While ‘Over The Dragon’s Gate’ starts off a little slower than I’d usually like, this co-written story gives you enough hints, enough clues, and enough thoughtfully teased out tidbits to keep its readers engaged and invested.
Much like one of our main characters, Treya, there’s an underlying sense that there’s more to this than meets the eye, and the authors cleverly reveal it all to the reader alongside Treya as he discovers the parts of himself that he’s forgotten.

Thank you to the Writeblr Cafe for hosting an author interview with me over on Tumblr! The format was refreshing and I had fun chatting with you. What got you into writing? Honestly, I don't truly know. I've been telling stories since my earliest memories, so around the age of 2, where I'd pull out old second hand toys and use them as characters. The first time I remember actually writing down one of my stories, I was about 7 or 8, and wrote a story for class called "Rosie the Rabbit Goes On An Adventure". If you'd like to read the rest of the interview, head to Tumblr and check out
The Writeblr Cafe... Thank you so much to Sarah from The Reading Nook for hosting an author interview with me for the launch of Changeling! Tell us a little about yourself and what got you into writing?
I live in the South East of England with my cat, Litha, and am lucky enough to have my parents and older brother living nearby too. Straight out of highschool I trained as an IT Technician, but it was always intended to be a holdover job until I could get my work published. After college, I had some part time positions, but ultimately ill-health took me off the job market full time. I’ve only recently been able to claw my way back into writing regularly, and it’s culminated in my debut novel. I don’t really know of a time when I wasn’t telling stories. The first time I remember writing a complete story, I was about eight years old and I wrote ‘Rosie the Rabbit Goes on an Adventure’ for my english lesson, but I was telling stories much earlier than that, before I could write. I remember using old toys and bringing out a new one every time a new character turned up. I don’t recall if I was telling the story aloud, or just to myself in my head, but I must have been about 1 or 3 years old. I fell in love with books early, and storytelling has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. If you're familiar with the process, and want to read an early copy of Changeling then you can head on over to my googleform and sign up... "But wait, Ari! |
