Welcome Nicola! You'll find loads of friendly big kids in our group.I'm pleased you've joined us and the friend request is on its way!
Here's a link to the book.

Hi Nicola, love love love the cover!! That alone made me want to read the book before I even read the blurb. Please do let us know when it is available and I, for one, will be downloading x
Wow. The new cover is wonderful!
Here's a link to the book.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alice-P..."
Think I am gonna wait for the re-release as I have loads TBR already and on't want this one to get lost amongst them!
I'm going to wait for the new edition, as well.Be sure to let us know when it's ready please Nichola.
Thanks for the link, Patti! And I now have two more friends, Emma and Patii! Yay!Just heard from my editor to say he's finished, so shouldn't be long until 2nd edition is ready :)
Sorry, I meant Patti. I wonder, as a garden designer, if I've just stumbled across the real plural of 'patio.' Mmm. I think I need a break! All work and no play makes Niki a dull girl.
Thanks Bob! Looks a good site, I'll fill out the form to join.
The song Patio Lanterns By Kim Mitchell was sort of my theme song for years, so you're not far off the mark, Niki!
Hi all!Sorry I've been a bit anti-social for a while, but at least I have a good excuse. The 2nd edition of 'Alice Parker's Metamorphosis' is now available. Approx. 3000 words longer than the first edition, you've just got time to read it before the sequel is published in a few weeks!
Hope you enjoy it and might consider a review ;)
Many thanks x
Welcome, Nicola. Looks good! Is it in paperback? One of the reviews mentioned 38,000 words - is that correct? Also, let me know which category it best suits, and I'll add it to my indie author fantasy bookstore at http://www.writers-and-publishers.com...
Hi DMJust had a look at your brilliant website. I'm still struggling with marketing, so I'm in awe of your achievement so far! In fact, I've just posted in the agony aunt section... I'm on Smashwords too, so haven't done KDP freebie days.
My book is approx 41,000 words now, and probably best described by your contemporary fiction category. Paperback is in progress. Thanks so much.
Thanks - but my web site is pretty uncolourful and imageless ;) I've added your book.
Feel free to join and post on my FB group too:

I shall not renew with KDP Select, as I want my book available everywhere, but it is good for a boost, so it might be an idea to enrol a book in it to get noticed.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Nicola, great to see you here :) xx
Thanks Carl! Hope all is going well with TH.
Thanks for adding my book to your website, Darren.Just to let you all know, Book 2 of the Alice Parker series will be called 'Alice Parker and the Mind Magician.' Due for release just before Easter.
Just received the proof copy of Book 1 in paperback. So excited to have a real book in my hand! Shiny and mysterious! Should be available in a week or so, I think. Although I've heard it takes longer for paperbacks to become available through amazon.:)
Nicola, I have just started book one. Will review when done. Looks promising so far. :-)
Ooh, thank you Emma! I hope you like the magic, being a download fairy.
Free on 5th and 6th April if you know any one who might like a copy:)Alice Parker's Metamorphosis
Book 1 of the new fantasy adventure series for children
I'll pop the link into today's freebie thread for you Nicola.
Thanks anyway, Patti! I'm learning :)
The cover is brilliant I really like it and it had me interested before I read the blurb. And I'm sure you'll get a fair few reviews from those of us on here who read it. We're good little kindle bugs that way
Thanks Jud! Reviews would be nice ;)
I read this booK and loved it.
I am about 70% through now and loving it :-)
Thanks Sarah and Emma, that's so good to hear! :)
Just to say, Alice Parker's Metamorphosis is still free today.It's currently no.1 on amazon.com in children's action and adventure! How funny does my little book look sitting next to the Hunger Games?! ;)
Hey Nicola, I finished it last night and reviewed it in the usual places for you. I loved it. Will definitely be reading the sequel x
Did I get it yesterday? I can't remember...
Lol! Only you can answer that Jud!!! :-)
In hindsight I shouldn't have had caffeine this early in the morning
Thank you so much Emma! I tweeted you late last night as soon as I saw it! I'm so grateful - it was up there on .com without a review until yours appeared! :) So exciting. I think we should tell everyone in Finwip village and have a pudding party!
Lol! I am definitely up for that!! Haven't been on twitter yet this morning but will head there now :-)
Book 1 is still free today. Thank you to everyone who downloaded a copy. It reached #1 in children's action and adventure in the US, and #2 in children's fantasy.#3 and #4 respectively here :)
I really must put up a review Nicola, I am such a procastinator.
Thanks Sarah. I have some to write as well. There just aren't enough hours in the day! That's my excuse, anyway!
Review posted Nicola,It will show under harasrrek!
Thank you Sarah - what a fantastic review! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it:) Makes it all worth while when other people enjoy the world you've created in your mind!
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their support during the last couple of months. My first freebie seems to have been a success, and I now have some lovely reviews.So glad I joined this group! To think, in December, I couldn't even figure out how the Goodreads website worked! What a numpty ;)
It's lovely having your company Nicola.To have the ability to be able to interact with the people who feed our passion for books is a real honour. If anyone had told me a year ago that this would be possible I wouldn't have believed them.The technology I constantly knock certainly has it's good points and I think this group is the best!
Happy Easter.
Took the words from my mouth, Sarah!
Aw, thank you. Happy Easter everyone!
I think I'm losing my marbles. In the excitement of Book 1 suddenly being visible in its relevant amazon categories, and getting a couple more reviews, I forgot to say on this thread that Book 2 came out over a week ago!
Here it is:Alice Parker and the Mind Magician

I'm currently working on a series of books for children of around 11+. And adults, of course.
Book 1, 'Alice Parker's Metamorphosis' is being edited, due for re-release early in March. But I thought I'd tell you it has a 'proper' cover now, which you can see on my FB page. Posh, eh?
Book 2 of Alice Parker's Adventures will be ready to download early in April.
If any of you have already read Book 1, can I gently nudge you to do a review? Or poke you in the ribs if that doesn't work. You can always read it again when the 2nd edition is done - it's longer, btw, so more for your 89p.
Here's the blurb:
'Thirteen-year-old Alice Parker knows something isn't right; mysterious aches and pains, a craving for sugar that's out of control. Suddenly she's top of the class in every subject.
Baffled by what is happening to her and feeling at odds with the world, Alice can't take much more. Only when she collapses and experiences a life-changing transformation does she discover why she is different.
But this new, incredible identity brings its own challenges and Alice isn't convinced she can rise to them. She just wants to be normal!
The fact is she's anything but...'
I'm yet to figure out how to ask people to be my friend on Goodreads! (Blonde moment turning into several weeks, sorry) I can accept if someone asks me, though... hint, hint ;)
