Book description
Benor learns a new trade, joins the second hand book trade, attempts to rescue a friend and awakens a terror from the deep. Meddling in the affairs of mages is unwise, even if they have been assumed to be dead for centuries.
My review -
Benor
Dorfinngil learns new skills in this story. He sets out to help a friend and he
definitely gets into deep water. I always enjoy these little tales which
sometimes take a surprising turn. If you’ve not read any before I think you
could just dive straight in. So to speak.
And now - The Plight of the Lady Gingerlily
Book description
No good deed goes unpunished. To help make ends meet, Benor takes on a few small jobs, to find a lost husband, to vet potential suitors for two young ladies, and to find a tenant for an empty house. He began to feel that things were getting out of hand when somebody attempted to drown him.
My review -
Benor
tackles various mysteries in this collection of stories. From a lady who wants
to search for her missing husband (who doesn’t want to be found!) to vetting
suitors for young ladies, he is ever helpful to the fairer sex. He also takes
on sleeping in a haunted house. And, as they say, much more. Those of us who
loves these tales of life in Port Naain feel we are putting on comfy slippers
and a cardy to relax in the presence of favourite people. I loved it!
About the author
Jim Webster is probably fifty something, his tastes in music are eclectic, and his dress sense is rarely discussed in polite society. In spite of this he has a wife and three daughters.
He has managed to make a living from a mixture of agriculture, consultancy, and freelance writing. Previously he has restricted himself to writing about agricultural and rural issues but including enough Ancient Military history to maintain his own sanity. But seemingly he has felt it necessary to branch out into writing SF and fantasy novels.

He lives in South Cumbria.

Just a thought - A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading ―
