My Interests



"This is a story tellers tale that moves in and out deftly. If you're looking for a new Fantasy author or just want something new, I recommend Prisoners Welcome..." -Joe Lawson author of "The Calm Before the Storm

I'd like to meet:

“A Prisoner’s Welcome is a pretty heft book at 553 pages in length and perfect bound with a pretty good quality. It was daunting in places to read, mainly I had it out on my bed table for a few weeks before I got to finishing it, but overall, I was very glad I did.” -Moonfire Reviews

"Moore takes us on a whirlwind ride with politics. deceit, trickery, and backstabbing on a grand scale. You soon discover that young Lance is not the hero of the story, he is in fact the prophetic villain!" -Mark Adler LBC

wiseguys.co.uk

"I think the things that people are most going to enjoy about this story (and based on comments I've read, I'm right on this point) are the morality of the characters and the labyrinthine plot." -John Beachem; "Storms of Vengeance"
