Who, what, why, when and how...
Who is this character i hear you asking yourself, well he happens to be a very good Australian fantasy author whom i ahve had the pleasure to meet and talk to. Oh and yeah, i have read all his books :P. For more information on anything related to Ian, go to his official home page, for more information, look at my links.

The View From The Mirror Quartet
This is the first series that Ian wrote and it took him quite a while to get the series up to his very high standards, although he says now that he is still unhappy with the way they turned out. Im not complaining, it is by far, the best fantasy series that i have ever read. It follows the tale of two very diffrent characters, Karan and Llian. We follow them through the hard times that they face and the good times, although like all good adventures, the good times are considerably less than the bad times. It is a book that will make you laugh one page, cry the next and really feel for the characters, for they are presented in such a way that you feel as though you know them.

Human Rites
This was the next series Ian put out, after completing The View From The Mirror series. Unlike his first series, this is an eco-thriller science fiction series. Although it deals with a very real problem, the melting of Antartica and the subsequent rise of the ocean's. It is based in Australia for the most part, while concentrating around Sydney. As said by many reviews, it is really a chilling look at what could very well be occuring in the not so distant future. So far there is onlt The Last Albatross and Terminator Gene out, but it is following the lives of a couple living in sydney who go through great peril and then looks to the future for a source of help out of the desperate situation Australia and the world has gotten it self into.

The Poisoned Chalice
This story was printed in a book called "Mystery, magic, voodoo and the holy grail". Although this book has since stopped being published, so i have heard. Anyway, this book is set in the same setting as "The Last Albatross", although with diffrent problems. This story follows the desperate measures a mother will go to, to save her child and right the wrongs commited, to her and others.

The Well Of Echoes
This is a follow on from The View From The Mirror Quartet, in which it is 500 years after the void is closed. According to Ian it is the plans of one of the characters in the The View From The Mirror Quartet, being fulfilled. It follows a fatherless young girl, following her through happiness and torment, it is also not finished.
