Hey guys.
Kandor The Warrior is an adult fantasy tale. It will appeal to teen agers and upwards who like Fantasy in the genre of Dungeons And Dragons and the Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks. It is a fantasy novel that has graphic violent scenes and sorcery and fantasy characters.
It is not suitable for children of any age under 16, in my opinion. Kandor The Warrior will appeal to people who like escapism, and want a release from the day to day humdrum of modern day life. I wrote this book back in 1999 but, only published recently. I am writing a sequel which, will carry on after Kandor The Warrior ends. I try to describe what the character is seeing and the consequences there after, and some readers find it too much. I thought I best point this out. If too much information about a gory scene in one of my books is not to a readers liking then it might be best to give my books a miss. A lot of fantasy writers have referenced Brothers Grimm for inspiration. I know I do. The unfortunate thing is that Hollywood/Disney has made the tales of Grimm all light and fluffy. People need to realise that the Grimm Brothers were far from light and fluffy. They wrote about folklore and their books and tales are actually very dark, grim and let's face it, scary. A Disney "Fairy" is not the same as a Grimm "Faerie". That is how I see the fantasy genre. I try to capture the terror and I want the reader to be horrified and scared. I would not recommend reading it to a child for a bedtime story. LOL! I loved the TV series Grimm. Now that is how I see it. It was violent, scary, gory and all of the above.
Where do the Elves live? Where do they reside?
In the woods, the mountains, the vales, do they hide?
Along with the Dwarves, the Gnomes and the Mages
Hidden away, beyond the Veil, for Ages
Where are the Centaurs? Where are the Fauns? Who is the Lady In Red?
The Faeries and the Sprites, Willow The Wisp, how far do they spread?
On every Continent, country, Ocean and Sea
Hidden away, kept secret, from Humanity
The Ogres, the Trolls, Giants of Old
Dragons and Wyverns, and Knights that are Bold
Griffons and Harpies, Half Man and Half Bull
Satyrs and Banshees, Vampires of Dracuul
Thieves and Vagabonds, and Pirates of High Water
Battles and Duels, and no given Quarter
Demons and Devils, and Leviathan of the Deep
Behemoth and Monsters, and Princess's in Eternal Sleep
Frogs and Princes, and Tales of Woe
Paladins and Maces, and Pikes and Sorrow
Cyclops and Mermaids and Quests and Magic
Witches and Hags, and Stories so Tragic
Morning Stars and Warriors, Adventurers on Quests
Fighting Evil, and Darkness, searching for Hidden Treasure Chests
Alliances and Armies, Soldiers and Kings
Sorceresses and Queens, and Enchanted Rings
Portals and Wormholes, and grieving Mothers in Tears
Invasions, and Slavery and Self Guiding Spears
Wizards and Orcs, and Creatures from the Pit
Honour and Valour, Courage and True Grit
Palaces and Temples, Priests and Druids Too
Shape Shifters and Hobbits, and Sirens is it all True?
Fuelling imagination, in Fantasy Novels, for Me and for You

Whilst walking in the woods one day, I took shelter under a large conifer tree
The clouds had gathered, and a downpour of water droplets were all around me
They cascaded down like jewels sparkling in the Spring Sunshine
Just a shower, enough to fill the air with a sweet scent of pine
A Squirrel danced across a branch when he saw me
Gracefully, and spirited, full of jollity
He leapt from branch to branch, skipping with glee
I was certain he was giggling and smiling at me
Then he was gone, as quick as a flash, leaving me on a high
This cutest little fellow, who just past by
Then I heard a bird sing, and it was pleasant to my ear
A melody of nature, all should hear
The shower was brief, and the clouds moved on
And a beautiful rainbow appeared, as the Sun shone
I wondered at its colours, how pretty, and clear
Like a prism bending light, up in the atmosphere
I heard a noise and saw something out the corner of my eye
A tiny little fellow, green tunic, green pointy hat, and a tiny chequered tie
He gave me a wave, and nodded with a smile
And I just stood there transfixed, for quite I while
"Are you an Elf?" I heard myself say
"Not at all, I am a Leprechaun." Said he
"I come from a land, over the rainbow, and full of fantasy."
He scratched his chin and continued to say
He had lost his girl, and was willing to pay
A pot of gold if I helped him pick up her trail
He had been calling her name but, to no avail
I asked him what she was wearing, what should I see
He told me that her attire, was exactly the same as he
They were running through a meadow, and fell did she
Swallowed up by a hole, leading to a rabbit colony
Followed her he did, worried with fear
He saw lots of pretty colours, and ended up here
Then he saw the squirrel, as it took flight
Running and leaping from tree to tree, and it gave him quite a fright
"My goodness!" I exclaimed. "You've had quite a day!"
"I have no use for gold. Answer me some questions, and when she is found, be on your merry way."
"What do you want to know?" Said he with an air of curiosity
"What happened in the rabbit hole?". Enquire did I
He said he had quite an adventure, met many passers by
He crossed paths with a madman wearing a tall hat
And was shocked when before him appeared, a smiling cat
A hare was running round and around, chasing his own tail, again and again
Like a spinning top he was, loopy loo, insane
A girl called Alice whispered in his ear, and put him at ease
Her breath was soothing, like a summer breeze
" She was very eloquent, and easy to talk too"
He was very happy to let me know, all what she had seen
A very nasty little woman, claiming to be the Red Queen
Tweedledee and Tweedledum, twins they are
And a caterpillar, smoking what he thought was a cigar
He found himself splutter, and almost choke
From all this pungent billowing smoke
In fact it was a pipe, that was on show
And also a funny little mouse, and a DoDo
I told him I read about this story, some time ago
A world within a world, where fantasy characters to and fro
She told him of a Jabberwocky, a mushroom, and very nasty Cook
A fishfootman, an executioner, playing cards as Knights and Guards
A Mock Turtle, A magic looking glass, beautiful gardens and courtyards
I heard a dog bark, and turned to see
As the dog cocked it's leg, ready to pee
A few seconds past, and then the dog was gone
But when I turned my head again, so too was the Leprechaun

so cool! nope. its a noob book. how old are you Leo. ?
Oh wow, I was going through my list and I remember this from 2018! 😅 Any chance of a part 2?
Hi Urabe,I stopped writing the sequel 2 years ago...😩...have not quite turned out as I would of hoped...Kandor the Warrior has only sold 31 units in 3 years...😠 lol! Time to call it a day me thinks.
Welp, 31 units is already a whole lot better than a lot of authors I know. Maybe you could publish it on sites like royal road and webnovel, try to gain a following from there 😄
Refreshing words my friend but...the last 3 years have been exhausting and quite frankly demoralizing...I have shelled out thousands on publishing and promoting two books in 3 years with absolutely no return...I think I need to stay away from social media for a short while...it is playing havoc with my state of mind and the bipolar is overwhelming...thank you for your kind words and take care...👍😁
