The anticipated sequel to Richard Sparks book, “New Rock, New Role,” has just been released.   “New Rock, New Realm,” is a captivating tale that will enthrall lovers of epic fantasy. Told with his customary wit, Richard Sparks' skillful storytelling weaves a tapestry of adventure, mystery, suspense and emotional depth—with plenty of comic moments spicing up events as they progress.   Memorable characters, imaginative settings and challenging quests all combine to make the New Rock series an unforgettable addition to the genre. Richard describes the books as high adventure spiced with low comedy.

Shortly after surviving—against overwhelming odds—their epic quest in New Rock New Role, a mysterious ghost ship arrives, carrying a cryptic message for them. Setting sail full of good intentions, they are soon embroiled in the eternal struggle between the forces of good and the forces of evil. The heart stopping action is interspersed with humor making it a ridiculously fun and addictive read. The idea for the books stemmed from Richard’s love of gaming – something he’s turned to in his later years.  

Born in England, and a graduate of Oxford University, Richard started out as a writer of stage plays, comedy revues and TV, for such shows as Not the Nine O’clock News. Rowan Atkinson performed his Schoolmaster sketch in John Cleese’s The Secret Policemen’s Ball, and he has a host of other TV credits. On being hired by Columbia Pictures TV, Richard moved to Los Angeles.  

He has written libretti for several new operas composed by Lee Holdridge, produced by the LA Opera, as well as writing new English versions of German and Italian classics.   His lyrics have been recorded by talents as diverse as Dom de Luise, Vanessa Wiliams and Plácido Domingo.

Emil Rem—an eccentric accountant, has become a writer of eccentric characters in exotic locales—using his stories to take us on a trip into his fascinating twisted world. Born to a close-knit, Muslim, East Indian family in Dar-es-Salam in the 50’s, he then moved to Maidenhead, England at the age of five. The next twenty years were spent shuttling between England and East Africa—attending Christian church wearing a St. Christopher’s Cross one minute, to wearing a green armband at Muslim religious classes in Africa the next.

These days, Emil and his wife (originally from the Philippines) live in Calgary, Canada. They have two sons.

HEART OF NEW YORK: Stories of loss, redemption and family.

The adventure continues... In his second novel—another collection of beautifully written and illustrated stories—Emil takes us through perilous, sometimes humorous, and always fascinating tales of a past and present that seamlessly intertwine to create a personal narrative that will resonate with every reader. ..

“The snow-flaked, fog-bound skyline of Manhattan loomed out at him as though through a powerful magnifying glass. His family had been promised a suite from which they could "experience the breathtaking vista of magnificent skyscrapers while sipping champagne from your balcony.” No skyline could be perceived.

The giant buildings stood so terrifyingly close that they obliterated any sense of perspective. Through the swirling maelstrom, row upon row of offices soared to dizzying heights, bringing on such claustrophobia that he had to turn his back to retain his balance...”

Bjorn Leesson has always been fascinated with many topics to include history, the supernatural, and writing. These interests combined led to the Outside the Thalsparr series, with the first book in the series, "Runes of the Dokkrsdottir." Bjorn was not formally trained as a writer and has worked in the industrial manufacturing field his entire life. Writing his stories and hoping others enjoy them is a passion and not a career.

Through countless trials and tests, she is led by visions and omens on numerous adventures with the help of steadfast friends and family to discover her mysterious supernatural destiny, one more extraordinary than anyone could ever have imagined.
