Cover Art For Golden

The long wait has finally paid of, the cover for golden is finished and I can’t believe I am allowed to share it with you all straight away!
I really wanted it to portray the beautiful side of being Golden, not the monstrous side. 
I think it has turned out perfect!
And that touch of blood red in the lettering was very clever….

Missing the Good Reads !

While I have some time waiting for my brilliant editor E to send me the 2nd edit of Golden to dust over, I thought I would share some of the list of good books and series I have read over the years. It could prove quite interesting as my choice in books is never driven by fashion or best seller lists, so I hope you enjoy reading about them and maybe you will find something new to read yourself, as we are all always on the look out for good reads!
I am not a reviewer and will not give away any story plots at all, simply put, I like these book and want to share them with you.
 
Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins
 
I was shocked to find out the other day that none of my friends had read “Gregor The Overlander”!
Yet they had all but devoured “The Hunger Games” so why ignore the Authors previous work.
I enjoy books not just for the story, it is the writers style and character that grips you, so every time I stumble upon a really good book, I automatically buy up their entire life’s work. Which yes, you are right – expensive!! But worth it, as I am rarely disappointed in the outcome.
In this case Suzanne Collins was in fact a well established Author before she sat down and invented the marvellous world of Catniss Everdeen she created the magical world close to the earths core that can only be reached by the drainpipe in Gregors laundry room.
Fantastic? 100% !
For Kids? Hell no! Well yes it is written for children, but so is Harry Potter, so people please get of your high horses and pick up this series. It is funny, witty and full of adventure. And did I mention, very funny? Gregors little sister Boots had me laughing out loud at her antics with giant cockroaches and flying talking bats and her need to constantly poop. But don’t get the wrong impression, the underworld is in serious peril and only Gregor and his little sister Boots can save it from being overrun by their enemies. And here comes Suzanne Collins taste for war and strategy to the for front, in a magical world full of adventure.

Author Mrs Anne McCaffrey – The Dragonriders of Pern

Anne McCaffrey – The Dragons of Pern
 These are on a completely different level from anything you are likely to have read before if you are not a Sci-Fi geek.
She started writing in the 50’s , never mind best seller lists and all that, she has won numerous awards and is simply in a league of her own today’s writers can only dream to look up to.
The Dragons of Pern is a long series of books, set in different times on a planet called Pern. I am not going to give anything away, because what makes this series so unforgettable is that with each book, the history of Pern unravels and you get to piece together a society and trace it back to its origins. Its as distopian as it gets. So worth reading, you won’t be able to put them down, but that is ok because there are 44 big thick novels and 11 short stories. I have them all and have read the series twice, not a mean feat and I plan on reading them again and again!
Sadly Anne McCaffrey died a few years ago, so there will be no more, but she made a giant contribution the literary Sci-Fy world  and her son is also an Author and they wrote a few together , so there is still hope!
