Dirk Lloyd is a Dark Lord. His old address was the Iron Tower of Despair, beyond the Plains of Desolation, in the Darklands. One he ruled over vast lands, commanded Legions of Orcs and Goblins, cast great spells and waged might wars against the White Wizard and his armies.

Now he lives in an ordinary house in an ordinary street in an ordinary town called Whiteshields in Sussex, England, where he has been put into a foster home for... well, 'difficult' children.

Some of his achievements include: building the Iron Tower of Despair, raising vast armies of Orcs and Goblins, the casting of mighty spells and enchantments (including the spell that forced JAMIE THOMSON to submit to his will and record his life story), and excelling in English, science, and math classes in school. He has only recently turned to writing. Be warned - reviewers who adversely criticize this work will be hauled off to his Dungeon of Doom, subjected to the Racks of Pain, and then consigned to the Slave Pits of Never Ending Toil for all eternity.
