"Yes, I have a favourite author and I have read almost all of his stuff can you tell me another author who writes like him?"
"Sure which author?"
"Stephen Lawhead."
Silence. No response. Followed by "yeah.. you aren't really going to find anyone like him."
So I walked away away empty handed, no more fiction until August when his new book came out.
But now, things have changed there is an author the writes similar to Lawhead and it is because he too is a Lawhead, Ross Lawhead.
I am not sure how Ross will do walking in his dad's shadow but seeing as the two of them already released one series it is fun to see Ross breaking out on his own books, The Ancient Earth Trilogy - The Realms Thereunder.
The cool thing I found with this is that for those interested in trying out the book before buying it they have a flip-book so for all those who have enjoyed the Pendragon Cycle, Raven King Trilogy, Celtic Crusades, The Song of Albion, and more recently The Skin Map, maybe it is time to see what the next generation is up to.
Here's looking forward to a nice generational transition!
