Good News

Over at the Galaxy Bookshop’s Blog Spot there is a give away of The King’s Bastard and … drum roll …

Book one of King Rolen’s Kin has slipped into number 9 on their best seller list.

I can’t quite believe it.  A big thank you to all those people who have taken a punt on this new series. And a big thank you to the staff at Galaxy bookshop!

Where would we writers be without specialist bookstores?

Not a review, more of a reflection …

Copies of KRK book one are presently winging their away across the globe to the US, the UK, but also, Malta, Romania and Sweden!

So far there’s this post, which isn’t exactly a review, more reflection on the book.

She says:

‘Some mornings you have a dream that’s so wonderful you don’t want to wake up.  It’s full of unanswered questions and ideas that need to be followed.  The remnants of those thoughts cling to every moment of your day, but dreaming once more brings no relief.  Ah, the dream is lost forever!
The ending to The King’s Bastard reminded me of this feeling. ‘

You can read the rest of the post here.

I find it interesting because it isn’t about the plot or the writing. It’s about one person’s reaction to the book.

As a writer, I’m reaching out, sharing my dreams with readers. It’s nice to know I reached someone.

KRK Book One – Free Sample

Over HERE at the Solaris Blog, also known as When Gravity Fails, they have announced the first chapter of KRK book one is available for download.

Hope you enjoy.

And of course the good thing is that books two and three will be released in August and September. No waiting, for you fantasy junkies.

I know I would much rather buy a whole series so I don’t have to wait for the next book.  In fact, if I find an author I like, I buy all their books and read them in chronolgical order to see how they develop as a writer.

But not everyone is as obsessed as me.
