Deemed One of the Top 10 indie Fantasy releases of 2010 by Fantasy Book Critic, and listed in the first ever Publishers Weekly Indie Select issue, the original 235k word epic title was written in longhand in a Texas prison cell by M. R. Mathias.
Born of their seeds, kingdom will rise against kingdom, one will hold great mysteries, one will turn the tide and one will not be bound. War is fought, not only on the field but also within the mind. Nothing is what it seems take nothing for granted.
I am the Scribe, he who has been given the task of putting the many Tales of Tanglewood to paper, so that the history of the 'wood may always be available to all of the fey who require it.
Background
Information
I have always been a writer, since the days of early childhood, when I was first able to put my dreams into words.
Many years have passed since those days, and until now, I saw fit to happily labor away at a multitude of short stories and longer story ideas, with the idea in mind that I would one day publish a collection.
I am proud of all my stories, but The Tales of Tanglewood is not just a story. It is the culmination of many years worth of dreams. It is a wish upon a star, glowing brightly in the midnight sky. It is a childhood fantasy of wonder and magic brought to life.
Partially inspired by my love for fantasy and folklore, and also my love for my wife, whose ideas contributed to much of the story, I would hope that anyone who reads it can feel the same magic I felt when writing it.
