ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Graduated from Leeds University with a degree in Law, but hankered after the life I remembered as a boy growing up in the North of England on my father's farm. These memories drove me to follow in my fathers footsteps, and I began making a living off the land as a farmer. I have always had a deep seated interest in the art of story telling which led eventually to my first novel "RHAMIN" being released in July 2010. It went straight to number one in the Welsh Books Council's 'Top Ten Bestselling Children's Books List' and won the Welsh Books Council's Publisher's award for "The Bestselling Children's Book from Wales 2012".
My second novel, "LUCY LOCKHART: the awakening" was published in October 2011. RHAMIN II: "Blue Tooth" was released in 2012 in both hard copy and on Kindle and my most recent novel, "THE LAST SPELL" already on Kindle, is to be released in hard copy in 2013.
Rhamin

Survival of his pack drives Rhamin the Black Wolf to raid a farm for food with disastrous consequences. Wolves die and in order to prevent further bloodshed, Rhamin resorts to desperate measures. The relationship that grows between the farmer's family and the pack will not only effect their fate but ultimately that of Rhamin himself.

My Review
 I enjoyed this book the physic link between the wolves, animal and boy. The way that a pack works and communicates and the laws that bind them. It was a heart warming story. In some parts the excitement of what was Rhamin going to do to make things right and how the farmer and his family react to Rhamin kept you wanting to know more.
I enjoyed this book and  by the end of the book i wanted to know more and was looking forward to the equal book to be written it was a disappointment knowing that there was no squeal yet. To my suprise i have just found out that Rhamin 2 the blue tooth was relased in 2012 book review to follow once Ive bought it and read it. 



 Lucy Lockhart 
the awakening.
A coma and emergency surgery change Lucy in an unexpected way. In a story that brings together Lucy Lockhart's suddenly acquired but unusual skills with the dark, paranormal abilities of her new found friend loanne, the result is a journey of exploration and discovery so full of danger, excitement, fear and drama that it will transform the lives of both the girls for ever.

My Review 
This book was different form Rhamin, Its about two girls exploring and getting mixed up with the wrong people and putting there lives and parents lives into an arkward situation. but on the other hand manage to save a strangers life. The conection between the two girls ia automatic like they have always known eachother and Lucy's mum's concern for her is great until she goes to stay with the doctor and his daughter.

I enjoyed this book it was sertanly different but it dosent come close to Rhamin. 



The Last spell
 
A fortune hunter, a witch, a mad scientist, a homicidal ship's captain and a megalomaniac. Not much in common except that, in 1854, as each one tries to control their own destiny, they will all permanently alter the lives of the others. Unfortunately each one's future depends on possessing The Seal, and all of their futures depend on one or more of their adversaries dying. The mad scientist, Hansenger has unwittingly unleashed a source of power that will eventually eat up their world and destroy the remaining seven surviving witches.
The Seal, however, unknown to Henri, is linked solely to him. Its five sectors have their own influence on their master, and surprisingly each sector is controlled by a small being called a Marox. The five Marox, Henri and Winifred the witch have no option but to set out to destroy the source of power unleashed by Hansenger or die trying.


My Review
 This book is about a man who comes across a magic seal and with in it are small creachers with there own  special abilities, It was fate that brought him and this seal together. Ten fate also brings together the main charicter  and the young girl who is destined to fall in love with him. together they save reality as they know it and with a little help from the seal. 

I enjoyed this book the different realities, the conection between the charicters and the conection and the way that the seal brought everyone together let alone the twist in the story where there lives could be at risk right form the beginning its full of action and adventure and really has you using your imagination.  I was disaponted to find out that i could not buy this book from amazon as a paper back only on the kindle.


 Blue Tooth ( Rhamin Trilogy)

When Ben and Margo's cousin turns up at the farm it means trouble. Thirteen year old Elsie does not intend making life easy for the family and certainly has no intention of getting swept up in the whole senseless wolf business. Wolves and people just do not communicate with their minds. But when they become embroiled in Rhamin's life or death fight for survival, it turns out not to be just the wolves' battle. The whole family is propelled into a torrent of perilous events where wolves and children depend on each other for survival. Pursued by one enemy, wolves and children fail to reckon on all the others, and when they are cornered by their pursuers it becomes unclear just who are Rhamin's enemies. Splitting up so that some may survive means that some will ultimately die. In the end it is the enemies of the Rhamin pack that decide.

Blue Tooth is the second novel in the Rhamin Series


My Review. 

 This book was action packed right for beginning to end I felt for the wolf pack who had men, bear and wolfs coming for them form left right and center and the new addition to the family was a nice touch. Along with these dangers the family who lived at the farm also had men after then unknown to why by the family and was only told towards the last 2-3 chapters of the book. I really liked the relationships that built up between the bear and the wolf pack. All I want to know now is there going to be a Rhamin 3? How does the young cub get on with his new pack how does the new family member get on with her new country life. Do the men come back for the girl does the other wolf pack come back for revenge on Rhamin's pack.

If you enjoyed Rhamin and Brice Thomas other books your going to love this book
