Interview with the Author

Q - So, what makes Bound to Survive (Book 1 in the Magic Within Series) special?

A - It's a mix of things, really. When I set out to write this book, I wanted to create something that I loved. The exact kind of book I wanted to read. My top picks are usually the coming of age quests, any of the thousands of sword and sorcery fantasy best sellers, and, of course, books featuring your classic heroes. Basically, anything with magic and a fast-paced style gets my vote.

Q – Are you writing any other books?

A – Yes! I’m currently writing a prequel and sequel.
Resurrection of an Empire, Book 2 of the Magic Within Series and Beginnings, the prequel.
The prequel novel will take you back to a time before magic and sorcery existed, to a time where Kings ruled men. A story of how magic came to the wizards.
I’m excited about both these books. Being able to create witches and wizards, treachery and mayhem and write another depth into the world I’ve created is a truly amazing experience. One that I know you will love.

Overall, the Magic Within series is designed to keep you turning the pages - and I've made sure there's never a dull moment.

thanks for reading!
