A word from David Baker, author of It's Mawdsley

Find David Baker on

It’s Mawdsley was originally published in 2007. This 2022 edition is editorially better and the predecessor to the up-coming second book in the Mawdsley series, World Maw 3.

WM3 is set for a 2023 release, but my publisher wants me to sell more copies of the first book before they think about publishing the second.

If you’re reading this, I spent $54 on this website. Please contact me asap.
