A New Year gift for my Song Quest fans... until January 4th, you can download the Kindle edition of DARK QUETZAL (Book 3 of the Echorium Sequence ) completely free of charge from Amazon. Yes, I know it's traditional to give away the first book in a series, and Dark Quetzal is the third book in my series about the blue-haired Singers who live on the Isle of Echoes and control their world with the power of Song, but the unicorn would like to reward people who have read Books 1 and 2 and might want to complete the trilogy, and I'm not about to argue with a mythical beast waving his sharp horn.

Also, if you're very quick , UK readers might still be able to download the first two Echorium titles Song Quest and Crystal Mask at the old 2014 prices, before the new 20% VAT rate on all ebooks purchase...

I am in the middle of writing a new book, but at the moment do not know when or how this will be published. All I can tell you at the moment is that it's YA romance and contains sexy angels, so will probably come out under a different name to avoid confusion with my other books... but I haven't decided yet whether I'll tell you what that name is, or let you guess!
