We’re halfway through spooky season — have you picked up your mages and talking cat book yet?

Snippets of wonderful reviews for Ernie and the Mage-Killer by Jools W. Writing & Tarot:

‘Kind of like opening a door in the backyard of your local pub and discovering it leads to a very specific magical Otherworld’

‘I love high fantasy as much as the next reader, and the very best thing about this is it doesn't follow the usual tired and overused cliches…Do yourself a favour: drop the "chosen one" - "wise old mentor" - "ancient evil threatens the world!" tropes, and grab a copy of this!’

‘Iove this book, currently on my second read through’

Link in comments below, and you can also find Ernie on the Bellows website and the website of Bookshop, Waterstones, Amazon etc.
