A-Z of fictional characters: I is for Incy

Harriet Stone by Angela Wooldridge. Don’t panic – you didn’t miss anything! Harriet is currently gathering dust on my shelf. I hope to return to her one of these days but I needed to go off and write about other … Continue reading

Garion is the main character in The Belgariad series by David Eddings. This consisted of five books; Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magicians Gambit, Castle of Wizardry and Enchanter’s End Game. I’ve always considered that I grew up with … Continue reading

A-Z of Fictional Characters: F is for Fisher
Namely Isobel Fisher from Simon R. Green’s, Beyond the Blue Moon. By the way SPOILER ALERT! If you don’t like spoilers, best not to read beyond here. (Having said that, it’s not that much of a surprise and if you’re … Continue reading
