I'm glad your books are doing so well! :)

[David]

Thanks Victoria. My thriller is by far the best seller, but I still enjoy writing fantasy.

[Victoria]

That's good to hear, because I enjoy you writing fantasy, so it works out great for us both, LOL!

[David]

Haha. Win, win.

[Victoria]

Yep! :)

If you need any more tempting, here's the latest review:

Jud (Disney Diva) rated it 5 of 5 stars
After reading (and loving) the Fuel to the Fire series by the same author (David Staniforth) I bought this book and I wasn't disappointed.

Alloria is the kind of fantasy book that I love, there's magic, intrigue and secret connections bonding certain people together, all woven together to make a wonderful story which is light hearted in feel yet gripping. It didn't take me long to finish the book once I had started, right from the beginning I was able to empathise with Alloria and Nat as well and even Bane didn't take long to win my heart. There were moments where I feared for the characters and moments where I smiled and silently cheered for them.

I can't wait for the next in the series and although I wish that I had read this book sooner the teasing hints left towards the end of Alloria make me glad that I didn't or I would just have to wait longer for the next installment, it can't come quick enough I want to know more about Xsanderumn,the Labyrinth and the other worlds beyond!

[Victoria]

Another awesome review! :)

[David]

I was pleased with it :~)

With good reason! :)

The first review of 2015 has landed, and the lucky book is



Katie.g's review Jan 02, 15
4 of 5 stars
bookshelves: fantasy, arc
Read from December 30, 2014 to January 02, 2015

Why reach for rainbows when you can dance among the stars?

I am embarrassed to admit that this powerful, rich fantasy novel has been sitting patiently in my ereader for many months. Whilst gathering metaphorical dust, I frequently forgot that the book was still there and after such a length of time if you'd asked me what it was supposed to be about, I couldn't tell you. This is made all the worse by the fact that this was given to me in exchange for a review and I cannot apologise enough to the one author I've let down by not reading their book sooner after I'd promised to do so.

Fuel to the Fire is much shorter than most fantasy novels I've read but despite this, it still packs one hell of a punch! One thing I adore is that Staniforth does not baby us with long explanations of the world, why this is like this and that is like that. As a result, you may find yourself fumbling through the first thirty or so pages not sure entirely what was going on until suddenly you sit up and say "wow, this is good!" So if the first few pages don't grab you I highly recommend that you stick with it!

We first see the world through Davran's eyes. Young, a little naive, she watches the brutal games that Saurian puts on for his own pleasure. A dangerous place to visit at her age, for if anyone were to suspect that a girl was hidden beneath the carefully crafted disguise, she would likely be stolen away to become a slave to the evil ruler. Her very life depends on being able to play the part of a young boy flawlessly. I really liked Davran and her father. Their strong relationship was obvious from the start and as characters were very easy to relate to.

The story was excellent at holding my interest. It never dragged or became boring. Staniforth gradually built up an image of the two worlds and the political state within them through a few key characters, most of whom Davran meets later on in the tale. The sensitive topics such as slavery and death were addressed well, without making it the sole focus of the story. Relationships between the characters are one of the key strenths here. I simply adored Ronyn, Davran, Basalt and Khalil to name a few.

I was very impressed by how much the author was able to pack into such a short book without making it seem overdone. Despite having read only a couple of hundred pages, emotionally I have embarked on the beginning of an epic tale and cannot wait to rejoin the characters in the sequel, Ruler's Desire.

If you're looking for a quick fantasty read with maximum imapact, a compelling storyline and fantastic characters then give Fuel to the Fire a try!

Fuel to the Fire
The first book of a completed trilogy, currently FREE and at number two on the Amazon Sword and Sorcery chart.

Go on download a copy and help me push it to number one; you've nothing to lose, and you might actually enjoy the book.


Having spent her entire life disguised as a boy to avoid the risk of being forced into sexual slavery, fifteen year old Davran finds herself transported to a world thought to be legend. With sunlight, an abundance of food and people that trust, this world is everything her home is not. She could be happy, she could disclose the love she feels for Ronyn (the dragon trainer’s son), but when Hesperus (the Keeper-of-Knowledge) discovers her, she may have to return to a world of misery where even suicide is no escape and where the most frightening monster is not the dragons or the razor-hounds, but the tyrannical ruler, Saurian.

Books one and two of the trilogy and are now in Kindle Select and can therefore be loaned for free through Prime or Kindle Unlimited.

[David]

You'll have to wait a little while longer for book two, but if you've not read book one, that leaves time to catch up with the magic.
