Alan Baxter
I am an optimistic cynic and dark fantasy author, based on the South Coast of New South Wales. My writing is primarily based in the magical, the spiritual, the religious and the arcane with tendencies towards horror, depravity and battles between light and dark. Above all, I try to tell a good yarn with my fiction but I would also like to make people think. Not enough people actually stop to think these days, to make informed decisions for themselves about everything from the brand of soap they buy to the version of deity they choose to believe in.
However, despite many reaffirmations that the large majority of people are complete idiots, I still meet enough good, honest, thoughtful people to maintain a healthy level of optimism. Sometimes it’s hard, but I struggle on.
I have a number of short stories published in various places and my novels RealmShift and the sequel, MageSign, are available now. You can learn all about my writing, read a lot of short stories, a serialised novella and lots of other stuff by visiting my website at www.alanbaxteronline.com
