About DRM

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. It relates to e-books, not printed editions.  You can read lots of gory details about it in the Wikipedia article, if you’re interested.  For a brief, non-technical, summary read on after the next paragraph.

Let’s get this part out of the way first:  At this point in time my e-books are sent to my distributor without DRM, and with the request that no DRM be applied. Note however that some stores may add their own DRM as a matter of standard practice, so if you are concerned about DRM you should check carefully at the time of purchase.

Dryad is on its way

When I launched this website two weeks ago I had thought there were just a few minor details to finalise before Dryad would be available for purchase. But it has all taken longer than I really expected – no one’s fault except mine. It’s my first time through this process, and I underestimated just how many things still needed to be done. I’ve just now finished submitting the necessary files to my distributors.

If all goes according to plan, Dryad should appear as an e-book on Amazon within a week and become available at various other stores in the weeks following. I’ll update the Dryad book post as the final details become available.

Website Launch

The G.M.Worboys website launched with great fanfare … well, that is to say: my wife and I celebrated with drinks and nibblies in the office, and I rang my friends and family to go and check it out.  If you got left off the invitation list, I apologise – but you know now, so that’s all right.

If you want to leave comments or make suggestions relating to the website please attach them to the About This Website article.  (You could leave them here but this post will eventually drop off the radar.)

This website was started primarily as a place to display my first book (and the second is on its way), but I dare say a few other things will make their way here.  Stay tuned.

Naiad

Naiad
The Narun – Book Two

So this is what it feels like, John thought to himself, to crack open the door back to his normal life, the one he had abandoned in his search for Asha. But John Caldor’s life can never return to normal, it is now inextricably linked to the aaranya, the narun of the forest. And though they do not realise it yet, all of them are caught up in something bigger than they can imagine.

Asha’s talent for healing is not enough to save the one that is so precious to the both of them. The search for a cure will lead John and Asha and their friends away from everything they know, but the hazards of their journey will not be enough to prepare them for the treachery that lurks in waiting.

Dryad

Contemporary Fantasy Novel, 366 pages.   Available now, details below.

Dryad
The Narun – Book One

John Caldor, tormented by grief after his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident, feels his mind break; he can feel the cold breeze blowing through the crack that has opened deep inside his head. It is no huge surprise then, when John meets a beautiful woman that no one else can see: Asha, the imaginary friend of his lost daughter.

Asha shows John her world, the world of the forest. She tells John that she is a narun, a being made of prana – the stuff of life. Her people are the aaranya – dryads. She shows him that she can merge with the trees and share their life. She tries to teach John that he is not broken, that his mind has opened so that he, too, can now sense the life of the forest around them. To John this is a world beyond belief, but he wants it to be real, he wants Asha to be real. [Read more…]
