Whispers in the Magic
Book one in The Chronicles of Mana
I am deep into writing the first book in my fantasy series that follows the lives of the young people of Backwater and Maravin. I’m purposefully not going to go into a lot of detail because I have a big mouth, and don’t want to ruin a story that people will be able to read in the new year. The story is full of fantasy, magic, the sickness of a world, and the coming-of-age story of the main characters.
Fantasy has always been a huge interest of mine. I remember being a teenager and working my first job at a supermarket. When it was quiet and there were no customers, I would sit and read. I read all of Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and many others. Sometimes I would be told off for reading but these early years of reading did a lot to help with the worlds I create today. My earliest writing when I could hold a pencil and scribble on a pad my Mum gave me, was all about witches and cats.
Whispers in the Magic is really my first proper, edited, and formed novel. It’s meant to be part of a trilogy of books for the main story, however there will be stories that branch off from the main one. Each book is meant to flesh out the universe of TCOM and provide more material for me to work from. In time, I may adapt some of these books or original materials into books that can be used for gaming groups that might wish to use the universe and characters in a DnD campaign.
Anyway, there’s an introduction to what this is. High fantasy, vast worlds, different lands, people, countries, and good guys and bad guys. I’ll give updates and perhaps the first chapter when I feel that it’s edited enough for me to show it.
