Hello, and welcome to the official Oswain Tales website! My name is John Houghton and I am the author of the books. This is a publicity picture of me dressed as King Argil - that's Oswain's father in the books. Well, it was fun!
There will be five different stories in the Oswain Tales series. You can read them in any order, but the best order will be:
Hagbane's Doom and Gublak's Greed are in the bookshops right now. Click on News to find out when the next one wll be published and anything else that may be interesting. If you can't find a good bookshop that stocks them locally you can also order directly from http://www.amazon.co.uk/ or Starshine Music Ltd. I hope you will enjoy reading my books. If you want a sneak preview, click on the links for Hagbane's Doom and Gublak's Greed. I am often invited into primary schools to speak. I usually read dramatised extracts from my books to several classes at once and then answer questions. After that, I do storytelling and writing workshops with one class at a time or with smaller groups. If I am invited to your school I will bring copies of my books for you to buy and I will sign them personally. To find out more about school visits click on Schools. Click on Picture Gallery to see some of my early paintings, children's drawings, and photographs from some school visits. There is also a wonderful musical called Hagbane's Doom - the Musical which your school may like to perform. Click on Hagbane's Doom to find out more. You can also hear me reading extracts from the books. If you enjoy the books, why not send an email or a picture that you have drawn? Click on Contact me. We'll post the best on the site with just your first name and no address. Click on Have your say to see what others think.
