Philip Rowlands is a software engineer, originally from Dublin and now resident in Galway. He first got the idea to write fiction set in Co. Galway after recurring hikes into the hills of Connemara while studying Physics at the University of Galway, but it didn't really take off until the COVID lockdowns of 2020-2022.
Quarantining the distorted patch of reality that is the Dwarven homeland of west Connacht does not lend itself to epic battles. Long, dull periods of watching the coasts for Fomorian pirates and those who would aid them for their own ends, broken up by small, squalid skirmishes in the bogs and pine forests. Constantly watching for reality going out to lunch.
For the British military, west Connacht is just a tedious and unwelcome theatre. But for the dwarves of Ireland, who wish to retake their homeland, and the Fomorians who drove them out, this war is a personal matter.
