Thanks for your review of Trust A Few, Audrey - by the way, please post the Amazon links when they show up as I can't sign you off for each book until you have done so :)

Thanks to all who have turning in reviews so far and especially to Francis for completing your commitment to this round.

Do make sure you post your Zon link as well as your GR one - if you think you might forget then you can always wait for both to show before posting.

Thank you, Noor, for reading and reviewing.

Thanks Audrey,
A thanks for noticing the Quebecois swear words, they bring swearing to an artform.

Those Canadian references were a nice little extra for me. And yes, swearing in Quebec is quite different from what we hear in the English speaking world.

[E.M.]

Thanks to Ben, Darell, E.A. and Jeremy, for your reviews - and to Audrey, S.K., D. and Noor for completing your commitments to this round!

For those still in this, you have plenty of time left, the Round 2 deadline is 20 March.

Greetings,

I have two books that are part of an ongoing fantasy trilogy called The Magnus Dynasty Saga. It depicts the adventures of a bloodline of warriors, sorcerers, monster slayers, and dragon riders.



I also have a Kaiju (giant monster) short story, which revolves around a giant monster that is created by a doomsday cult. When the creature emerges from the ocean, a group of friends fight for survival.


All three of these books are in need of reviews. If anyone is interested, give me your email and I will send a PDF file to review.

As for the reading round, I choose to read The Huralon Incident, iRomance, Saved In Time, and She Who Comes Forth.

[E.M.]

Grady, if you sign up for a round you are assigned books, you don't choose them. This round is not open for signups. You need to look for rounds that are titled 'Now Forming' or 'X needed'.
