There's always more to a town than
meets the eye. You just need to scratch the surface. The quiet town
of Hopfield is no exception. There are everyday people doing everyday
things - just like where you live. But history has a way of coming
back to find us. And the voices of the past can change our lives
forever.
Three fabulous fables for your
delectation and delight:
The Spirit Archer
Campaign of the Gods
Mark of the Legion
BACKGROUND INFO
The Hopfield Tales is a trilogy of
three novellas. Each story is set in a town in present day Yorkshire
and involves people who have encounters with characters from English
history and legend. The tales include the final, as yet unpublished
story, Mark of the Legion.
The blurb for the unreleased novella,
Mark of the Legion:
Bentham Cawley enjoys and quiet and
humdrum life as a monk at the Brotherhood of the Resurrection in
Hopfield, Yorkshire. But this is all about to change - when he
unwillingly embarks on the monastery's new friendship programme and
meets remarkable octogenarian Ernest Teale.
Just how does Ernest know so much
about the past, and how is he connected to the legendary but doomed
Roman Ninth Legion?
Some secrets wait centuries to be
unlocked...
Review samples
for The Spirit Archer
and Campaign of the Gods:
"This is a
novella that is entertaining, informative and imaginative. It's a
wonderful story that put a smile on my face." (The Spirit
Archer; Ann Werner, Amazon)
"This is a
good fun read which I really enjoyed. I particularly liked the way
the scenes cut back to the gods and their fated board game and the
effect that had on our world of 'Midgard'. A great, light-hearted bit
of fun." (Campaign of the Gods; Ignite, Amazon)
The voices of the past can change
our lives forever…
AUTHOR BIO
Mike often taps
out stuff on his keyboard in the fantasy, urban fantasy and
paranormal genres: a habit which his wife finds fairly amusing - and
sometimes a little bit strange.

Spirit Archer and Campaign
of the Gods - with GMTA Publishing.
Along with Mark of the Legion,
the novellas are due to be published as The
Hopfield Tales in summer 2013.
Mike's debut novel, The
Chaosifier, is also available on
Amazon, where it is ambushing unsuspecting fans of contemporary
fantasy with its general mischief and mayhem.
Mike's educational background is in History,
International Conflict Analysis and Education. He is qualified as a
teacher in ESOL and Adult Literacy, and lives and works in West
Yorkshire. He's married to a long-suffering wife, Joanne, and they
have a young son called Joseph.
