Behind the Scenes
A BUDDHIST TALE FROM THE SUBCONTINENT OR THE PARABLE OF THE PERFECT ANSWER, ACCOMPANIED BY SILLY GESTURES AND BAD ACCENTS It was the season of the monsoon; the great sky dragons fought above the land and their blood rained down unceasingly on the verdant jungle. It was the month of Kober, and the 14 th day, and so the day of petitions for wisdom. Through the hopeful throngs passed the procession of the King of Pradesh.

A Buddhist Tale From the Subcontinent

A BUDDHIST TALE FROM THE SUBCONTINENT OR THE PARABLE OF THE PERFECT ANSWER, ACCOMPANIED BY SILLY GESTURES AND BAD ACCENTS It was the season of the monsoon; the great sky dragons fought above the land and their blood rained down unceasingly on the verdant jungle. It was the month of Kober, and the 14 th day, and so the day of petitions for wisdom. Through the hopeful throngs passed the procession of the King of Pradesh. It was proceeded by one hundred dancers, with bells on ankles and wrists, then ten ranks of the Heavenly Guard, striking their bronze shields with their war clubs every three paces. Then came the Exalted One, his advisors and courtiers, and then the seven great horns of the Royal Fanfare, sounding discordantly every fifteen paces like the disconsolate bellow of a dying elephant. “If this is the Royal Music,” a traveller from a distant land observed between bellows, “it’s nae wonna the kings are all bloody mad”. “Aye.

About me

UPDATE: As of the 19th September 2012, Sleight of Hand is in the top 100 paid in contemporary fantasy on Amazon’s Kindle Store, in both the UK and the US. Thank you to everyone who has brought and enjoyed the book!

Mark Henwick was born in Africa and left out in the sun too often.

An early interest in philosophy and psychology was adequately exorcised by tending bars. And while trying to enroll in a class to read Science Fiction full time, he ended up taking an engineering degree which splendidly qualified him to move into marketing. That in turn spawned a late onset career in creative writing.

When not working, Mark gets high by the slightly less conventional means of a small light aircraft.

He lives with his family, ducks and chickens in the south of England, and can often be found in the Rockies.
