Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I first started writing when I was 16. It was a full-length fantasy novel that took me four years to finish. As yet I have never tried to get it published, but I go back to it every now and then.
What is your latest book about?
My latest and debut novel is 'Reaper's Challenge'.

It is set in the city of Kavernhive, a city that is protected by powerful magic that stops people from being killed at night. It takes the form of glowing orange orbs that are known as The Haze. The magic of Kavernhive is about to be disrupted, a dark wizard has learned how to kill at night, breaking The Haze's magic.

It is up to The Blades, an elite group of guards to stop him before people start to panic that The Haze will no longer protect them.

The story is mostly from the point of view of Tren, the newest addition to The Blades. We follow them on their investigation that takes them into a bloody battle against assassins, their own people, and even gods.

It is a fast paced story with plenty of action. I really enjoyed writing it and am happy with the feedback I have received from my fans.

Reaper's Challenge has been released by my publishers on Smashwords and can be found here:
