Welcome to the realm of Epic fantasy - where you are only limited by your imagination!

Isador is an amalgamation of various fantasy worlds I've created (and abandoned) over the years. Unlike the others, it took on a life of its own. Isador developed into a continent with a long history of intolerance and war, populated by four races. When attackers from an unknown southern land invade Isador's southern coast, the continent is thrown into turmoil. Within a year, Isador stands on the brink, unable to resist the evil flooding across the land. Still, Isador's people cannot unify and each race is left to face the invaders alone. 

Although I wrote this novel as an epic adventure, to me its characters are what drive the story. Through writing I attempt to unravel the human condition. I love to explore how different people react to different situations. I love how complex we all are - how nothing is just black or white. No one is purely evil or good. It is our duality that makes us such fascinating subject matter for a writer.

This site has detailed information on Isador, its history and people, as well as excerpts from the novel. There is also an 'Articles on Writing' page - a useful resource for writers. If while browsing through these pages, Isador and its people capture your imagination, follow one of the many links to Equilibrium Books where you can purchase The Children of Isador.

I hope you enjoy reading this epic fantasy as much as I loved writing it!
