The second of (hopefully) many short stories from the world of the Children Of Wolves.
Finally we have: The Badger Knight…
Author: Children Of Wolves
Quick Update
Just a quick update for anyone stumbling across this site and thinking it’s abandoned. Things have been progressing slower than expected, due to life (as always) getting in the way. My 2nd short story, The Badger Knight, is finally almost finished. There were multiple parts that I wasn’t happy with and it’s taken me longer…
The Change
Bit late to the party on this one (I remember it being advertised but can’t believe that was June 2023) but finally got around to watching The Change, starring (and created and written by) Bridget Christie as Linda. Hitting 50, Linda’s Doctor tells her she’s started the menopause, and having a bit of a “mid-life…
Perchta
A lot of music inspires me when I’m attempting to write, obviously a lot of that is black metal, but also some ambient stuff, 80s pop and Japanese house music, amongst others. Recently I came across the Austrian folk/black-metal band Perchta and instantly fell in love with them after hearing the song “Hebamm”. I’m a…
The Red King
On paper The Red King sounded right up my alley. Shades of The Wicker Man (police officer on a remote island, missing child, local pagan history, a secret cult) and, of all things, Hot Fuzz (police officer sent from the city to somewhere rural as a “punishment”, trying to fit in with the locals, not…
The Badger Knight is coming
I was hoping to have my second short story, The Badger Knight, out by now, but life has been on hold due to a very close family bereavement. I’ve managed to start back on it so will hopefully have it ready in the next few weeks, as well as continuing work on my main book…
Berserk
Although I’ve been a fan of anime and manga most of my life now (ever since seeing an advert for Akira on VHS in the early 90s, a whole story in itself), Berserk was something I came a bit late to. It’s one of those titles that constantly tops “must read/see” lists, and is something…
The Badger Knight – Behind The Scenes
As well as working on my main story (calling it a “book” sounds wrong still), I’m also working on more short stories set in the same world. These will generally be stand alone stories that link together but don’t require one to be read to understand the others. Next up is The Badger Knight, not…
In The Miso Soup
Anyone who knows this book may find it a strange choice for an “influence” for the kind of work I’m aiming for. But bear with me… Ryu Murakami is probably best known in the west for being the writer of Audition, which was adapted into a film by Takashi Miike, released at a time when…
The Knight Of Ivy – A Tale From The Ryngwoode
The first in a series of short stories fleshing out the world of the “Children of Wolves”.
First up: The Knight Of Ivy.
