The book signing was fantastic! I sold almost all the books! Thanks to
manager Connor. Also to my first sale Chris!
Awesome book signing tomorrow in WHSmith Southside, Wandsworth 11am-3pm. I’m very excited to do it and hope many will attend! Please come along and see me!
Less than two days to go to my book signing. I’m so excited! Just to let you know, I take inspiration from books I’ve read, the television, animation, and stories told to me in Uganda when I was young. The stories told to me involved witch doctors, magic, witches, ghosts, spirits, mythical creatures and warring tribes, which were generally told around the family campfire by my grandparents and the local witch doctor.
The books I will be signing this Saturday at WHSmith Wandsworth Southside shopping centre (11am to 3pm) are Inock Tehan and the Phantom of the Ruins and Inock Tehan and the Forbidden Clan. I know and have been told repeatedly that they are very interesting reads with plot twists and great characters! The books have life lessons, some adult themes, and humour; great reads for all ages.
Inock Tehan and the Phantom of the Ruins is the first book where we meet Inock Tehan – the main character. He goes on missions for a very powerful oracle, goes into other worlds, talks with dragons and does magic himself.
Inock Tehan and the Forbidden Clan is the second book in the series where Inock Tehan needs to free an exiled witch. In this book Inock has to battle evil witches, learns and struggles to master his demon powers, which he keeps secret from his family, and even learns a spell or two. You can get your signed copies this Saturday!
Thanks

I take inspiration from books I've read, the television, movies, animation, and stories told to me in Uganda when I was young. The stories told to me involved witch doctors, magic, witches, ghosts, spirits, mythical creatures and warring tribes, which were generally told around the family campfire by my grandparents, mother, aunts and uncles and the local witch doctor.
My first book:
Synopsis:
Inock Tehan is just like any other 13-year-old; he enjoys watching TV, spending time with his friends and he definitely does not like school! Inock is -shall we say- different in many ways, however. He lives in Kasama, a magic city inhabited by many enchanted creatures, and is a demon himself! His favourite TV show is Power Trials, and in school, he learns all about the ancient and famous witches and demons of his world. When Inock mischievously takes his dad's special Onis flute against his ghost friend Rozanthia's advice, a series of events unravel. Mabiyah the Oracle sends Inock on a special mission where he encounters phantoms, demons, a dragon and a very special person from another world. Blackwood Chronicles: Inock Tehan and the Phantom of the Ruins is an exciting story, full of surprises, that takes the reader on an exciting adventure into a completely new world.
Again, I would like to say thank you to Karen at the Letterpress Project. A thank you to Matthew James publishing. Thank you to Vittorio Mattioli for his work. Thank you to Susan Mears. Thank you to Spitfire Media.
A thank you to Mike French for his hard work. And of course a big thank you to Austin Macauley Publishers.

INOCK TEHAN BOOK ONE SYNOPSIS.
Blackwood Chronicles: Inock Tehan and the Phantom of the Ruins - A Children Fantasy to Cheer You up! Blackwood Chronicles: Inock Tehan and the Phantom of the Ruins By A. A. Wise Inock Tehan is just like any other 13-year-old; he enjoys watching TV, spending ...
About the author
Allan Andrew Wise (A. A. Wise), born in Uganda, East Africa, moved to England as a young boy. His interest in fantasy literature appeared at a young age and he has been devouring fantasy novels ever since.
Allan’s first book, Inock Tehan and the Phantom of the Ruins, was published by Austin Macauley in 2017. His second novel in that series, Inock Tehan and the Forbidden Clan was published by Austin Macauley in May this year. The books are available on Amazon and in bookstores.
The first book is centred around a thirteen-year-old boy called Inock Tehan. Inock lives in a different world to ours. A world full of witches, demons and many magical creatures.
Allan designed Inock to be a bit mischievous and fun loving because he was a little like this as a child. He designed Inock’s best friend as a friendly, knowledgeable ghost to add wisdom and balance. Inock later meets his other friends Lalita and Andre as the story progresses. Andre is black and they are all around the same age.
Allan wrote this story because he enjoys fantasy stories and so wanted to create a story of his own that others could enjoy.
Allan takes inspiration from books he’s read, the television, movies, animation, and stories told to him in Uganda when he was young.
Excerpt of Blackwood Chronicles: Inock Tehan and the Phantom of the ruins
By A. A. Wise
‘You charge way too much for lessons here at your school,’ argued Laden, pointing a finger at Inock’s big brother.
‘Look, I’m not the one who sets the prices,’ Torend retorted. ‘You’ll have to come back when my father isn’t busy. He sets the prices!’
‘Every time we come here he’s busy,’ said Laden, laying a hand on his little sister’s shoulder. ‘And you always tell us to come back later.’
‘I wouldn’t lie about…’
‘Look, Torend,’ Laden interrupted, ‘my little sister recently came into her powers and she needs to see a power-trainer. Her powers keep going out of control. And they’ll only get worse if she doesn’t see the power-trainer right away.’
‘I understand what you’re saying but I can’t book you in,’ said Torend. ‘My mother said no. Why don’t you just go and see another power-trainer?’
‘Oh, come on, Torend. You know there isn’t another power-trainer for miles. And I can’t afford to send her to the Secilia Power Academy; they charge a fortune!’
(The Secilia Power Academy was a very famous school for demons and witches. It was in a faraway city.)
Torend was about to reply when he was interrupted by a pair of angry-looking men accompanied by two vile creatures; these were venators with their ghastly onis!
Venators were the police of Inock’s world. They were bald, black men with green eyebrows and they always looked angry. They wore a uniform of dark green, knee-length silk jackets with long black sleeves, black trousers and black boots and they always had black whips hanging from their waists. They also wore a green metallic brace around their necks. Venators were invariably accompanied by onis – large black creatures that came up to a man’s waist. They looked like gigantic dogs – like a bull terrier with large red eyes, no ears and two very long, scaly tails that writhed like serpents behind them. They had long jaws that resembled a crocodile’s, packed with lots of sharp, stained teeth.
Venators always used these horrible creatures to help them patrol the streets. You’d never see a venator without an onis.
‘What’s the commotion here?’ one of the venators snapped.
‘Nothing’s wrong,’ replied Torend.
‘Who asked you guys to butt in?’ spat Laden.
‘You’re causing a scene,’ hissed one of the venators, reaching for the black whip at his waist.
The two onis snarled at Laden, their four tails thrashing about behind them.
Seeing the two vicious creatures snarl like that reminded little Inock of something – the Onis flute. He reached into his pocket, took it out and stared at it. It looked exactly like the little flute one of the angry venators was holding. He wondered if the dog-like creatures would do what he wanted if he blew into it. Would they come and stand by his side? Could he make them chase the angry venators away from his brother?
Inock just had to find out. He raised the green flute to his mouth and was about to blow into it when Rozanthia screamed out, ‘No, Inock! Don’t!’
