About this author

Funny, FIREBRAND has been out since late 2003 and I'm still getting reviews for it. Well, not so funny really. One of the perks of being electronically published is remaining in print longer than the few weeks tradtional publishers tend to give a novel. If a title doesn't sell, book stores send the copies back for credit and the author sinks to oblivion despite any efforts they might have made at self-promotion.

In the e-book world, that isn’t the case. Writers have time to build a fan base and promote their work which is what I have been doing since 2003 with Firebrand. So imagine my delight when I got a request for review copies of Firebrand and Recruit from a reviewer at Midwest Book Reviews right before Christmas!

Hywela Thanks so much for the invite Debra. I still haven't read The House of Pendragon, I have so many books to read and am still editing - and trying to write the next two - but your invite reminded me and I've put it down as next to be read. I am so looking forward to it.
