First in a fantasy

For 10 years, I have been pursuing a dream that started as a hobby. I have been using any spare time I found, using any money I earned to achieve it. During the first five years of university, I wrote the first and second books. I attended a Shire Writer’s Festival in 2017 and pursued being published by talking to a publisher.

After being rejected six months later in 2018, I lost sight of the dream when I didn’t hear back from other publishers. When my ideal career was becoming more difficult to get, I returned to writing and worked on a third book, hoping that a series would sell better. When Covid put us in lockdown, I had more time to write and got more work done.

Come 2022, I decided that if I couldn’t get my ideal career and accepted that fate, I would pursue my other dream on my own, with time, money and a lot of thought, stress and joy. I put my first book out there online for everyone. What started as a small idea grew into a whole world.

Age of the Immortal, Book One of the Immortal Legacy Series, is available on Amazon and other platforms. I hope to have paperback copies to sell to anyone who wishes to buy them in the near future.
