Eternal Destiny has its first review and it’s 5 stars!

Eternal Destiny has its first review and it’s 5 stars. It’s by Awesome Indies reviewer, Clive Johnson. A couple of excerpts: “Following on from the previous books in the series, all the characters continue to gain depth and colour, discovering more about themselves. This is particularly true of Ariel and Nick, and their relationship. Nick’s long running fears about his ability to defeat Cogin are also resolved, but with a twist I’d best not reveal here, other than to say that it marries well with the overall thrust of the deeper narrative.” “The writing is of a high standard, effortlessly bringing the tale alive and making it thoroughly engaging. A fine end to the Diamond Peak Series.” You can read the whole review here.

Another 5 star review for Demon’s Grip.

Okay, so I’m boasting  again, but if I can’t do it on my own website, where can I do it?  Here’s my latest Amazon review for Demon’s Grip. 5.0 out of 5 stars Deep Running Waves of Emotion and Cunning Demons. July 27, 2013 By Mr. Richard Lw Bunning This is the third of a planned four parts. All three books already published can be read as one offs, but I advise starting with “Lethal Inheritance: Diamond Peak”. Just how original Newland’s fantastical vision is becomes far clearer in this latest book. Meat is being put on the characters, even on those of the demons. Also, we are beginning to understand better what the Peak itself is all about. The metaphysical aspects of the series are being steadily reinforced, as are the human and humanistic interactions. As we are drawn along this other path, which stands alongside our physical world, I increasingly wonder…

Another 5 star review for Stalking Shadows: once again, a well-driven, well-plotted voyage through well-drawn, well-imagined worlds

Evie Woolmore wrote a review of Stalking Shadows in which she says (among other things) “once again, a well-driven, well-plotted voyage through well-drawn, well-imagined worlds.” She also notes the importance of Nick’s  POV in the this installment of the series. “Often YA fiction sees things from only the girl’s point of view, so this  is a welcome addition to the novel.” Her review gives an insight into the issues dealt with in the novel.

“Honestly? It was awesome!” Another review of ‘Stalking Shadows’

Another stop on the blog tour. Today I’m at Crazy Four Books with the delightful Brenda. It seems that Stalking Shadows left her speechless. I quote,  “I can’t even begin to describe all of the action you’ll find in this highly imaginative journey.” Curious? Pop on over and see what else she has to say. You’ll also get the opportunity to WIN A COPY of Lethal Inheritance, book one in the Diamond Peak series. http://crazyfourbooks.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/vbt-review-and-giveaway-stalking.html?show Some of my readers may have noticed that this is a very relaxed blog tour. I booked visits for every second day, so I’d have some breathing space, which was just as well because my computer crashed yesterday and I had to do some time consuming damage control.

‘Just like the first book, this one kept me on the edge of my seat!’ A blog tour review of ‘Stalking Shadows’

Another glowing review of Stalking Shadows. This kind of response is what keeps us authors writing, and the reviewer is from my target audience – a real young adult. A quote: ‘This story is never what you expect. I eagerly await the next book!’ I’m glad I can keep the surprises coming. Wait until you see the next book, Ariel’s mum does something even I never expected. Be supportive and pop over to the Librarian’s Book shelf to read the full review. http://thelibrariansbookshelf.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/mini-review-and-blog-tour-stalking.html

Some nice person submitted You Can’t Shatter Me to the Indie Book of the Day people and they gave it an award.  Thank you, it’s a lovely surprise. I hope that it brings the book to the attention of all those people who could benefit from a fresh and empowering approach to dealing with bullying.  People are saying lovely things about the book, but the word of its existence still hasn’t got far. If you can help share the news, I’d appreciate it. Kindle US Kindle UK Kobo Barnes & Noble Apple Paperback links here.
