Where the Excerpt Came From: Prologue and Chapter 1 of The Wooden Crown   Guest Bio: Paul grew up under the endless skies of country Western Australia, devouring historical fiction, science fiction and fantasy books and movies from an early age. In adulthood, his love of these genres led him to turn his hand to writing his own science fiction/adventure screenplay. Following that, he wrote a short screenplay about a man coping with the onset of Alzheimer's, a topic close to his heart. A national writing competition inspired Paul to try something slightly different, writing a single scene for a novel. Encouraged, he kept on writing, and The Blackwater Chronicles was born. Paul lives in Perth with his wife, Linda.   Booklist: The Blackwater Chronicles Book 1: The Wooden Crown The Blackwater Chronicles Book 2: The Empty Throne   Amazon Link:  https://www.amazon.com.au/s?i=books-single-index&rh=p_27%3APaul%2BHewer&s=relevancerank&text=Paul+Hewer&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1    Links Contact Paul Website: paulhewer.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulhewerauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulhewerauthor/  Threads: https://www.threads.com/@paulhewerauthor    Contact Finding Elara Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FindingElara Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/findingelara/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@findingelarapodcast    Contact BCP Discord: https://discord.gg/Ap8EWpPn BCP Website: www.bcpcreative.com.au BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bcp.creative/ BCP facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577758720164   Contact Paul Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paul.van.der.mey.2025  Forrest.chat: http://forrest.chat/episodes    Contact Chris Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/chris.ilsley.5    In Collaboration with: This Event has been sponsored by the Australian Cultural Fund https://artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2EMn00000Y6idtMAB/findingelara-livestream-from-book-fair  Book Reality: https://bookreality.com/  Look for other Fairs: https://www.indieauthorbookfair.com/    Music by: @keysofmoonmusic  Name: The epic hero
