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 down the best book I've read so far this year.

...laugh out loud funny, clever and poignant... this fantasy book challenges the fantasy genre - and wins...

...great storytelling ingredients, phenomenal writing, genius, and originality.

This book is utterly brilliant and completely unlike anything I have ever read.
