About the Author

David Dowell works full-time in Emergency Services in country Victoria, Australia. Inspired by a deep love of fantasy adventure, and an active participant of role-playing games when he was younger, Dowell has now penned the first three novels in his fantasy series `The Gods of Dark Swell'. "I have often imagined my own work propped up on my book shelf - right next to some epic fantasy series. I understand the need for a captivating and adventurous story, but in addition to that I wanted to create characters with real personalities that readers will grow to love or despise. The Gods of Dark Swell is as character driven as it is story driven, taking place in a world and concept unique in many ways to the fantasy genre."
