"The Circle of Twelve" officially launched today!

I had the privilege of launching The Circle of Twelve today at Southwell School in Hamilton, New Zealand - marking a 'full turn of the wheel' in a sense - the same venue where I launched The 4 Powers of Daren Sáner in 2010 and The Vitality Code in 2012. It was an honour to return to my old school and share this milestone occasion with enthusiastic readers and writers.

I presented to 250+ year 7 and year 8 students about not only the novel, but also the characters within it and their motivations; how supporting characters should have their own legitimate personalities and motives (rather than just serving the needs of the main character), and the inspiration behind my characters and The Circle of Twelve's plot. I then undertook a writing workshop with a keen group of young creative writers - the level of talent among young people is incredible. The future of our planet is bright - and we don't need AI when young people are so full of their own outstanding creativity, imagination, and drive. It was then time to officially launch The Circle of Twelve with a reading to a select audience. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the worlds of my imagination with the school today and, hopefully, inspired others to pursue their own creative writing journeys. If you wish to share in the lavish, richly crafted worlds within The Circle of Twelve, get your copy here today - and enjoy!
