of
Fatemarked (The Fatemarked Epic, #1):
"Enjoyable!
If you read a lot of fantasy you know what i mean when i say enjoyable. Some fantasy books or series' in my opinion get way too into their "world" and not as much into the characters or the storyline. Or maybe it's because they spend so muc" Read more of this review » |

Thanks so much Brittany! Slip is a very hard world for my characters to live in, but you've hit the nail on the head: the theme for the series is FAMILY :)

Hi Christine! Great to hear from you :) Can you please email me at davidestesbooks(at)gmail(dot)com so we can chat about your request? Talk to you soon!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope your day will be filled with a lot of joy. You are wonderful writer and been amazing friend. Let your day be Magical.
Jenia.

Hi Joey! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to send me this message, it really made my day! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the Dwellers/Country Saga and that you felt all different emotions throughout the story, that's exactly what I wanted :) I really appreciate all your support and I hope you enjoy my two newest series just as much or more!!! Keep in touch :)


If you don't already have the paperback and want me to send you a signed book, you'll have to wait until I do my next signing, which I'm planning for mid-November. Typically I take orders on signed books for about a week, and then do a bulk order of books which I sign and send to everyone who ordered.
Let me know which option you prefer and I look forward to signing your book!



Good luck with work and conquering the writer's block!

Just seeing how you doing. I still work in summer, just less kids but still pretty busy. How's the writing going? I have bit of writer's block but still trying write something.
Have great weekend
Jenia




It's always great to find a really nice author that enjoys being in touch with his readers.
Greetings from Mexico :)

How you been? So know book i started while back. Forever Promises. I re wrote it bit and it's now 92 pages. I'm trying not edit it too much, not till i finish it. Or never will.
Hope your writing going well.
Jenia



Hope this helps and I really hope you're able to read The Moon Dwellers and the entire Dwellers and Country Sagas!

Moon Dwellers has an ingriguing premise, and I would like to give it a go, but I don't know where to find it in Canada.
Wondering if you knew how I could get my hands on this book without overpaying for shipping from the US.
Thanks.
