INTERNATIONAL RUBERY BOOK AWARD

THE QUETZAL SKULL was longlisted for the International Rubery Book Award 2011

2011 Amazon break through novel

Have just learnt that Quetzal has reached the quarter finals of the 2011 Amazon break through novel. I believe the rest of the judging will be based on peer group voting. The results of the next phase will be published on April 26th.

The quetzal has arrived.

The Quetzal Skull is now published and already featured on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. Pearl Luke suggests I join her Book Buddy group to increase Quetzal's visibility. This may be a good idea since clearly Canadian readers would find it easier to purchase over there.This appears to be an online book club for serious readers and I gather you have to be prepared to offer two free books on a regular basis to readers.

This was an over confident statement. Sometime in 2011 might be better. Still it pays to be optimistic. The Quetzal Skull MUST be published in 2011 for the prophecy was that its rightful burial place should be found before the fateful year 2012

The Quetzal Skull

This sequel to Narwhal is now ready for publication and should be out late January 2011. Watch this space.

Forward press anthology

"We are One" has been accepted in the latest Forward press anthology, out late December.
