The site is far from complete at this moment. So please be patient. :)
This is a website dedicated to my various collection of written & electronic works. Here you will find slections of my poetry & short stories, samples of my longer writing projects, and web based projects.
So, why the name "Blutmunth"? The word itself is a simple merger of two German words - Blut (blood) and Munth (month), which I used as the title for the first book in my primary project The Mageslayer Series. It is a long suffering series (of a proposed ten), the first book having taken ten years to write, from the time I first put pen to paper, to the time I first sent it to an editor. Blutmunth: A trial by combat, has even "visited" a number of literary agents and publishers, and when I get the inclination, it will visit a few more. As the title of the series may suggest, it is purely fantasy, but with some incidents in the series based on my own experiences.
Feudball is a co-project between myself and Stephen Babbage, another Central Coast resident. I will let his website do the talking about this project, so the link will take you straight to it. It too, is another fantasy work, primarily centered on the trials and tribulations of a fantasy sports team and the lead character, Alexander Bathgate. It was officially launched at the Eucalyptus Bowl Blood Bowl tournament in July 2009 and the complete novel can now be purchased at the Feudball site for the paltry sum of $25. The book will soon be available at a number of gaming stores (mostly in Australia) as well.
My blogs are self explanitory. One is a general blog, in which I will waffle on about anything and everything (some of it is related to my projects) whilst the other is dedicated to two things I enjoy doing, that being fantasy role-playing (which I've just started to get back into), board games, and Blood Bowl (which I do play a lot of), a fantasy football game which is produced by the wonderful people at Games Workshop, that I have been playing for nearly half my life (so far). My general blog also contains mini book and movie reviews.
Finally, the web projects. Scars is a uni based project which is an autobiographical story told through the various injuries that I have suffered over the years, which can be navigated through by clicking on the various hyperlinks. If you want to know more about me, read that. It was the first time that I have ever used Dreamweaver, so it is still a bit raw, and needs quite a bit of tidying up. The other project which I have included here for the time being is the online catalogue of the Happy Hippo Toy Library, a not-for-profit organisation based at the rear of the Southlake Community Centre in Morisset NSW. It still has a loooong way to go before it is done.
There will be more, when I get the chance. Enjoy!
