As a writer, I've always been fascinated by names, which is why I've loved creating Napoleon Xylophone and Jarle Heavyfoot.
With Witching Hole, names play an even more important role in the story. That's because Witching Hole is about demons using people's names to gain control, and a young boy who has one name, but goes by another. Spike has untapped magical abilities.
The story is set in our world, to begin with. But it will soon take our protagonist to another as he travels through a witching hole beneath South Park in Darlington with the dwarf named Greatbeard.
Rhagg is similar to our world, in some ways. In others it is very different - most notably because of the demons haunting the place, such as Nilfisks and Snaargs. And they seem particularly interested in Spike and his new friends.
Fantasy is one of my favourite genres, along with just about every other kind of genre going. I like stories that contain great characters who are put into situations that bring out either the best, or the worst in them. I agree with Raymond Carver who once said - 'Stories ought to leave the reader with a great sense of strangeness and mystery, but never a feeling of frustration.'
If a story does that, I'm pretty sure I will have enjoyed reading it. Hopefully, that's what Witching Hole and its two sequels do for you.
