My book, The Viking's Apprentice, has been out since March 28th in the kindle store and April in paperback. It is a middle grade , 8+, fantasy adventure set in modern times.
It is my first book and I am delighted with the response.
Every review across goodreads and amazon has been 5 stars (24 so far). If you visit amazon.co.uk you will see my favourite reviews, both from children.
Thank you for every purchase and for every review. I really appreciate all of them.
I have been lucky enough to get to number 1 in Canada in my genre and as high as number 2 in the US.
To top that though, The Viking's Apprentice, was taken on by schools in the west of Scotland as their reading book for 8+. I got a chance to go and speak to some of the kids which was a great day. Their teacher told me that my book had inspired a non reading boy to begin to love reading. That was one of the highlights of my career as an author.
The Viking's Apprentice is also doing very well in the Listopia lists. I won't list them all, but here are a few.
No.1 in 'Books for boys who hate reading'
No. 1 in 'Smart Novels to read to your kids'
No.1 in 'Indie April releases' (paperback)
No. 3 in 'Best new children's book'
My book is exclusively on Amazon for the ebook and available at a whole host of outlets in paperback format.
