Well for those of you who didn’t know, I got married on the 29th of Oct and went straight on to the honeymoon in New Zealand.  Needless to say we had a blast!  Nothing like jumping off the Auckland Sky tower, doing some trapeze without safety wires (just some inflatable cushions 6m below), white water rafting, 7 hour caving expeditions (Waitomo 'Lost World Adventure' I can not recommend enough - that is unless your claustrophobic)...

But all good things have to come to an end because unfortunately, 8 months in Quest of the Demon has not yet gone 'Harry Potter' so back to work today!

Tallen is out in 2 more days as well so keep your eyes on this space!

 
Your chance to win The Apoalypse Gene (or an ebook for Quest of the Demon) to celebrate the Launch!  What are you waiting for, heaps of awesome prizes up for grabs.  Check it out!

"Adventure, romance, fantasy, creativity, and mystery surround this tale. It is a never ending ball of excitement" - Marybeth, Manhattan Reader.

All the way on the other side of the world a review for Quest of the Demon.  Thanks Marybeth for your time.  It has made for a very good end to my day!
 
Check it.  "Quest of the Demon was packed with such great characters that I'm eager to learn more about them. Each brought such life to the story that they'll  be hard to forget! I liked that page after page was filled with some type of crazy action! There were beasts of all sorts and plenty of surprises to keep the pages turning." - Stephanie from Book Addict

I would like to thank Steph for her time and for reading Quest of the Demon.  It's always exciting to get such reactions and as an author it really makes me smile!

One thing I have noticed though, as I slowly get my novel out there I'm finding the varying grades from reviewers interesting.  Some give a 3/5 and said (basically) "Meh... it was okay," while others give 3/5 and are like "loved it."  Go figure... 
 
"Overall: A great adventure fantasy series I really want to see more of, ie book 2 Tallen. Strength 4." - Nina from Death Books and Tea.

Thank you to Nina for her kind words and review of Quest of the Demon.  Check out her awesome blog to find more interesting YA titles and keep tuned - Tallen is currently in the formatting stage, almost ready to go.  Exciting times!
 
Thanks to Equilibrium Books I'm now on Amazon.  I've just set up my authors page and now I even have 3 reviews!  Exciting times ahead so watch this space....

"Overall, I really enjoyed this book.  This is kind of random, but I thought the map at the beginning was kind of cool." - Halye.   How awesome is that?  I drew that map (and Neil from Equilibrium books made it more printable) but still.
