‘…all that I have prophesised will come to pass, when Ishtar gives birth.’
Rome, Italy. AD 42


The story of the Magi Saga is one that's been in my head for a long, long time.
It's found expression in many different ways over the years, in writing and artwork, and its developed out of all recognition from the idea I had all those years ago.
The idea started with a character, a young woman who could use Magic, and it grew from there.
My friends in my home town of Retford know this character all too well as she appeared in many of the table top Role-playing and War Games we used to play, she became quite infamous in fact.
Now, years later when I have all but given up playing Dungeons and Dragons, the story has evolved again, going through its most drastic change yet as I rebuilt the world around the character from the ground up, this time in the form of a Novel.
I've been writing this book, Epic Calling, the first book in the Magi Saga, for the best part of 5 years, and only now do I have a near finished manuscript that I intend to try and publish in the near future.

This mini site is where you will find info, extracts, artworks and more from the book.

At the moment, only the Art page has any real content,
but more will be added as it is completed and made available.

I hope you enjoy it.
Regards
Andrew

‘…So, as we now understand it, we can confirm that the earthquake has ripped open a huge chasm through the island which is, as we speak, filling with water from the Persian Gulf, effectively splitting the island in two. One Saudi politician was quoted as saying, “Ishtar has given birth.” earlier today.’
