A tangled Webb is woven
18/08/2006 . Source: Jessica Martin 
The latest author to join the John Jarrold Literary Agency is new scifi novelist Richard Webb. His first novel, THE SEEDS OF DISCONTENT, is characterised by Jarrold as 'A wonderfully written fantasy novel, peopled with three-dimensional characters, that has the immediacy of David Gemmell and the overarching plotlines of Steven Erikson and George R R Martin. Richard's ideas for this series are amongst the most fascinating and best thought-out I've ever seen in the fantasy genre.'
Webb has run event management, property development, and lighting design and installation companies during a varied life. He now intends to write full-time.
He says: 'An avid reader of myth and folklore since childhood, I have, whenever time has permitted, written about and sketched imaginary worlds, but work schedules left me with few hours to dedicate to perfecting my projects. Now I have created I'Tearath, a mythical world where magic, not science, predominates, over a planned series of fifteen books. The adventure starts with The Seeds of Discontent, the first in an intended trilogy. It is an epic escapade with timeless themes set in a vibrant magical land where mirror birds flit past winged cats, yet where hero and villain alike show their all-too-human qualities.'
