Welcome to a Middle-Aged Writer

Welcome to the world of a middle-aged author, where I chronicle the unique challenges and triumphs I face when pursuing a passion for writing later in life. My blog will hopefully offer insights, inspiration, and empowerment for those who are discovering or rekindling their literary journey, not to mention listing the pitfalls I come across.


Chrysanthi G, Reviewer: What I appreciated most was the reflective tone of the story. It is not rushed or overly dramatic, but instead takes its time to explore the characters and their journeys. There is a sense of growth and self-discovery woven throughout, making it feel more personal than plot-driven.


The writing has a calm, thoughtful rhythm that allows you to settle into the story. It feels like a book you are meant to experience slowly, taking in both the atmosphere and the internal struggles of the characters.

By the end, I felt quietly satisfied. It is a story that focuses on depth rather than intensity, leaving you with a sense of reflection and appreciation for the journey.

 

Katie Meyers, Reviewer: Oxford: A Cardwell Chronicle is an intriguing and ambitious blend of historical fiction and speculative storytelling. Maurice Jennings sets the stage for a narrative that feels both grounded in history and expansive in its imaginative scope.

What stands out most is the premise. The combination of post–World War I tension, secret agents, and cosmic elements creates a unique and engaging foundation that promises a layered and high-stakes story.

Aidan’s journey provides a strong entry point into the narrative, with personal discovery and hidden truths driving the story forward. This sense of unfolding mystery keeps readers engaged and curious about what lies ahead.

A compelling read for fans of historical fantasy and adventure who enjoy stories that merge real-world settings with imaginative and expansive ideas.

BLURB: It is 1930, and the world still lingers under a long shadow cast by the Great War, but a new fight is approaching. Borne from men with dark ambitions, aligned with gods from distant universes, few have the strength to stand against them. For Aidan Cardwell — born in Belfast, raised in Japan, on the cusp of attending Oxford — surviving an assassination attempt and learning that his father was an agent for the King of England was only the beginning.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, you can find Oxford: A Cardwell Chronicle in any of the following:
