Cape Town Book Fair

Here is another couple of pics from the Cape Town Book Fair. A pic of the Macmillan Stand all nice and neat and one of me in front of the stand scaring away the potential customers. There is also a pic of the speakers of the presentation, they did a great job and it was very interesting finding out about the project as a whole. The staff of Macmillan did an awesome job setting up the stand, preparing for the event and looking after us authors.



The Empty Macmillan Stand looking all spiffy and cool


Myself scaring away the public :p

The First "The Red Stone" Review

Hi all,

Just wanted to let everyone know about a review I got for The Red Stone from fellow Author Rick Saunders. Have to say it really made my day! I'm thinking of it as an early Christmas present :)

"I couldn't put the book down! I read it throughout the day at work, then had some considerable time in the doctor's waiting room to read later in the day. So when I got home I started reading and the next thing I knew it was 2am and I was finishing the book. I REALLY enjoyed it. I loved the way you developed the characters and their relationships. And it has been a long time since I've seen dragons and other species used well in such stories. The relationship between Tannen and Berrinn reminded me of the original Joel Rossenberg fantasy books that I really loved (not the JR who writes political books). Well done! I hope to see a future adventure for the new Lord Protector sometime."

Rick's official review is on Amazon and the Publisher's site:
