The Perduror - What's it about?

Image
The Perduror is available on Amazon for Kindle! What's it all about? It's about an old man called Jack, and a young man named Blythe, who is in effect his carer and the closest family member willing to take care of him. Jack has seen one-hundred years of life.

GENRE How closely aligned, for you, are fantasy and romance? And are the distinctions fuzzy? Well, even when writing fantasy, my books always have romance in them.
