It’s out! Secrets revealed. Risks taken. Lessons learned.

June 27, 2013 by Tahlia Newland

Book three of the Diamond Peak Series is available for purchase NOW, and wow, it feels great to have it out at last. If you're wondering how the sequels to Lethal Inheritance can come out so fast, it's because I wrote the books between 2007 and 2010, and refined them while my agent searched for a publisher. All I've had to do since book one came out at the end of last year is revise and edit them.  Though Demon's Grip was the most difficult book to write due to its tricky concepts about the difference between love and attachment and liking and craving, thanks to my wonderful team of beta readers and editors it's been a relatively smooth process with an outcome that I'm very happy with. I'm particularly grateful to my editor, Krisi Keley for challenging my meaning and wording. She helped me to say what I want to say as clearly as possible--the mark of an excellent editor. Thank you, Krisi. To mark this milestone, Lethal Inheritance, book one in the series, is only 99c on Kobo and Kindle … [Read more...]

‘Doodling’ & ‘Flidderbugs’ by Jonathan Gould

October 3, 2011 by Tahlia Newland

Doodling This is a quick, fun read about a man who wants to get off the world because it’s spinning too fast. It strikes me as one of those mad ideas you get when an idle comment sets off a visual image, in this case probably someone shouting, ‘stop the world, I want to get off!’  The beauty here is that Gould has actually written this whimsical little book that speaks to the part of ourselves that wants to get away from our crazy world. If you want something light yet poignant, something that makes you look at people and the world through a different lense, then this is a good one.  I recommend it for reading when you’re waiting for a doctor, a dentist, a lawyer or for that girl to show up for your date, anything. It’ll bring a smile to your face and a lightness to your heart. Flidderbugs Flidderbugs is like Dr Seuss without the pictures, and I loved it. This delightful novella has Jonathan Gould’s trademark whimsical touch, and in the tradition of Dr Seuss’s ‘Stars on Thars’, is … [Read more...]
