Editor’s Choice Award

I’m amazed to receive Editor’s Award for Literary Excellence for Virus of Beauty. https://eurozone.einnews.com/pr_news/...

On other news The Veil of Corruption now available on Audible and Amazon.
The holiday season came early.

AUDIOBOOK RELEASED

It's here and I'm so excited for you to listen to the audiobook. I think you'll agree that Laura Graves's narration is outstanding. You can listen to a preview on Audible and Amazon.com.

"In a world where ugliness equals power, fear grips the witch population as the Virus of Beauty spreads like wildfire. At the heart of this unrest lies Wilf Gilvary, a teenage wizard overwhelmed with terror of his own magical abilities. Tragedy strikes when Wilf’s father perishes under mysterious circumstances, and the mystical Mages Crystal shatters. Wilf is thrust into the midst of a power struggle between witches and wizards within the Magical Realm, and finds himself torn between the life of an ordinary Hong Kong teenager and that of a sorcerer.

The key is a vaccine cure locked within the journal Wilf inherited from his father. Unfortunately, the enchantment is linked to Wilf's knowledge and use of magic. When Katryna falls victim to the virus, Wilf must conquer his fears to unlock the secrets within the journal to save his friend. But time is running out. Will Wilf find the strength to confront his dread of magic before the Virus of Beauty consigns Katryna—and perhaps the entire witch community—to a tragic fate?"



I hope you enjoy the production and would appreciate your review on either/ both platforms. Thank you.

The next book in the series should be released soon. Laura has started recording The Veil of Corruption - Book 2 and we are working towards the entire trilogy being available for the 2024 Holiday Season.
