I Heart Reading - Review of Quest of the Demon all the way from Belgium
"I like it when authors can grasp a cliché concept and turn it around to be rather original anyway, and M.L. Sawyer has successfully managed to that in this book." - Majanka Verstraete from I Heart Reading.
I'd just like to thank Majanka for her kind words as well as her very detailed review and interview! Can be found here; http://booklog.eternalised.net/2011/06/book-review-quest-of-the-demon-by-m-l-sawyer/

July 9th - Book signing at Collins Book Store Northland
My first book signing is scheduled for the 9th of July at Collins Book store at Northland Shopping Centre, Preston. I'll be there from 10.30 - 1pm signing books, talking and... well, sitting. I'm just excited to be in a real book store!... Update on the book signing. All went well, it's a great feeling to have random strangers talk to you about your writing and then to buy your book and wish you luck! Thanks to those who stopped by! Some photos below.

About me...
I have been a writer ever since I can remember. At the age of 6 I created a book that, with the assistance of the school secretary, was put into our school library for people to borrow.
Now I think that perhaps only one or two people ever borrowed it out in the time between it being there and it being given to me when I left primary school but that doesn't matter.
If you're a writer, you just know. You write not because you can or because you want to make money. No. You're a writer when you need to write.
For me, writing was all consuming at times. My notebook would be with me everywhere and it would be what I would dream about at night before going to sleep at times having to write things down before I could close my eyes.
I was fourteen when I began another story that for the first time, took control of me. As I was writing, it was as if I was reading a new story. Even I did not know what was going to happen or where it would end! This became my first novel, Quest of the Demon which, fourteen years later, is finally due for publication early 2011 to be followed by additional titles Tallen, Elflings, Silence Rising and at least three more titles yet to be completed.
This is my official website, welcome to my world.
