Hello. I am Leonard Oliver. I am a teacher in Anzac, Alberta though I am from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. Currently I reside in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

I am the father of two boys, Zachary and Devin. I am also the stepfather of two young adults, Alex and Timothy.

I owe my friend, Angelique for editing the Soul and Rex.

I hope you enjoy my stories.

Update

Sorry no info in a while.

I have been busy at work.  I have completed my fourth novel but have found out that self publishing has its drawbacks.  When you self publish, publishers are less willing to consider titles that are already out there.  That is understandable.

My fourth novel Easton's Boy has been sent to a publisher in Newfoundland.  It is the story of a young teenage boy who is adopted into the life of a pirate by Peter Easton.

My fifth novel and sixth one are in the works.  One is a techo horror based on social media.  The other is one that is about a group of friends who are lost on ice flows off of Harbour Grace.

Novel number 4

Working on my fourth and fifth novel at the same time.  

The Soul3 will be the end of the trilogy with Jaxon Harrison dealing with his indirectly causing the Illuminati to create their own civil war.  Friend faces friend as foes choose who to side with.  How does the Book of Enoch and the Book of Peter tie to the Annukki?  Can the three races that call Earth home prepare for their possible extinction from the coming Darkness?

The other is a result of a challenge given to me by a fellow writer; can you write a historical fiction?  I am 10,000 words into Peter's Boy. Not much to say other than it it linked to a member of Peter Easton's crew on the Happy Adventure.  The founder of my home town, Peter Eason was a pirate from the early 1600's in Harbour Grace Newfoundland.  I will have more to say later.  Take care!

Draconian Council is released

Good news and bad new.  Bad news is that I have Strep throat.  Hurts like hell.  Good news is I finally finished my editing of the first edition of Draconian Council.  It is on Smashwords right now and I will be working on getting it on Ibooks and everywhere else.  Enjoy.

Now to work on Book 3 and another project.  Email me your opinions please.

Draconian Council Update

I hope to have the second part of the Soul up in the next week or two, fingers crossed.  Then I will be taking my time on the third part.  I really want to start one of two ideas: one dealing with time travel or a techno-horror.   Will keep things posted.

Apology

Due to family issues, I am a little behind on the Draconian Council.  My final edit is only half done.  For those checking back, I'm sure the next part of  Jaxon's story is well worth the wait.

Sunday, 17 March 2013

Putting the last few nails in the coffin.   I like to hear my stories read to me as a final edit.  Soon I will be able to share Draconian Council with everyone.

Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest

A copy of The Soul has been sent to Amazon. I have my fingers crossed. With over 10,000 possible contestants, the odds are a longshot. Slowing down a bit on my edit. Work keeps getting in the way. I always listen to my writing as I edit so I take my time. Ideas for the third book keep coming. The prologue is near done and it will involve some old foes and their first encounter with...... Well I guess you will have to wait.

November 26th

Nearing the end of the first revision. Can Cleo and Jaxon's relationship survive the flirtations of a romantic interest? Cannot tell you who but hopefully you will find out in a few months. I was sad to see the death of one of the major characters, well possibly two. That is enough spoilers. Drop me a line and let me know what you think: Leonard.oliver1972@hotmail.com

November 2012

Wow, I have got my first revision almost completed. Draconian Council has even surprised me. Jaxon's relationship with Cian is evolving. Their fragile partnership has hit a major snag but no spoilers. Still hoping for a January February release.

Monday, 15 October 2012

I have just finished the sequel to the Soul. It is called Draconian Council and it takes Jaxon Harrison to the limits of his abilities. He is introduced to members of the Thirteen Families of the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group and the Trilaterial Commission. What are their real purposes and what are they keeping hidden from humanity?  

Hope to let you know in January or February.
