In The Last Resort the author creates an epic of its own, echoing seminal writers of the past that inspired him to write as a form of creative escapism in the first place. In a fantasy land of a fantasy world somehow echoing and very much resembling ours, with customs and traditions stemming from our history, legends and legendary creatures attached; we are transported into one of kind tourists attraction; an eccentric mix of real and unreal campsite, where an upper world visibly shows signs of picturesque humanly corrupted country living and an underground made of caves inhabited by folk elves creatures aspiring to be integrated with the rest of the population and ultimately reign. This world created by the author inspires our exploration as readers; here everyday life entwines with fragments of superpower espionage, mystery, seasonal ceremonies, rites and rituals, anthropomorphic pagan gods, goddesses of the natural elements and supernatural entities of otherworldly dimensions, overseeing, controlling and watching over the unfolding of stories of the locals and non-locals, in a challenge for a last resort, a quest for the leadership at the top.

A retired Offshore Installation Inspection Engineer Terry Hotchin started to write many, many years ago at work on the Brent Delta a Shell Oil Installation to fill the time between catastrophes. After listening to an interview with an author to whom it was suggested that it must be difficult to write a novel, his reply was "not really, I find if I write a page every day then at the end of the year I've written a book."
He lives in Ayr in Scotland but was born in Scunthorpe and lived most of his life in Winterton, North Lincolnshire.
