About the Author
David Hair, an award-winning writer of fantasy, has been inspired by his travels around the globe. He was born in New Zealand, spent time in Britain, Europe and India (which inspired THE MOONTIDE and SUNSURGE QUARTETS and the RAVANA series). After some years in Bangkok, Thailand, he and his wife returned to Wellington, New Zealand, where they are now settled (for the time being). His epic fantasy sagas THE MOONTIDE QUARTET, THE SUNSURGE QUARTET, THE TETHERED CITADEL TRILOGY and the YA saga THE RETURN OF RAVANA are all published by Jo Fletcher Books, as is his new fantasy adventure series, THE TALMONT TRILOGY, starting with The Burning Land.
Reviews
David Hair hasn't just broken the mould. He's completely shattered it * Bibliosanctum *
David Hair did an amazing job at recreating the Ravana legend . . . great tension and character development . . . fantastically written,will appeal to readers outside the fantasy genre too. A 5 star read! * Old Victorian Quill *
Riveting! Like its reincarnated heroes, I was drawn again and again to David Hair's gripping, blood-soaked tale * Chris Bradford, author of Young Samurai *
A fantastically written tale . . . An amazing story set in a magnificent background, it had me hooked from the very first page. The last half of the book literally had me on the edge of my chair, rooting for the characters in both timelines and wondering how the history would unfold and if it would repeat itself
* Draumr Kopa *If you like fantasy influenced by mythology and would like to explore beyond the well-known Western mythologies, The Pyre is an excellent departure point * A Fantastical Librarian *
The Pyre is an excellent fantasy novel. If you're familiar with the tales of Rama and Sita, you'll find much to enjoy, and if not, then David Hair's introduction to the legends are an excellent place to start * Robin Brooks Books *
The Pyre was genuinely dark and unsettling . . . The story-telling within the novel is outstanding * Historical Novel Society *
A riveting book [that] will keep you hooked to the very end. Hair has managed to pack horror, reincarnation, mythology [and] history all in one book! * The Booklovers Review *
I enjoyed the characters . . . [I] was sorry to say goodbye to the cast * It Puts the Blog in the Basket *
it works for everyone . . An interesting story. Light and dark * Books For Life *
