A.J. Dalton
Hello there! I'm mainly preoccupied with the question 'If Darth Vader and Dracula were fighting each other, who would win?' When not pondering said question, I bend my mind to writing gothic fantasy. It keeps me off the streets, but often gets me into trouble.
Praise for A J Dalton's writing:
SFX - ‘Empire Of The Saviours gives you an interesting setting and a devilishly good villain’
SciFi Now magazine - ‘Engaging, filled with sacrifice, adventure and some very bloody battles!’
Waterstones central buyer - ‘The best young British fantasy author on the circuit at the moment’
Sfbook.com - ‘Different, fresh and unique’
Best-selling author with Gollancz - Empire of the Saviours, Gateway of the Saviours, Tithe of the Saviours.
Titles published with Kristell Ink - The Book of Angels, The Book of Orm.
Other titles - I Am a Small God, Necromancer's Gambit, Necromancer's Betrayal, Necromancer's Fall.
Hey, I did my best. Oh shut up. It's big in Germany.
“Places are people as well as rocks, trees and buildings. Places are moments in time.”
“Why were there no words that spoke positively about being concerned about the self? Why was there only negative connotation in terms like "selfish", "self-interested", "self-centred", "self-obsessed" and so on? Why was it so much better to be without a self: "selfless", "self-sacrificing", "self-effacing", etc?”
