rolling over his enemies? A bloodthirsty, sharpshooting Princess with an even sharper tongue? It's time to ROAR with laughter! Thunder o Dragon is available in all Kindle Stores and o
