The Deathlance Trilogy

A DARK FANTASY TRILOGY

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
This profile is for the promotion of The Deathlance Trilogy, a trilogy of dark fantasy novels written by James O'Toole. The three books of the series are:
Book One - The Wolves Of Balliron
Book Two - The Wildlands
Book Three - The Nightfall War
I'll be posting the first few chapters of The Wolves Of Balliron in the blog and all feedback and comments are welcome. I try to reply to as many as possible.
At this stage The Wolves of Balliron is complete and I am currently looking for a literary agent and publisher for the series. I also plan on producing some illustrations for the series as I am a graphic artist - click on my pic below and it will take you to my personal profile for artwork, design and music journalism.
If I have sent you a friend request chances are it's because you have listed one or more of my favourite fantasy or sci fi authors in your profile, such as Terry Brooks, David Eddings, Michael Moorcock, Raymond E. Feist, Glen Cook, Julian May, Morgan Llewellyn, Stephen Donaldson, William Gibson and of course J.R.R. Tolkien. If you like their books then we already have something in common and I think you will find The Deathlance Trilogy enjoyable.
Thank you to everyone who has sent messages, posted comments on my chapters and taken time to look at this story. Your encouragement, constructive criticism, interest and eagerness to read more is very inspiring. Thank you all!
