ARTs – An Author’s Frontline

I’m hoping to do my best Henry V imitation and exhort many of you to join my Advance Reading Team (ART) immediately.

A quick Thank You here to my current dream team. You know who you are so I won't embarrass you by naming names.

What exactly is an ART?

An Advance Reading Team is an indie author’s first line of both attack and defense. The war terminology is out in full force now. What I mean by this is that they spot glaring errors and help us authors gain support and enthusiasm which is so crucial when launching a book.

What do you get out of it?

As a member of my ART you would get:

A FREE advance e-copy of any upcoming books
The opportunity to name a character in my next book
Your name listed in the front matter if you have provided feedback in the review period

What do I get out of it?

In return, at the time of the book’s official release, I’ll ask you for an honest review either on Amazon, Goodreads or both. This is because reviews can be the difference between an author succeeding or failing. They are critical for several reasons:

They give other readers the chance to discover new authors of genres they enjoy
They allow authors to qualify for advertising and promotional opportunities
And they boost a book’s online visibility by moving it up in rankings lists

- What you need to know before you sign up

1. You need an Amazon account in order to post reviews. You can set one up here for free.

2. Or a Goodreads account. You can set one up here for free.

3. You must be signed up to my author newsletter as this is an exclusive opportunity for my newsletter subscribers and faithful supporters.

4. Advance Review Copies (ARCs) are sent out to members of the ART about 3 weeks before the scheduled release

5. Your privacy is as important as mine is to me! So I will never share your data with third parties. For more on this please read my privacy policy.

6. You are in no way obligated to read and review every book you receive

Thank you for your continued support of my writing. Wishing you countless happy hours of reading!

Faetaera: A Triumvirate

A Triumvirate Brairton’s minions slipped through a barely noticeable fissure. The tear would close shortly. Despite the increase in their regularity the breaches rarely stayed open very long. To the three insidious spies, the stink of the new world was almost unbearable. But in time the triumvirate would each become so used to it they would scarcely notice it at all. That it poisoned them they did not know. Brairton was not in the habit of informing his operatives of fatal consequences. Their programming precluded any thought beyond the mission they must complete. In this Brairton had been exact and had performed the necessary rituals himself. Each had their mission branded into their being. They would travel together for some time but then slip off to their secret destinations one by one, never to see each other again. The threesome latched on to their individual targets and began their particular brand of individual mis...

#Review: A Storm of Swords II

A Storm of Swords II by George R R Martin After starting on the set in September last year, I’m getting through the Game of Thrones series at quite a clip now. This is no doubt due to their intriguing nature and Martin’s writing style which makes reading this collection of books so easy. So far, my favourite character in every one of the books in this series is Tyrion Lannister. I find myself rooting for him at every step on his life journey. He works so hard to be a better man despite people’s preconceptions. When he was made The Hand in the previous book I was not at all surprised that he did a good job of it. Tyrion reminds me of some of the talented yet underrated children I’ve taught in the past. Once they were given a task which excited and involved them they relished the challenge and surpassed all expectations. Unlike my students though, Tyrion receives no praise for his efforts and achievements. Perhaps I like him so much because he almost always has his now...

Faetaera: Through The Rabbit Hole

Larell’s heart was full to the brim. His audience with Aurelia had been unexpected and full of wonder. He was not surprised she was aware of his plans to send a force through to the other side. Aurelia always knew everything going on in her world. At times he thought he saw the weight of it bearing down upon her. Then he wished to take her in his arms and carry her as well as the burdens she bore. But of course he would never do this, merely imagine it. It made him love her all the more. She thought he did not know how she came by her information and he planned on keeping it that way. It was the only way he knew to express his love for her without feeling foolish. In the crystal lined chamber he felt her load more palpably than usual. He knew it was simply his foolish love-sickness for his Queen but he let the feeling soak through him regardless. Aurelia's lips twitched briefly as though she was...
