Working on my third book!

How about that new version of Ben Hur - anyone seen it? Is it worth watching?

Valerian and the city of a thousand planets - I think the movie deserved more credit than it got. I guess that's often the way with these kind of movies.

I'm a big fan of the 80's stuff like A-team, Magnum PI, Airwolf, Blue Thunder and several others. Stargate SG1 is awesome too but that's 90's...

Hi everyone, If you're looking for some good fantasy reading over Christmas, why not check out my "Knights of Eternity" series. I've included a blurb the first two books just below. Hope you enjoy! http://www.knightsofeternity.com "Book 1: In Search of the Great Dragon" Inspired by an...

How about fantasy that intertwines spiritual and philosophical themes and ideas into the story, without it detracting too much from the overall fantasy feel?

Agree that books need to have chapters from different character's perspectives... something I need to do more of in my own writing. I'm definately not a huge fan of the use of magic - there's something a little bit superficial about it for me - it detracts from the authenticity of the story.

I was wondering what things you would you like to see more of in a fantasy book? Do you think there needs to be more depth in terms of the characters, plot or theme - or maybe more battles, quests, romance, for example? Looking forward to your replies!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce my new ebook "Knights of Eternity: The Fight for Freedom" - a follow up to my 2014 release "Knights of Eternity: In Search of the Great Dragon" "The Fight for Freedom" continues where the first book left off, with the city of Eternity's ongoing struggle...

((TomTB edit - I've moved all of these posts to a dedicated thread in the marketing section, as it seems to me that they're worthy of a new thread here which will prove useful!)) In defence of self-published authors, I don't think people realise how tough it is trying to get your book out...

At the moment I'm watching "Helen of Troy", which is a 2003 mini series. It's not as visually impressive as the 2004 movie with Brad Pitt, but still a decent watch if you like the story.

Thanks for the encouraging words Tom, I really appreciate it. I will be sure to spend some time around these forums!- Myles

I totally forgot "Band of Brothers" - absolutely classic - all the actors had to go through basic military training for the role. Last Samurai is a good one as well. I think "Dragonheart", with Sean Connery doing the dragon's voice is my all time favourite though.

Hi everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my novel "Knights of Eternity: In Search of the Great Dragon". It's the first of two books in "The Forgotten Prophecy" series, which in turn is the first part of a trilogy. The story centers around King Alectorious of Eternity and his struggle against...

Great thread!
