A Land of Darkness drowns in despair.

It's called My Office.

When I'm not typing manifests, I churn out fantasy books no-one reads.

Less Young Adult, more MAD: Middle Aged Disappointment.

So, when I'm gifted a magic book for Secret Santa, I can't believe my luck.

One miserable 'Once Upon a Time' later and I'm marooned on a frozen mountain, heaving with weirdos, biting each other's throats.

The Snake's oily,

The Eagle's bald,

The Bear's accident prone,

My 'Handsome Prince' is more cheesed off Wolf, busy scratching,

and

I've no idea who the Villain is (unless it's me).

Worst of all...

I've no way home and the Mangy Wolf's got the hots for me.

Growing old is no fairytale.

Praise for A Wolf So Grim And Mangy

...humorous fantasy the way it should be written. Hands...]]> Sat, 11 Nov 2023 23:40:57 +0200 https://business.library.land/caroline-noe/656746-canellian_eye.html https://business.library.land/caroline-noe/656746-canellian_eye.html

Destiny can be savage

The towering monolith of Erulia's Prophecy stood for millennia in the watery paradise of Canellia, its dire warning unheeded.

That time is long past.

In the wake of dying twin suns, this generation faces extinction under the onslaught of an Ice Age.

Then, in the depths of despair, a child is born, bearing a singular birthmark: the symbol of their foretold saviour, Jehul's Eye.

Quaylan leads young survivors in an audacious leap into the stars, searching for their own Promised Land, ever certain of his identity.

But what if he's wrong?

Praise for Canellian Eye: Prophecy

A gripping read that compels you to keep turning the pages even when you're afraid of what they will reveal

I can't even express how wonderfully complex and masterfully written this novel is

It feels very current and very relatable given the times we live...]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2023 16:52:00 +0300 https://business.library.land/caroline-noe/666324-a_song_of_mange_and_poison.html https://business.library.land/caroline-noe/666324-a_song_of_mange_and_poison.html

It was all going so well...

But I might have guessed a dark side sequel was on the horizon.

No sooner had this Menopausal Madam nabbed her Mangy Wolf, and the jumbled pack of wolves, bears, snakes and an eagle howled their way to a Happy Ever After, than up pops the Messenger of the Alpha of Alphas, announcing the imminent arrival of the stinky Southern Pack.

A shed load of furry trouble descends, chief of whom being Curt's Auntie Yelena, known as Yellfire to her enemies.

I'm one of them, apparently.

Before you can say ruffle my fur, we're paw deep in backstabbing, arson, poison and attempted murder.

Everyone's heart is in danger, especially mine.

Don't turn your back. Don't turn tail.

It was always going to end up epic.

Just when my mixed pack have simmered down and entered into a tentative alliance, the unthinkable descends.

Over the mountain, clasped in the claws of mesmerised eagles, comes the Serpent Hoard, led by their monstrous, fire breathing king, intent on grabbing The Storyteller and my cremated magic book.

Our pack's only hope of survival rests on a barking mad mage cat with nifty jazz paws.

If it's not dilapidated castles and homicidal mould, it's portals and vortexes.

If I don't figure out the difference, I'll be thrown back to Earth and a showdown with my own imagination, because...

The greatest battle is in the mind.
