Received in the Post

Before Christmas I got an email from a friendly chap called Paul Stapleton. He knows I like my post-apocalyptic fix and asked if I might like to review his graphic novel for my blog. The thing is, I don't really have time to write reviews at the mo, so I said I'd be happy to do a feature.

Paul sent me a copy anyway (nice!) and a couple of days later I received a thin brown packet through the post. It sat on the windowsill for a day or so as I've been too busy to look at it (Man-flu has arrived chez Casa Boland).

Finally, I got around to opening it - The Undisputed King of Nothing, Volume 1 'Goodbye to all That'. Interesting artwork. Flipped it over - intriguing blurb on the back. Yup, looking forward to reading this one asap. I think my husband's got his eye on it too.

Contest Winner Announcement!

I didn't know how I was going to decide who would win the opportunity

to star in my upcoming novel, Thicker than Blood, so I roped in a little help.

I asked my sons (aged 8 and 4) to draw the name out of a hat (a cowboy one!).

Of course, they argued about who was going to actually draw the name,

so I said they could draw a name each. So-o-o that means two names,

which means two winners!!!

The winners are:

Sergell Elioreg

and

Zoe Marshall

Congratulations to you both!

Can you message me using the 'contact me' page?

Thanks so much to everyone else for entering.

As it was so popular, I may do this again in the future...

Be a Vampire in my Latest Novel

Winner to be announced Saturday December 3rd!

Only One Week Left To Be My Vampire

Last month I asked if anyone would like to be a character in Thicker than Blood my upcoming sequel to Hidden. So far, nearly 70 of you have entered. I've no idea how I'm going to choose, but I'd better get thinking because there's only one week left until I have to make the decision.

Part of the novel will be set in 6th century Byzantium and here's a taster of where my lucky vampire might live - Cappadocia in winter...

Of course, as a vampire you'll never get to experience it in daylight. Your view will be something like this...

OUT NOW! Fairy Thief by Johanna Frappier

So, you all probably know that Fairy Circle is one of my favourite books and so I'm thrilled and delighted that author friend, Johanna Frappier, has agreed to tell us a little about the recently released sequel, Fairy Thief.

Hi Shalini! Thank you so much for letting me stop by. I wanted everyone to know that the next installment in The Fairy Circle Series, FAIRY THIEF, is now available as an eBook on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and all the other lovely E retailers. The paperback is available on Amazon.

Here's what FAIRY THIEF is about:

It has been a year since Saffron Keller traveled to the Fairyrealm. She had no intention of ever mixing with fairy-kind again. When the fairy, Ny, steals the soul of her human love, Markis, she finds herself entangled once more in all that is beautiful and magical and torturous. To find Markis, she must travel through different realms - alternate planes of existence and spaces of time – all before her life in the Earthrealm passes too far into the future.

Not wanting the help of the possessive fairy, Li, whom Saffron has shared turbulent past lives with – she is instead paired up with two immature boy fairies, Tai and Wo, who try her patience to the very limits of tolerance. As the three pass through realms they meet others who hinder and help them on their way: Orji - the handsome man with the bad bed-side manner, Deva - the cow who has the twins besotted, a monster of a prince, and the most vile dragon lady in one hundred realms.


Woohoo! Now I'm so excited to read it! Sounds like it's going to be another great story with an exotic cast of weird and wonderful characters. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I know that vile dragon lady personally. Thanks so much for stopping by, Johanna, and good luck with Fairy Thief!
