about me

Please give the first few chapters of my dark fantasy epic, The Keeper of the Sightless Eye, a read. Any feedback would be appreciated, and I'll do my best to reciprocate.

I have a habit of picking apart other people's grammar and punctuation. Most people seem to find this helpful, but I fear that others may find it condescending. If you ask me to read your book or agree to a swap, and wish for me not to proofread your work and comment only on the content, then please let me know.

My email address is davidsoutham@hotmail.co.uk, should anyone wish to contact me privately.

The Keeper of the Sightless Ey....

David Southam

Deceived by a witch, a warband called the Iron Wolves find themselves outlawed, hunting for answers while their world turns against them.


Witches, demons and monsters run rife across Werwold. On a quest for their queen, a warband named the Iron Wolves seek an artifact from an ancient magi ruin. But when a scarred, silent monk and his young female companion cross their path, the warband soon find themselves outlaws, with the world turned against them. Caught in a war beyond their imagining - a war in which choosing the wrong side could see their world turned to ashes - the renegade warband seek the truth behind the lies, unaware of the true terror that waits for them within the Sightless Eye.

The Keeper of the Sightless Eye is the first Iron Wolves novel, set in a world inspired by the history, folklore and culture of Medieval Europe.

Brace yourself for horror. Prepare yourself for war.

I read your first three chapters, and I have to say that this is pure class. It's one of the most enjoyable reads I've encountered on Authonomy so far. You're building up a lot of suspense, nothing is overwritten or redundant, and your writing style is extremely effective. I'd just like to off... view book

Sorry it took me so long to look at your work! I really enjoyed your story. It is well-written with good characterisation. Your descriptive writing is particularly good, as evidenced in the fall of the bell. I’d like to offer a few pointers. Take them or leave them. Pitch: “She's lost he... view book

This is great work. You've developed well-conceived characters in a vividly-imagined future. I have little constructive feedback for you, and only one small niggle: “It was in a deserted part of old Moscow; a crumbling wasteland where only the drunk or the dangerous ventured.” Semicolons shou... view book

You have an effective writing style, and are skilled in the creation of dialogue. I also like the premise for your story. Now for the proofreading bit! Here's my advice.

I was drawn in by your pitch, and was happy to see that your effective writing style continues into the story. Your writing is bold and lively, a welcome change from the humdrum. This is great work, and I'm happy to back it. David Southam Author of The Keeper of the Sightless Eye view book
