J E Ogilvie - Introduction

On New Year's Day I released my epic fantasy novel FurKnight, available in paperback and ebook. After three years of hard graft it is finally here!

EPIC FANTASY. LITTLE HERO.

Felix FurKnight trained to be a faithful soldier but when a chance encounter with a fire sorcerer has him questioning his loyalties he does what he knows best and bends the rules. Lost in The Fractured Lands and on the run from a steadfast captain, what will be left of him when he emerges from the fires of war?

Saved by the same rat that tried to kill her Lyla of Nahrsea’s life is sent into a spiral of fear and blood. But the killing is the easy part, it's the violent truth that will have her questioning who she really is. Worse yet, her sworn enemy is now her only friend.

A peppy hero with something to hide
A fire sorcerer who is burning up fast
A girl who has lost everything but found the edge of a blade
The talking rat that tried to kill her
And the brave captain who would happily see them all hang.

Five will run, and five will fall.

But when a hero dies, a FurKnight will arise.

I have always struggled with the two sides of my personality. The Creative, who loves to sing and write. Who loves art, film, and philosophy. And The Engineer. The welder, fabricator, designer, programmer and mathematician. That split personality has led me down some interesting roads and caused me to be a scatter of confusion. But no longer. From this point forward, I have decided the two shall coexist. Under a white banner of parlay, they will join forces and kill this metaphor before it begins.

Some days, this will be the blog of indie author, J E Ogilvie. Writer of FurKnight, a tale of sorcery, violence, and friendship. And a talking dog. Actually, two. Okay, fine, three — three talking dogs.

Some days, this will be the sounding board for the engineer, Josh Ogilvie, preaching his love of cars and the science behind them. I don’t really care for expensive toys or top trumps, but the nature of how things work really spins my gears. I once had a blog at ogilvieracing.com, and in these pages, those articles shall live on. Sometimes I will post old work with fresh notes, and sometimes fresh progress on my little-red-car.

It's never a dull day.
