Story Behind The Book
THIS ENCHANTED LAND grew out of the "Evil Love" story that appeared in my horror collection TERROR TIME (Infinity Publishing, 2009). So many readers loved the tale that I figured I'd expand it into a novel. Canadian editor and author, G. W. Thomas was especially supportive. I enlisted author Fiona Ingram to help me write THIS ENCHANTED LAND and artist David Cox to illustrate it. Their help was invaluable!
Reviews
When I read THIS ENCHANTED LAND I was nose-to-nose with the same problem I've had with earlier Bill Robertson books, and I've read more than a dozen of them. Like his other writings, the action is well-crafted, intensely vivid, and fast paced. This story propelled me through the pages at breakneck speed, from one adventure to the next, leaving me with my tongue hanging out like a happy beagle after a rabbit chase. As I read, I did not come to like Dane Wulfdin, the hero of this time travel to Viking days, but I <em>became</em> Dane Wulfdin. The chronic problem? This tale, like Robertson's others, is too soon over, and the wait for his next book will be excruciating.<br /><br />Dan Day, Marketing Executive<br />Boonsboro, MD<br /><br /><br />David Cox's wonderful illustrations bring the magical words of this book to life as you stare into them and imagine being one of the characters described. Filled with love, despair, destruction, betrayal, and truth, this is a creative, magical work of literature to enjoy.<br /><br />Dane ventures through a land filled with such enchanted beings as ogres, witches, dragons, and magic. . .Can he survive the test of will through his journey, or will he forever be damned to this enchanted land?<br /><br />Michelle Lichtenfels<br />ReviewTheBook.com 12/16/2010
