Men of Winterland stand tall
While all around kingdoms fall
Embrace your steel, prepare your steed
Ride to place of direst need
Fear not the path you tread
Fill thine enemies with dread
The Wolves of Winter we call
Ride forth to save us all
The Wolves of Winter.... Coming soon to this website.

For those of you returning to the site, welcome back. I've done some further research on the demise of the Colonel, Sandbach's recently deceased town cat - well my wife did some digging actually at the hairdressers on the square. Salon staff confirm that the Colonel is buried beneath the new cobbles, a fitting resting place where he can forever watch over those who took him in.
In the meantime, I have just commissioned some art work from the excellent folk at Design Office in Crewe as we work towards making hard copies of A Shadow Falls available for purchase. More details to follow soon.
Long Live the Elves!

After a doing little digging, I now have the facts on the sad demise of the Sandbach town cat. The Colonel, as he was named by the folk who work and live on and around the cobbles, was only five years old when he succumbed to health problems, which had 'dogged' him since kittenhood.
Attempts by the local vet to cure the Colonel failed and sadly he recently passed away. There is a theory amongst the staff at Bridgfords that the Colonel was saddened by the tearing up of the square to re-set the cobbles, and that his spirit faded as the renovation work began. According to local sources, he has now been laid to rest beneath the new earthworks in the square, so that his spirit may watch over the citizens of Sandbach for years to come.
I shall now be changing the name of the cat in my new novel The Mirror of His Soul from 'Alfie' to 'The Colonel' in honour of Sandbach's most famous furry citizen.
Long live the Colonel! I'm sure there's a story to be told in full here. Watch this space...
In the meantime, why not relax over half-term with a free book - download book one of the epic Song of the Elves saga, A Shadow Falls today from this website.
A few weeks back I paid tribute to the Sandbach town cat gone missing presumed dead - or is he?
The other night, following a few delightful hours amongst great company in the L.C., I set off back into the biting cold night and as I left the cobbles saw a familiar shape emerging from the rear of the Bear on the Square. An old moggy, looking worse for wear but very much alive scampered across my path - in the dark I couldn't be sure, but it looked to me very much like the feline friend of Sandbach seen so often in Bridgfords window. I could be wrong, but does the Sandbach Town cat live on?
I will investigate further. Meanwhile, we are in the process of preparing to put a sample chapter of The Mirror of His Soul on the website - the final draft just needs a few minor tweaks.
I'm aiming to bring The King's Blades, book two of The Song of the Elves to you by autumn. Hang in there!
More news soon on how you can buy a hard copy of A Shadow Falls - although don't forget the book is yours for free as a download from this website.
