Osbert Norman-Walter, writer, playwright, journalist, and Astrological Consultant 'Seginus' of the News of the World (1937-39) conceived Wizard's Woe, in his twenties around 80 years ago but could find no publisher. On his death in 1974, his daughter Marion Athorne inherited an unfinished trilogy. Married with three children, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild, Marion has only recently had the necessary time to commit to working on a manuscript that comprised more than a million words. She enrolled with the Writers Bureau early in 2004, and studied the new writing techniques. The result? The publication of two articles and a win in a short story competition, which helped with giving her confidence to author the revised, edited, and abridged version of a now complete trilogy that is 'Merlyn's Legacy'. She sincerely hopes that Book One, 'Wizard's Woe' will achieve the wider readership that her father's inspiration deserved.
