The first fantasy book that inspired me was Lord of the Rings, although I read many books of myths and legends as a child. I read all of Tolkien's other works avidly, as they was published. Once into the 'groove,' I read authors such as Stephen Donaldson, Anne McCaffrey, E. R. Eddison, and John Wyndham. I was also influenced by readng he Icelandic Sagas, Thomas Mallory, The Mabinogion and Arthurian Tales. As a result I have written a nine book series which I am self publishing.
