Singer of Souls by Adam Stemple

Here is your guest blogger once again to bring you something to pass the time.

Finding new authors to read is a never ending quest of mine. Recently I managed to spot a small paperback from a new author nestled in the shelves and decided to give it a go. Singer of Souls is all about a junkie musician getting clean. Over the years he has burned all his bridges, except one... a grandmother who lives in Scotland. Once there he plays on the street to earn his money. As payment for a song he is given the power to see the fairy kingdom in our own world.

How he survives this, and the everyday challenges of life is the majority of the story. However the real reason to read this book is not for the story (which is excellent), but for the quality of his writing. He extensively researched the myths on which he is treading. At no point does the reader become bored due to the endless humor and vividly described scenes.

So run out and buy his book. With some luck we will see a second book from him.
