Author Magus Tor
Magus Tor, a fictional name crafted by my game master for me while we were playing Dragon Warriors. I was a Warlock, a fighter with magical powers and thus Magus Tor, the name meaning Magician of the Rocky Peak.
I know I should be writing the bio in a third person view but each has his own preference. I like to be personal and tell people my own story.
I was born and raised in Singapore in a poor family and only started the habit of reading around the age of twelve. I wasn't much of a reader even though I helped out in the school as a librarian. Somehow it was in 1998 when I read the first novel, Magician: Apprentice by Raymond E Feist, and got me hooked to fantasy. Other than reading books by Raymond E Feist, I started to explore David Eddings, Star Wars, Mechwarrior etc. Now you know why I prefer to write fantasy and Scifi.
My very first writing attempt was in 2007, a scifi novel similar to Star Wars, titled New Dawn of the Divine War series. I self published it on iUniverse, with my best friend Aurelia Tan. Later, life became busy and I didn't complete the trilogy. A few years passed by and I was working on a playing card game, Dragon Nine Playing Card. While working on the card, I decided to write a fantasy novella to complement it, so D-Nine: Protectors of the Crown was written in 2010. By then, Amazon started Kindle Direct Publishing and I jumped onto the bandwagon. Ever since, I had published more than 20 titles. Hopefully I can hit a hundred printed titles before I retire.
