Jake Joy

Born in the tiny city of Wells, Somerset, I spent my formative years in the fields and woods of the countryside... until I got a PlayStation, then not so much. But those early memories of running about the woods with my brothers are what fuel my writing. The games and stories we played have stuck with me, and often, characters from those games appear in my stories.

King Hunters

Muse tries not to subscribe to the idea of karma. Conman, thief, and wielder of bardic magic, he’s done more than enough to warrant a karmic backhand.

When the King of Crock Mallet is kidnapped and civil war begins to brew, Muse is in the wrong place at the wrong time. To make matters worse, an ancient enemy threatens to enslave the world. Only Muse can stop it, but to do so he must overcome his selfish desires and use his magic for the greater good.

The Trouble with Prophecies

With the prophesised Chosen One missing, Feydern’s only hope lies with Derrick, the Last Wizard, but he doesn’t want to help. In his opinion, tracking down the missing Chosen One is an idiotic idea.
But prophecies must come true and despite his best efforts, he’s dragged along on the quest. Bandits, goblins, and warring grannies stand in the way of his freedom, but his greatest obstacle is destiny itself.
That’s the trouble with prophecies…
They don’t really give you a choice.

I was hooked from the start and gutted when it ended, one of those rare books that comes along and catches you off guard. Well worth a read.
