James MacTavish brings his love of mythology and history together in gripping short stories that transport the reader from present day events to the antiquities of Ancient Greece and Arthurian legend. Having been inspired by several works focusing on the journey of coming out, finding your place and living life to the full - MacTavish challenges the cultural stereotypes of this genre and instead presents his audience with 'heroes'. Characters that can inspire and lead, not just be accepted. The imaginative stories are deeply researched with creative flair, focusing on the themes of loyalty, duty and the love of family. As a keen competitive swimmer, expect references to an individual's strength and discipline whist championing the notion that sometimes, to be different is to be better.
