A Wizard’s Words of Encouragement

On December 8, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

If you're a regular visitor to this site and have already read my two posts Set on a Pilgimage and A Delayed Departure you'll already be aware that I'm a big fan of Tolkien's classic novel, 'The Lord of the Rings'. You'll know, too, that I regularly follow in the footsteps of Frodo and his …

A Delayed Departure

On November 30, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

In my post of August 10 I announced that I was set on a pilgrimage, one which I also confidently declared would commence the following month. Such was my certainty, I was quite specific about the date: The twenty-third of September. If you've not yet read that offering, you may wish to do so before …

Set on a Pilgrimage

On August 10, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

In harvest-time, harvest-folk, servants and all, should make, all together, good cheer in the hall; And fill out the black bowl of blythe to their song, O! let them be merry all harvest-time long. It is August. Here in England our feathered migrant visitors are fidgety. Resident counterparts, their summer moult almost complete, are beginning …

‘The Flight of the Sparrow’

On August 8, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

Deepdale led Levi down the narrow street and halted outside a ramshackle, timber-fronted structure. The fox ranger took care to hold his russet brush-tail above the street’s filth, though the hem of his frock coat trailed, leaving a track in his wake. Leaning buildings loomed either side of them, their gables drawn together high above, …

More than a Title

On August 4, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

Today I upload Chapter Thirteen of my debut novel for young readers, 'The Door to Caellfyon'. This is the book's final chapter. It is not, however, the end of the story. When I completed my first draft back in 2015, my initial flush of satisfaction at completing this, my largest project to date, was tempered …

Game On!

On July 18, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

Today I add here the penultimate chapter of 'The Door to Caellfyon', my novel for young readers. I apologise for the tardiness of this latest instalment. The role of political activist and freedom fighter can be a tad busy at times and, with the UK's puppet-government once again playing the role of silly buggers, last …

The Dark Waters

On July 16, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is the fear of the unknown.Howard Phillips Lovecraft I have been a fan of horror fiction and movies for many years. Of the two I much prefer fiction. The written word coupled with human imagination is far more …

What’s in a Name?

On July 2, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

In her excellent manual for would-be novelists Donna Levin covers all those elements you'd expect to see in such a guide, including the subject of originality. In support of her sound advice she includes a quote from American author Rita Mae Brown: 'Rita Mae Brown said, "The novel is a work of a single, unified …

“It’s your voice,” he said

On June 26, 2021December 15, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

Following my previous brief foray into the dark and sordid world of politics, current affairs and crimes against humanity, this post sees a welcome return to the more palatable subject of fiction writing. It also accompanies the long-overdue upload of a further instalment of my children's novel, The Door to Caellfyon. In Chapters Nine and …

Getting to Know You

On June 13, 2021December 26, 2021 By Steve WandLeave a comment

Characters are people who just happen to live in stories and books.Jesse Lee Kercheval It is said that fiction is about people. If you don’t have good characters you don’t have good fiction. Story characters must think, aspire, love, cry and feel pain (or cause it). They're expected to perform heroic deeds, or perhaps base …
