The Mewsletter #1

Hello, and welcome to the first Mewsletter!

The big news is that my novel, The Fantasy Reader, is out today, both in paperback and ebook (Kindle and ePub) formats. You should be able to order it from your usual supplier of books or ebooks, but if you want a link to click, go to The Fantasy Reader buy page.

I've added a Fantasy Reader mini-site to my webpage, where you can find out more about the book, as well as read the opening chapter. Meanwhile, here's the blurb:

The Fantasy Reader cover

There’s a new, mysterious flight of stairs outside 14-year-old Carol Tanner’s bedroom. It goes up and up and up, into the realms of sheer impossibility — just as stairs in a three-bedroomed semi-detached house on Willow Drive shouldn’t. And it’s not there all the time…

One day, Carol decides to escape up those stairs, leaving her difficult life in this world for just the sort of fantasy land she so loves to read about.

The trouble is, that land is dying. The Princess, who sings the sun to new life each day, has been kidnapped by the evil Necromancer, and all the heroes sent to rescue her have not come back. The days are getting darker. Can Carol, and her doleful young companion, the Dolorous Lord, do something to save this world when so many heroes have failed?

Hope you like it!
