About the author

Seven Deaths of an Empire from Solaris Books due out June 2021.
Rep'd by Jamie Cowen.
After studying for a Diploma in Creative Writing, G R Matthews taught the subject at A Level and holds a BSc (Hons) in Geography. Currently working in education with a focus on Child Protection and Safeguarding, he finds time to write in the evenings between battles to get his children to go to bed and the desire to binge watch Eureka on Netflix. He has also studied (been hit a lot) Judo, Kung fu, Wing Chun and Kickboxing - and is not particularly skilled in any of them (hence the being hit a lot).
A D&D enthusiast, G R Matthews prefers the rogue (stabby stabby… who me?) as it suits his imagination and allows him to hide from all the things that go (accidentally) wrong during a dungeon crawl… (and no one can prove I set fire to that town… it was only a little fire, honest!). As a self-taught guitarist the best that can be said is that at least he doesn’t sing along to the songs (all the time) and the few thousand, over the years, who’ve heard him play (and sing) are mostly fine (some, to be fair, are still in recovery, but we wish them well).
At night, he sits and dreams that Spielberg, Lucas, Keanu Reeves, someone, anyone, reads his books thinks they’d make a great movie series (they would, that much is definitely true). With two children (where did they come from?), a wife (long suffering, caring, strong) and two hamsters (who actually show him the respect he deserves), G R Matthews is known for his self-deprecating sense of humour (true), his chiselled jawline (false), and his long career as a heart-throb film star (utterly false).

- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018I've been putting off reading both this book and Outlaw mountain solely on the basis that there are no more books in this series and I don't want the adventure to end.
Anyways, I recently gave in and read this one. First of all, you don't need to have read any of the previous books to comprehend this one. It's preferable, obviously but not necessary.
The book itself is comprised of 3 different short stories.
All of them were really well done and hooked me right back into this beautifully imagined, Chinese style fantasy world.
I won't spoil any of the stories, but they were all well crafted and compelling reads.
This is most definitely a huge recommendation from me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Aanrader!
Prachtige en verrassende korte verhalen. Je hoeft The Stone Road niet gelezen te hebben. Maar ook dat boek is zeker de moeite waard!
