Hello all, and a belated Happy New Year.
          
          Thank you very much for following me here and I'm glad you liked The Sword of Wisimir. 
          
          As you can see from my profile, you can find the two sequels on Amazon, if you want to read them.
          
          In the meantime, I'm writing some more episodic stories for the Elite Dangerous Roleplaying Game. If you're a fan of Elite Dangerous, Science Fiction and space ships, come and find us over on the Kickstarter. The story episodes are updates  -  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edrpg/elite-dangerous-role-playing-game
          
          Thanks again, and glad you enjoyed the story.
          
          Allen.

Hello Everyone,
          
          Apologies for my lack of wattpadding over the last couple of months. Unfortunately, my father passed away after a long and difficult illness. The funeral was just over a week ago and I'm still in the process of organising his affairs.
          
          However, hopefully I'll have more time around here in the future. 
          
          Firstly, good news! Wisimir is making its way over to Smashwords! Some of you have mentioned you'd prefer not to buy stuff from Amazon, which I understand, so finally this weekend when I had a bit of time, I managed to get the ebook of Dragon of Wisimir submitted and approved in the premium catalogue. That means it'll be distributed by Smashwords to all the other ebook suppliers, so if you're an iBook fan, a Kobo reader or anything else, you can pick up the sequel for a very reasonable price.

          I'm a little behind on Wisimir Book 4 - The Magic of Wisimir. However, it will come out as soon as its ready and that won't be a massive delay from the last deadline of 'end of 2016'. Spring 2017 is now likely. 
          
          In the meantime, this week an anthology of short stories, entitled "The Door" has just been published. This is work produced by my students and I. I did the final editing and included a short story - "Five Kinds of People", but really the collection is worth reading for their excellent work. You can find it here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Door-Anthology-University-Buckinghamshire-Anythology-ebook/dp/B01N8UKJU5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479119733&sr=8-1&keywords=buckinghamshire+new+university
          
          In addition to this, I've been appointed Chair of Fantasycon 2017 and 2018. For those that don't know, Fantasycon is a big convention of writers, readers and publishers held in September/October every year. Its great fun, and I'm organising the event with my partner and a brilliant team of volunteers. 
          
          I'm also working on one or two other projects and hope to bring some new stuff to Wattpad soon.
          
           By for now,
          
          Allen.

Hello Everybody.
          
          One month since my last excited message when I'd just joined the Featured list and thanks to all of you, The Sword of Wisimir is still going strong near the top. Its been quite a journey on Wattpad so far and I'm really pleased to be here. All the constructive, helpful and positive comments have been brilliant in enthusing me to continue the series and work on book 4.
          
          For those of you who haven't seen and want to continue reading about the adventures of Jack Von Drey and Magister Leel, The Dragon of Wisimir and The Lord of Wisimir are both available on Amazon.  
          
          In addition to this, some time on the 8th of September, the ebook version of The Sword of Wisimir will be free to download from Amazon for your Kindle, so if you want a copy in that format, you'll be able to get it for no cents and no pence ;) 
          
          If you enjoyed the read, please do recommend the book to friends.
          
          Allen.

Huge congratulations on finally getting featured ( better late than never, right?)
          
          It's amazing to see how The Sword of Wisimir has progressed since it's been added to the featured list! I do plan on finishing the rest of the story once I'm done with all of my stuff, which shouldn't be long now. Something for me to look forward to! :D

Please follow me back :)

Hello Everyone!
          
          Welcome to the world of Wisimir! I hope you're enjoying the first book - The Sword of Wisimir, fully serialised in 41 parts on Wattpad. Please do feel free to comment, review and message if there's anything here that interests you.
          
          The Sword of Wisimir has two sequels which are available on Amazon as well in ebook and paperback formats. They are part of a six novel series and I'm currently writing book 4 - The Magic of Wisimir. 
          
          
          So far, Wattpad's been a great experience for me in getting Wisimir to a wider audience. If what you've read interests you enough, please do check these out. Also, if you feel inclined to leave a review on Amazon, then please do. Every little comment, good or bad, encourages me to continue the series. 
          
          We also have a facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/Wisimir/
          
           Have a great evening and enjoy reading!
          
          Allen.

Congratulations for getting featured on Wattpad! (I love your books.) 

Morning all.
          
          As of today, all three of the Wisimir books are now available in paperback. 
          
          I'm should have book 4 complete this year too, so now's the time to catch up! ;)
          
          Allen.

Hey man I was wondering if you had thought to enter your work in the Watty Awards this year? It's very good and probably has a good chance of winning :)

Thank you so much for following. :D
