“Think about Praying Mantis. The deadliest ninja predator. Why isn't his animus a lion or a polar bear - two of the most successful killing machines in the animal kingdom? The answer is that these animals would not be right for him. Think how a praying mantis is invisible on a leaf, how they are carnivores who will devour their own species. The female will even eat her own partner once they've mated and, as hatchlings, their first meal is often one of their own siblings. These are the things that matter to Praying Mantis - and if you study his attributes, they are elements that will help you defeat him.”

“I've been told
that people in the army
do more by 7:00 am
than I do
in an entire day
But if I wake
at 6:59 am
and turn to you
to trace the outline of your lips
with mine
I will have done enough
and killed no one
in the process.”

“The great writers have always been great readers, but that does not mean that they read all the books that, in their day, were listed as the indispensable ones. In many cases, they read fewer books than are now required in most of our colleges, but what they did read, they read well. Because they had mastered these books, they became peers with their authors. They were entitled to become authorities in their own right. In the natural course of events, a good student frequently becomes a teacher, and so, too, a good reader becomes an author.”

Thank you very much for the signed copy!

I'll try to write a review of book 1 once I finish it. I hope I can make an easy to understand review with my humble level of english, I can't promise I'll be able to, but I'll try.
Thanks :)
Thanks Sudenshna - that's great to hear! I'll keep you a copy of book 2. jx
That's great - thank you! Hope you enjoy it! jx

Hi, Jane! Thank you for adding me as your friend :)I already download Hattori Hachi 1st book and currently reading it! :D
Hi Lucinda. Thank you so much for your fabulous review! I'm genuinely thrilled that you enjoyed book 2 as well. It so often feels that books go off into the ether with no sense of whether people are enjoying them, so it is especially heartwarming to hear your enthusiastic response. Please do tell friends about the books - the hardest part of writing is letting people know about the stories. Thanks for being my Goodreads friend and for giving my day such a lovely lift. Jx
Dear Jane,I concider myself extremely lucky to have read book one in the trilogy 'Hattori Hachi: Revenge of the praying mantis' as it was apsolutely increadible! Thank you so much for sending me book two, which i can honestly say was even better hence i hope that my reviews of your work help in promoting it.
Thank you for being my friend here on Gooreads, which is an honor and a delight.

Brilliant - thank you! If you review both, I'll send you a copy of book 3, since you already have book 2 which I'm offering 10 copies of to people who review book 1. Hope you enjoy them both and let me know when you post your reviews, so I can mail you number 3. jx
Hi again, Jane!I have started reading the first book of Hattori Hachi and it is very interesting so far. I can't wait to find out what will happen. I will write a review after I finish it, and then I'll read the second book too, the one that I have won on Goodreads.

Hi Adela. That's brilliant news! I am posting your copy to you today - I hope you enjoy it! You've helped us get some downloads in Romania - thank you! Best wishes, Jane.
Wow, Jane, Goodreads announced me that I have won the second novel of Hattori Hachi! This must be my lucky week!
That's fantastic - thank you! I posted a response for your readers. I really appreciate your support - and maybe one of your readers will be the 1000th person to download The Revenge of Praying mantis and have a character in a future story named after them...?
Great job spreading the word - we've just had loads of downloads in Indonesia! Thank you! You've passed Australia in the download table and could easily catch the United States and then you might have a future story set in your country... Follow the website for a progress report and do blog to tell us about the evil things you would want Hattori Hachi to sort out for you if she came to visit. Keep up the great work!
Hi Jane, thanks for the add and info about free ebook on your site.Gonna tell my friend about it :D
Hi Tama! Great to e-meet you! Had a great day - hope you did too.
