As part of her book launch, Aurora is giving away multiple prizes, including a copy of my very own Darkhaven – so stay tuned for the links at the end of the interview!

As long-time readers of my blog will know, my novel Darkhaven was picked up in an open door period held by Harper Voyager to find books for their new digital first programme. The UK branch acquired 15 novels altogether, the last of which was released earlier this month, so now seems like the perfect time to take a look at some of my fellow authors’ books.
Full disclosure: though I’ve never met any of my digital colleagues, I have connected with most of them online. It’s probably fair to say that I’m unlikely to rip their books apart, and that I’ll focus on the positives. Having said that, I am going to be honest, else there’d be no point writing these reviews at all. So I guess what I’m saying is that what you’re about to read is as reliable, or unreliable, as any other review you’ll come across :-) I’ll be reviewing the books in order of publication, because it’s as good an order as any, so first up: Detective Strongoak and the Case of the Dead Elf by Terry Newman. |
