About Me

I am the author of the Wizards' Kingdom series... Check out my website and find out a lot more about me. www.colinrparsons.com ......................................................... My books are available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and can be bought or ordered in Waterstones and Borders. The second book in the trilogy is The Obelisk of Ashmar...and the third and final part of the trilogy is Jarrak's Darkness. WIZARDS' KINGDOM...The general story is about five wizards, living happily and running the kingdom. Lord Torsk, Zendal, Crasmont, Mydar and Evilan. Suddenly, Evilan decides he wants to rule and overthrows Lord Torsk and imprisons him in his own dungeon. The other three hear what has happened and try to bring peace back and the adventures begin.......................................... 'Wizards' Kingdom, is a story which begs to be read by the crackle and comfort of firelight. Fans of J RR Tolkien will feel instantly at home in rolling valleys, deep mines and amongst the legendary creatures. Colin R. Parsons invites young readers to begin a journey through his fantasy series with the relish of a skilful storyteller familiar with all things wonderfully Hobbiton.' Reviewed by John Lloyd Waterstones Bath.......................................... I am also looking for an agent so if you are interested please contact me. ....................................................... I am married to Janice and have two children Kristoffer and Ryan. I live in Wales in the UK and am passionate about writing. ........................................................ I have a complete new manuscript THE CURIOUS WORLD OF SHELLEY VENDOR, which I am trying to get a publishing deal for. It's a fantasy adventure of a teenage girl of the title. It's a fast and enjoyable paced story with twists and turns in abundance. Keep a look out for it in the future.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Philip Ardagh is a great comedy author and his books in the Unlikely Exploits series are fab. Angie Sage of Magyk and Flyte fame is also fantastic and a reader of my work has compared my writing to her's, which overwhelmed me. Kevin Spacey the actor and Patrick Stewart of Star Trek next generation fame would be wonderful wizards in my Wizards' Kingdom series. I am also a big Formula One fan and it's a great distraction from writing so I would really love to meet Michael Schumacher.
