What are some worthwhile fantasy novels? I recently posted my thoughts on a number of good fantasy novels and organised them by their features to help you find one you will enjoy. Click here to see the reviews.

Rebecca Wylie, my continuity editor, now has a website at sagewrittenword.webs.com. Rebecca is a friend I made when I attended a seminar at the Queensland Writers’ Centre and she has since enjoyed reading Talon and helping me out with some of the problems I have introduced during its many rewrites. There is such a thing as too much editing!

Speaking of editing, I do believe every writer needs to get their work edited before submitting to publishers. Even if you consider yourself an editor, as I do, a writer becomes blind to their own mistakes.

If you are looking for an editor, I offer this service as part of my Queensland-based freelance editing and design business Greenslade Creations.

About Talon, book one of The Astor Chronicles

coverTalon is a nineteen-year-old Kriite man about to discover his place in the world. Even after meeting a ferocious icetiger claiming to be his new bond partner, Talon doesn’t know how rapidly his life is about to change. The enemy is moving and Talon is a part of their devious scheme to kill or enslave all Kriites.

An unlikely hero with his remaining family members scattered, Talon is sent to seek assistance for his people from an old ally. But when he finds out that ally is now in cohorts with the enemy, his journey takes a new turn and his destiny becomes bigger than he ever could have imagined.

Along with his guide, the formiddable red-haired warrior with her firetiger, Talon travels to Tanza, land of the skyearls. Though they are true-hearted and strong, the Tanzans have problems of their own and soon it will be up to Talon to fight in an epic battle with abilities he has barely begun to understand.
