Various tribes live within the carpet, power hungry Mouls, cerebral Wights, and Munrungs who while not power hungry do love a good skirmish, but every carpet dweller is in awe of ‘Fray’. It sweeps across the carpet, flattening settlements without warning and setting two brothers and their tribe off on the adventure of a lifetime. Laced with the trademark humour of the disc world novels and illustrated by the author, good clean fun.
I read a lot of books as I review books for an indie bookstore in SLC, Utah. I'm also a writer. The Mary Mac trilogy is out now. The Nikki Doyle trilogy (Rollover, Thunderball and Ms. Scarlett) can also be found at your local indie. Excalibur - the Nikki/Mary crossover was just published.
N.B My blurbs give you just a taste of the plot. Reviews are a pretty subjective matter but the books you'll find here are books I have read and loved.

The Carpet People, Terry Pratchett
When Terry Pratchett was seventeen he wrote a version of this story, it ran as a serial in the Childrens Circle section of the Bucks Free Press where young Pratchett worked and was published as a longer novel in 1971. Who else but Pratchett (who went on to create the discworld series) could set an entire story inside a carpet?
