Rise of the Chimera: The Chimera Saga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781728382098)

Born in a small Northern England town in the sixties, to some remarkably hard working parents, my early life was as idyllic as you could imagine; friends, play and the rest. It was during that play I used my imagination to make stories. At this time, my brother brought back a role playing game back from university and I was hooked. We used to role play for many hours, much to the frustration of my parents, who wanted a practical, hardworking sons. However, after moving schools things changed, I'll skip the details, but to put mildly life went down 'Hill'. That nearly ended my career permanently, but I recovered eventually and started my first job. I managed to get reasonable results in my exams and started a career in Chemistry and then in Computing, which I remained in, when possible. Still the stories stayed with me, just bidding their time until I took my biggest move yet; down South. There I met a college that role played with a group and he offered to introduce me; I've never looked back since. That role playing group finally led me to start to create a character for one of our role playing games, which in turn became this book. As this book took shape, I began to think of all the other stories that I used to create and now they are all queued up ready to get written; a true story maker at last. Of course I had help: Paul (GM), William (Jack), Andrew (Simon) and Rob (the least loved character, John) my fellow gamers, but also colleges; Grant -Grammar and Nicole -(Whisper) Story.
