While the second of the Chronicles – Bella of the Whispering World – is taking shape, here are some short excerpts from the early chapters… Hopefully soon to be joined by others!

With the history and the world of the Chronicles having taken shape over the past couple of years, uploaded now are some selected passages from parts One, Two, Three, Four and Five of the primer in which all the background and detail of the world is recorded (this primer being From Silence, the Song – for the summary of which, see here…).

Selected passages for part Six (the final part of From Silence, the Song) to be uploaded soon…

(Update: Part Six now uploaded as well…)

Take a look – here – at the very first map of Lourne – Indeed the very first thing ever drawn, written, or otherwise recorded concerning the world and the history of the Chronicles…

Selected passages from Magic’s Heart have been uploaded, giving an insight into the feel of the book for those who are yet to read it, or a reminder of the journey for those who have already walked it.

And so, having been away for some time, hello again!

And though the lack of updates here would suggest otherwise, these past months have not been unproductive with regards to the building and the telling of the Chronicles. A vast amount of work has now gone into the history of the world, and this site will be seeing a number of changes and additions over the coming days as a result.

To begin with, here is the new introduction to the World of the Núminway Chronicles section…

Lots more to follow soon. And as always, if you have any questions or there is anything in particular you would like to learn more about, please let me know!

With the front cover for Magic’s Heart finally done, I’m very, very pleased to say I have started making good headway with the next of the Chronicles, Bella of the Whispering World.

All being well, I’m aiming to have the tale written, re-written, proofed, edited, and published by the Summer…

Very excited to reveal the new front cover, inspired by the artwork of Jennifer Lea and beautifully designed / produced by the fantastic James Willis at SpiffingCovers…

Thanks for visiting the Núminway, and welcome!

The site is still currently very much a work-in-progress – please follow and check back soon for updates, or in the meantime find me on Facebook, Twitter, or Goodreads, or feel free to get in touch if you have any queries I haven’t yet answered.
