COMING 2029About the Author
L. A. A. Woodcock
Based among the mountains, lakes, and ancient landscapes of Northern England, L. A. A. Woodcock writes fantasy and gothic fiction shaped by shadow, mystery, and magic.
A lifelong martial artist and 4th Dan British & European Heavyweight Karate Champion and World Champion contender with forty-six years of fighting experience, Woodcock brings discipline, resilience, and an understanding of conflict to every story. After completing a PhD at Lancaster University in 2026, a wandering mind and a lifetime of experience became the foundations of an imaginative world where forgotten powers stir and darkness rarely reveals its intentions.
A major novel is currently approaching from beyond the veil. For now, its secrets remain closely guarded.
