These aren’t the typical How To Write A Book books, these are well researched, in-depth looks at things you never stopped to think about. Like, what did Aragorn […]

So, this is a story I’ve been mulling over for quite a long time, but it’s taken until now for the right shape and form to appear. Those of you who’ve had the privilege (*snort*) of reading anything in the Mercury story world will recognise the main character, Deviran – only in this story he’s

I think, when I did my mini book reviews the other week, I did not adequately ramble about the brilliance and amazingness that is The Curiosities. Really. You should read it.
