Bravo Victor on all eReaders

If you’ve been waiting for Bravo Victor to come out for an eReader other than Kindle, your wait is OVER!

Bravo Victor is now live on Smashwords.com for all eReader formats, so if you want it for your Nook, or Kobo reader, or for your iPad, or just as a pdf for your phone or PC, you can buy it here.

Victor is trying to find a partner to develop his velocipede, but when a stranger walks into the inn of the Seventh Happiness and tries to sell him Wozna in disguise, Victor tells King Fred, and is sent on a mission to discover who is at the root of the smuggling ring, and find out why George has gone missing, too.

It’s a twisted tale of mischief, misrepresentation and missed opportunities, with the added complication of dealing with a person who really shouldn’t be here.

Get Bravo Victor from Smashwords or Amazon. Suitable for age 12 and upwards.

Traveler ebooks updated

When I put together the paperback edition of The Traveler in Black and White I added a Cast of Characters, updated the picture of Castle Buckmore, and made about six or seven minor editing changes.

I remember changing ‘leave’ to ‘leaving’, adding or subtracting a few commas, replacing Spain with Iberia, since I used Iberia as a better country name in the Mariusz & Rajah short story.  On the whole I’ve tried not to use proper country names in the stories, or place names either, although a good map or atlas will identify where I mean!  For some inexplicable reason the second to last paragraph of the book had half a dozen double full stops in it. . Like that.  I have no idea why, but they are there no longer!

You can update your ecopy of Traveler by synching with your Amazon site (I think – check Kindle help if necessary) or if you got it from Smashwords you can update to the new edition if you go to the book page there and choose ‘download’.

If you are planning to buy it from one of the other online stores, it may take a few weeks to be applied, as the stores do their own checks once a new file is received.  Check the preview feature to ensure it is edition 1.3.  There was no 1.2 in the Smashwords version, but it was too confusing to have the same content in different edition numbers for Kindle and Smashwords.

The Talent Seekers for all eReaders!

The Talent Seekers is now on all eReaders, so those of you who have been waiting patiently to get it for your Nook or Kobo or iPad can now get your ePub file from Smashwords.  It is also in the major online stores, Barnes & Noble, the iBookstore, Kobo, Diesel and now in India at Flipkart.com.

Follow this link to find its nice shiny new page on Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/348829

It also has a nice shiny ISBN 9781301482900

Final_TalentSeekers_01In the fifth book in the Princelings series, we find the young outcast from the Lost City of Arbor travelling west as his mother suggested.  He is rounded up amongst other exiles, but escapes, and finds himself among people that could be his friends, something he has never had before.  But they are under threat, and Humphrey’s adventures twist and turn as he is called to his destiny by an unknown force, one that calls to his special hearing skills.  He meets other talented individuals and learns to be a team, to work with others for the common good.

It’s a tale of greed, of fighting, of cruelty and of a darker place than the ones we’ve met so far in the Princelings world.  Heroes and heroines emerge from the unlikeliest of places to find laughter and friendship and a place where they belong.

The Talent Seekers is a fantasy adventure story with paranormal influences and some pitched battles. It is set in the months between the Prologue and the Epilogue of the Princelings and the Lost City, but with otherwise little connection to the previous stories in the series so can stand alone.  It’s suitable for readers aged 13 and upwards.

“Another intricately woven story in the land of the Princelings. This time we journey with Humphrey. A gentle and trepid soul with a talent for listening to things above and beyond the realms of the everyday… Humphrey is tested beyond anything he has ever known, unsure of who is friend or foe. Using every ounce of knowledge from his books, combined with his unique and special talents, he bands together with his unit. They must prevail against a force so evil, that it threatens the livelihood of the entire land of the Princelings.”  Julie Grasso
