Why Fantasy?

So why a fantasy story?
I've always been a huge fan of fantasy, even at a young age I was reading about knights and loved the descriptions of medieval England. I was also a huge fan of dinosaurs, which was a natural leap to mythical dragons.

As I got older I would marvel at epic fantasy books, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and their TV or film counterparts. Rich engaging worlds which were a visual feast for my imagination.

I wanted a piece of the action, I've always enjoyed writing but never completed a full  piece of work. One evening I just started writing about a boy, living in a fantasy world with dragons. This developed and grew to become the completed manuscript I have today.

I'm now 20,000 words into the sequel and hope to continue with the series. One day, if I'm very lucky, I must just find an agent and a publisher :)
