About this series
The last two adult dragons on the planet live in seclusion as they wait for their only child to grow mature enough and strong enough to ride the solar winds out of this galaxy but for the young dragon it is a lonely existence. With none of his own kind to play with he can only look on longingly at the village children as they play in the fields below his refuge until one day fate takes a hand.
Companionship comes in the form of five scruffy schoolboys. Blessed with the combined intellect of a dead ant and as much sense of responsibility as a cloud the five boys take the young dragon on a hilarious series of misadventures as the six friends become inseparable.
When danger threatens it is the boys who mobilise to defend their new found friend and his parents and when forces of evil beyond their comprehension strike at their idyllic new life it is the boys, armed with nothing more than a sense of humour and a total belief in themselves and a few, new, magical acquaintances, which rise to the task of opposing the growing nightmare.
Would you walk into hell for a friend?

- The Shadow of the Lie
2
The ultimate evil sits on the most powerful throne in the known world and if left unchecked all the rest of humanity will eventually fall under its sway. A time for heroes, a time for the wise and the brave, to rise up against the tyranny of the ultimate despot. A wizard of great antiquity and proven wisdom would seem the perfect choice but five schoolboys who you wouldn’t trust with their own dinner money? Even the sorcerer is confounded by the vagaries of destiny. Once again Merdlyn the Wizard along with Billy and David and Steve and Sid and Isaac take on the forces of darkness in an adventure that will see them journey through time, fight their way across ancient Greece and then travel across the wide expanses of the Persian Empire, meeting Gods and mortals, heroes and villains, aided and assailed by mythical creatures, in a valiant attempt to save the future from the past. The irreverent and irresponsible take on the supernatural!

Dig
Dig was born in Trollheim in 1873, the unfortunate result of the unrequited love between a short sighted troll and a large boulder. After many years as an ‘uninspiring student’, during which many teachers mistook him for a fungal infection of the radiators he eventually left school in 1936. (If you ever find yourself described as an uninspiring student, please do not take it to heart. Einstein was described in the same manner by his university tutor and never forget William Shakespeare had appalling hand writing and its worth remembering that the majority of left handed Japanese jellyfish are blind. But I digress.)Following a lamentable season playing for Pressed-on-Bothends Football Club during which he demonstrated a truly breath-taking inability to control the ball linked to a match winning skill for falling on opposing players, he returned to education.He obtained a First Class Law Degree with Honours by the time honoured expedient of prevaricating over the answer to any question for so long that the examiner expired of old age (the so called Bleak House technique)and was consequently awarded a degree by default.Following the execution of his first client for riding a bicycle without a red light clearly displayed at the back, Dig decided that possibly Law was not his forte and has since made his living by begging in the street or hiring himself out as a garden ornament.He has three children, Pauliepolipulus, a successful banker and part time semi-conductor, Toe, an aspiring tourist attraction of no fixed abode, and his daughter Erin Lucy Binbag the first, and up to now, the only green skinned model to appear on the cover of vogue.His late wife, Odour Niff, passed away as the result of an ill-advised drunken brawl with a steam roller and her remains were scattered over the A1/M1 London to Newcastle road as chippings. He visits her frequently, usually when driving to Sunderland on business.Following the runaway success of The Schoolboys Dragon, which outsold such literary classic as “What’s on the top shelf? – A gnomes guide to supermarket shopping’, ‘I survived the Titanic – The thrill a minute memoirs of a rubber duck’ and ‘Karachi – Self-defence for the dyslexic’ Dig’s life has taken on totally new directions.It has been argued, that in part, the success of The Schoolboys Dragon was due to Dig having a larger circle of friends and family than the other authors which taken in conjunction with a world-wide shortage of toilet paper resulted in unexpectedly high sales but many leading academics have derided this claim as merely the ramblings of his competitors following their failure to take their medication. The vicious rumour that his mother bought a dozen copies of The Schoolboys Dragon should be treated with the contempt it deserves, not only can this fine woman not read but she can only count up to the number of toes she has on both feet (seven).Dig has now moved from under the foot bridge in a small municipal North Wales park where he was previously living to under a large luxury motorway bridge over the River Mersey. Although a far more spacious and up market address the move has not been without its own logistical problems. The volume of goats travelling over motorway bridges of their own volition is exceedingly small and Dig’s recent attempt to ensnare a goat whilst it was driving a four ton lorry left him hospitalised.Following his discharge from hospital Dig has become a regular sight on our televisions screens, he is in much demand as a character actor for such demanding parts as the bacteria in toilet cleanser advertisements or the irritating growths in weed killer advertisements. His heart wrenching portrayal of an infection of the gums in a recent dental appliance advertisement had him nominated for an Oscar.He continues to write and it is expected that he will do so for some time unless we can find someone to stop him.
