Come along to Orange City Library to meet local author Brendan Lamerton when he launches his first book – a fantasy novel titled Bonded – on Thursday 2 May at 5.30pm.
Books will be available for sales and signing on the night for $22 - cash only.
About the book:
Jin has always dreamt of training at the School of the Ebon Fist, just like his mother.
He’d like nothing more than to become a powerful martial sorcerer, capable of defending the weak and helpless, going on adventures in far off lands, and trying all the different styles of noodles from across the empire.
So, when a chance encounter in the forest marks him as one of the bonded and word spreads that one of the Great Schools is coming to recruit new students, it seems like he might finally get that opportunity.
But nothing is ever that easy.
Before the School even arrives, he’ll have to deal with missing townsfolk, hopping vampires, and a powerful lord who hates him, And he’ll have to do it all before the bond drives him crazy.
About the author:
Brendan Lamerton is an Australian author currently living in Orange, New South Wales.
He grew up an avid fan of fantasy novels and early morning cartoons. Unsure of what he wanted to do as adult, he got a degree in accounting, has worked in local government and I.T., at bars and breweries, and as both a 35mm and digital projectionist, but it wasn't until he started a daily train commute for a job in the city that he took up writing, writing the first draft of his novel on his phone.
He now spends his free time writing, combining aspects of two of his favourite things from childhood: fantasy worlds and cartoon action.
