One week today (ie 3rd December), Hero Born will be published in paperback! It was amazing to have Hero Born released as an ebook but, as an author trying to be published over the years, the dream you have is to hold a copy of your book in your hands and so it is wonderful now to see it in paperback also.

Just as the ebook is available from various digital retailers to be suitable for all of the major types of e-readers, the paperback is also on sale from different sites such as Amazon and www.bookdepository.com and it is worth shopping around as you can often find it at cheaper prices on one site or another, and it is usually available with free shipping. Currently, Book Depository is the cheapest source I have found. 
 
One thing to watch out for is that you shouldn't worry if there is a note on the site saying that it is "out of print" or "not currently available". With it being a book from a new author, Voyager are making it available as print-on-demand and there is an anomaly in some of the systems that lists it with these misleading comments. All that it means is that when you order it, your copy will be printed and posted specifically for you… and so you will have a very personal copy!

Book Two has been written! As of last night, the second book in the Seeds of Destiny series, Hero Grown, was completed and has now been sent to Voyager. The release date for the digital version is 16th June, 2016, just in time for Summer holiday reading (shameless hint).

Apologies that there haven't been many updates on the website recently, but I had a fairly short timescale, roughly four months, to complete it from scratch. Consequently, my free time outside work has been consumed by trying to keep to a weekly word-count, leaving few opportunities for anything else. To put it into context, I wrote Hero Born in 18 months, whereas Hero Grown took just 18 weeks. (And, no, that doesn't mean that the next book will be written in 18 days..!) I will now reintroduce myself to my neglected family and start planning the final book in the trilogy.

I will keep you posted as to progress of Hero Grown as each stage occurs.
