I have always been interested in Runic symbols and they seemed like the perfect script to use in the Moon Stealer books. I wanted to create a primative feeling of age as well as wisdom.
Runic inscriptions have appeared since the first century when they were etched on objects for practical as well as magical purposes. They have been used as an Oracular device (used to predict the future), as magical symbols, calendars, riddles and poems. They also had practical uses as the marks or signatures of tradesman and stonemasons.
Interestingly, some of the modern English language has origins in Runes. The letter called Feoh means Fee in English, still used to denote a debt.
Even the shape of the Runes has symbolic meaning today. The rune means desire and is the ‘fingers crossed’ symbol we use when we hope (or desire) something.

GREAT REVIEWS AND UPDATES
Had a brilliant review of the second book in the Moon Stealer series:
FIRST BOOK IS GOING FREE ON AMAZON US
The first book in the Moon Stealer series is available in several different places for FREE.
Amazon is making the book free on a permanent basis, which I'm happy about, as more people will be able to read it. Unfortunately it's on Amazon in the US that has made it free so far. (Working on UK amazon.)

INCREDIBLE REVIEW OF BOOK 2.
"No words can describe how excited I was to read this book ... The adventures or fights they get into had me on the edge of my seat for most of the book! ... his writing is amazing ... I hope this series never ends"

In such an unchartered land it's difficult knowing who is friend and who is foe.
Danger
lurks in the most innocent of places.
