about me

I'm a writer and general troublemaker working for a local newspaper in rural New Zealand. I like crazy motorcycles, good sci fi with a sense of humor, sushi, black cats, computerized violence, death metal and tabletop wargames. I'm also the greatest MC in my own extremely narrowly defined musical subgenre...

Lord of Bones and Ashes

Drew Bryenton

Wicked sorcerer... Dark lord... Evil Tyrant... Every story needs one - even real life. When my life needed a villain, it found ME...


I was fourteen when the White Priests came to civilize us. Through slavery, rape and sorcery they made the tribes of the Khytein into a useful part of their bright new empire. But they hadn't counted on a child with a fracture in his soul - or his reluctant friends, the feral hunter and the witch-girl who could slice minds to ribbons with her music.
They had no idea that I'd seek revenge, or that I'd be used as a living weapon by the embittered enemies of the Sacred Thearch. Not even those desperate men could foresee what I'd become when I gave in to the will of the story and became truly wicked.
This is my confession - a tale of monsters and heroes who just happen to be the same person. It's the story of how a child forced to live through atrocities became one himself, while along the way taking part in epic battles, doomed quests, perilous rescues, and a rebellion against hopeless odds.
I can't promise you fairies, elves, friendly dwarves or damsels in distress. But I can tell you the truth - which contains far more blood and less lies than 'history'...

Right - first impressions; you have neatly sketched out a compelling protagonist in Lola - a kind of Neal Stephenson heroine thrown into a 'Rum Diary' era Thompson setting. Screw Hemmingway in Cuba, this is actually funny! Precise, far-above-sitcom-par dialogue which fills in the attitude and reacti... view book

Stark and meticulous, this is excellent first-person perspective writing. It's a brutally insightful look into the mind of a mentally ill person who has redefined his internal world to negate the insanity of the blight without - to paraphrase the song 'his reality is his psychosis'. Then a disse... view book

Ha - you've got me! This really is like one of those action movies where we begin amid a bank heist or gunfight, only to then have the director (I'm lookin at you Quentin) flip things on edge and fill in the back story. In short, chapter one is a prologue and a kind of teaser as to the action wh... view book
