The novel begins in the 1970’s when a young man discovers girls for the first time. Todd Preston joins a group of D&D players. It just so happens that Helen, his love interest, not only plays D&D but is The Game Master running the show. Helen also happens to be going steady with another boy. Todd starts out using The Game to be close to Helen and soon learns that there is far more to this game than he ever expected. Come and join with Todd, Helen, Steve, Greg and the rest of the D&D Adventurers as they travel to the lair of a dead red dragon in search of gold, glory and greatness in a world filled with magic and monsters in the land of Avondor.
As the action progresses, you will bounce between the mundane world of the 1970’s and the fantastic world of Dungeons and Dragons. The story begins on the last day of school and Todd’s realization that the twin sister of his best friend is no longer the bratty pest he remembers. Conversations with Helen and the introduction of The Game changes Todd’s life in ways that will forever influence the man he will become.
This novel is a story that is 50 years in the making. I hope you enjoy it.

Those who play with prophecies will get burned…
23-year-old Undesirable, Durvla Garrick, has a dangerous secret. Being both deaf and having a chronic ailment, her very existence is treasonous. So, when the Queen’s mercenaries accuse her of stealing a dress, she comes quietly—better to be arrested for her knitting skills than her illness.
Under the watchful eye of the broody royal guard, Tiernan Kilkenny—the embodiment of the very people she’s spent her life hiding from—Durvla is appointed dressmaker to the princess. But castle life isn’t quite what she expected, and nor is its staff…
With the Queen dying, Princess Carys Meredyth fa Rhodri is reluctant to inherit the throne of a broken Kingdom when she feels so broken herself. Magic has been outlawed for a millennium—so why are her memories filled with whispers of enchantment?

The Wild Days are all but over, and the Howling Hunt is nearing…
Facing the worst winter in living memory, Brackenhal and Merralea are fleeing south with what’s left of their tribe – and their last remaining cub. Plagued by cold, hunger, and opportunistic Flesheaters who are picking off their fellow Foragers one by one, there is still no sign of winter lifting, nor spring returning. Along their path, they discover an abandoned fox cub lying in the snow, yet despite foxes being among the most feared and cruel of all predators, they decide to raise the cub as their own. Meanwhile, another creature born of winter itself is uniting the Flesheaters under one creed to begin a great hunt, and while the Foragers raise their orphaned cub in little knowledge of the looming threat, the Wintergazer is ever growing in both power… and hunger.
Against the setting described above, The Last of the Wild Days is the story of someone born into one way of life but raised into another; whose identity is increasingly torn between heritage and upbringing, nature and nurture, right and wrong – who must ultimately discover what the meanings of family and friendship truly are to them.
As well as for use of setting, the world, characters and their various attitudes towards one another are intended as a satirical reflection of humanity and our issues throughout history that are still largely present today such as tribalism, slavery and greed.
Dedicated to the memory of my brother Nathaniel (Natty), Brian Jacques whose books we both grew up with, and other influential authors who are sadly no longer with us, this is a story of life, death, love, grief, captivity, freedom, prejudice, compassion, and the complicated, bittersweet bonds of friendship and family – in a reflection of our own lives as a combination of beauty, agony and everything in between.
If you decide to pick it up, self publishing relies heavily on ratings and reviews – so any review or any feedback you could offer would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!
