November 17, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Needless to say; if you’ve not read the first two books of the Warlocks of Talverd then this reading contains spoilers. If you’re a fan of the series then what could be better than author K.V. Johansen reading from the Warden of Greyrock herself.

November 5, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A few authors, however, have an extra special tug on the marketing budget and Stephen King’s one of them. It’s said that he’d tried to finish Under the Dome before […]
