Today I'm pleased to welcome Sarah Armstrong-Garner to the blog. She's currently on tour with Sinking, the first in a new mermaid-themed YA fantasy trilogy. So let me hand you straight over to Sarah to tell you a bit about the research that went into the novel ...

Welcome to Barren Island Books, the author interview series that’s in no way related to a popular music-based radio programme. You know the rules by now: my guests are exiled to a remote island with only five books for company, selected from the categories I give them. It’s up to them to make sure they choose wisely, because they’re going to be stuck with those books for a long, long time …
My interviewee this week is Dan Koboldt, author of action-packed sci-fi fantasy novel The Rogue Retrieval – out now from Harper Voyager Impulse. When he’s not being banished to a desert island, Dan can be found at dankoboldt.com. Today I'm very pleased to present an excerpt from Without Light or Guide, the second Los Nefilim novella by T. Frohock. You can read what I and many others said about the first one, In Midnight's Silence, here. I thoroughly recommend these books, so without further ado, here's the author to introduce her excerpt.
Today marks the release of Bishop O'Connell's latest American Faerie Tale book, Three Promises. I really enjoyed both The Stolen and The Forgotten, so I'm looking forward to reading this one too! Read on for an excerpt from the book, introduced by Bishop himself ...

My interviewee this week is Michelle Hauck, author of epic fantasy novel Grudging – out this week from Harper Voyager Impulse. When she’s not being banished to a desert island, Michelle can be found at www.michelle4laughs.com. As part of her book launch, Michelle has put together a brilliant prize package of SFF novels – so stay tuned for the giveaway at the end of the interview! Today I'm sharing an excerpt from Beth Cato's new novella Wings of Sorrow and Bone. I can't wait to read this new Clockwork Dagger story!
This is part of a review series in which I take a look at some of the other books that were picked up by Harper Voyager at the same time as mine. For all the usual disclaimers, refer back to the first episode in the series :-)

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. Welcome to Barren Island – wait, no. Today I'm trying my hand at a different kind of interview, so bear with me.
