It sucks to be the Chosen One… I like tropes. They are a wonderful shorthand that tells us immediately what’s going on. Take the fantasy sub-genre sword & sorcery, for example. You …

What a wonderful way to enjoy Day 7 of Visions of Zarua’s blog tour, with a fantastic review.
Every fantasy lover should be reading this book! Paddren, Varnia, and Leyoch have been friends since childhood. Paddren has been training to be a wizard under the tutelage of Kalesh. Varnia is the huntmistress for Baron Harkai, having been trained by Reaun, who took her in after her parents’ death. Leyoch is an assistant to Paddren and Kalesh, and madly in love with Varnia. But the day the Nagra appears will change everything….
Suddenly Kalesh is dead and Paddren is appointed to replace him as the Baron’s wizard. Reaun loses an arm in the battle with the Nagra and Varnia must take over all his duties. And Leyoch embarks on the secret mission that Kalesh had been preparing him for.

Other news;
I’ve just made a small adjustment to the ebook price – $3.99 & £2.99 on Amazon (others to follow).
I’ve just filed my first ever tax return as a self employed author.
Yesterday I received my first ever royalty payment from Amazon.
I’m so happy to say that the blog tour for Visions of Zarua has begun. It’s been weeks in the planning with many highs and lows along the way. The highs have been speaking with so many fantastic bloggers, while the lows have centred around my lack of computer skills and inability to get the files to do what I want them to.
Here’s a taste of the picture quotes I’ve put together;
Thanks to Cathy for kicking off the tour. See her post here.
And thanks to Wendell for setting up my first ever Rafflecopter giveaway here.

And now for my other news – Visions of Zarua has been shortlisted in a novel writing competition!!! I got the news this morning and I’m so happy. It will be a nervous wait to see who the final winners are later this year.
I’ve also entered Visions into the SPFBO – Self Published Fantasy Blog off competition organised by the wonderful Mark Lawrence. It’s in it’s second year and received 300 entries. That’s 300 other fantasy authors I’m up against, though we are split into groups of 30 in the beginning. Each book reviewer must go through their 30 and choose 3 to put through to the next round. I’m trying not to obsessively check the status of my group, and at least this blog tour will take my mind off things for a while. Here’s to a great blog tour…
CHEERS!
I can’t believe there is only a week to go before my first ever blog tour. A big thanks to all the bloggers who have agreed to host me. Please check in and join us along the way, and don’t forget to share. Thank you!
