Kristy Centeno has just released an interview I did with her a couple of weeks ago in which we talked about my writing journey over the past couple of years as well as providing an opportunity to share with her readers a little sneak peek about my forthcoming novel. I appreciate the support that Kristy has given me and I enjoyed chatting with her.Kristy is an author in her own right and has an exciting series of books called Forbidden Mate which I encourage you to take a look at.
Books reviewer Sharon Tyler posted her review of 'The Hambledown Dream' this past week, describing it as a "deep and enthralling book" whose characters kept her emotionally invested in the story long after she finished reading it.
Considered reviews like this are, of course, always welcome and it's encouraging for me as an author. I value constructive critiques of my work so that I can make future works better.
Laurie from "Paranormal Thoughts and Reviews" posted a feature and interview we did a couple of weeks ago and we've offered up a signed digital copy of "The Hambledown Dream" as a prize in a sweepstakes that is running until the beginning of September. For your chance to win, visit the interview over at her website.
This coming Wednesday, August 22nd, I will speaking to the children of The Pines School at Parafield Gardens in South Australia as part of their book week celebrations. With a focus on the philosophy "Champions Read", I'll be talking to the students about reading and writing and encouraging them to foster their imaginations. I'm really excited at the opportunity to speak to kids and the joys of reading and writing and I am really looking forward to it.
Third round edits on the manuscript for "Gifts Of The Peramangk" are close to completion from my editing team and I'll be taking over the reigns once more to conduct the forth round. In the mean time, Central Avenue Publishing has released the product specs for the novel, including an excerpt and cover art. Check them both out here
I've released the cover art myself in my books section. While this is close to the final artwork, there will be a couple of subtle tweaks applied to it by the art team at C.A.P. which I think will really set the cover off beautifully.
