A WIZARD HELPS ELF

The first novel of a fantasy trilogy about an Elf Wizard is now available in support of the Exeter Leukaemia Fund (ELF). The novel 'Wizard’s Woe', has been written by the mother in law of RD&E consultant haematologist Dr Malcolm Hamilton.  The manuscript was bequeathed to the 80 year old Marion Athorne by her father in 1974 and has been published by local Cullompton publisher i4w2.  Copies at £6.99 can be ordered through the author’s website www.wizardswoe.com, Otter Bookshop, Ottery St Mary, or through the ELF Office.  Each sale will generate £2.25 for ELF. 

Dr Hamilton commented; "I am delighted that my family is able to help ELF in this small way.  Without the charity’s support fantastic strides in treating leukaemia, lymphoma and other blood diseases across the South West would not have happened." 

ELF supports  the excellent work of the Haematology Centre at the RD&E hospital in Exeter, by providing funds for enhanced patient care, state of the art equipment and research.
