The Leech of Love

(2014)
(A book in the Memory Magus series)
A Story by

 
 
Tolgrid's wife lives a secret life that he wants to forget, and so he visits Ladesan the Magus, who is known for his ability to alter and remove memories.

Magic is a risky art, even for those adept at it. Love is an even riskier affair, and some might say it is a magic of its own. To preserve his love, Tolgrid is willing to alter his recollection, to remove the bad memories like a leech removes bad blood.

The question is: can a memory be altered without altering the person, and can a memory be removed without leaving an emptiness inside?

Enter the world of Iraldas. Meet the Memory Magus.

Interview with the Author


Q - So, what makes the Memory Magus series special?

A - The stories are all set in the fantasy world of Iraldas, better known from the Children of Telm series, but they focus on the unusual and mysterious character of Ladesan the Magus, and how he changes people and the world around him by working a new kind of magic upon the mind.

Readers can expect interesting characters, intriguing plots, and stories that will ultimately be very memorable.

Q - Why is fantasy such an important genre?

A - I see fantasy as the modern heir of ancient mythology, the continuation of those tales that moved so many people in bygone days. The best fantasy novels not only offer us a means of escape, but help us better explore the real issues of the world, under the veil of symbol and myth.

I think this is why there are so many fantasy best sellers, in print or Kindle, because it answers to a core human need—the desire to understand ourselves and the world around us.

Q - So, what makes these books a must read?

A - Because they explore how memories affect us, how altering them can alter entire worlds and change entire lives. They offer a further glimpse into the world of Iraldas, which is populated by the peculiar and the strange. Expect high fantasy romance, political intrigue, magic and wizards, and a whole lot of meddling with people's memories.

The bottom line: If you enjoy quick reads that leave a lasting effect, then these stories are for you.

Q - Can readers expect more stories set in Iraldas?

A - Definitely. I've been working on more short stories in the Memory Magus series. There will be plenty more to follow, and I hope to flesh out the world of Iraldas even more in the months and years to come.

Thanks for reading!
