REVIEWS


Kylie Griffin
Vengeance Born has been given a great review by Not Your Ordinary Book Banter.  Here's a snippet:
" I was engrossed by the fantasy world Griffin created. She formed a believable war between two races fueled by ignorance and prejudices on both sides. It was an enjoyable read, and in many ways thought provoking---with a happy ending, of course!"


Rowena Cory Daniells
The King's Bastard received a great review from SciYourFi. Here's a snippet:


"This is what fantasy is all about! I was immediately sucked into the world created by Ms. Daniells. I fell in love with the main character, Byren, almost immediately and was rooting for him through the whole book."









COVERS

Annie Seaton
Blind Lust, will be released in the next week by Musa Publishing. Sizzling.





COMPETITIONS

Passionate Ink run two competitions. One for published and one for unpublished....

Stroke of Midnight is the unpublished competition.
C.T Green has finalled in the Paranormal/Time Travel section (again, C.T.?!!) and we would like to give out a shout out to Daniel De Lorne, a fellow RWAustralia member who has also finalled.

That's not all. S.E. Gilchrist has finalled in the Fantasy/Futuristic/Sci Fi section. Well done, S.E!! And also a shout out to Kylie Scott who is also a RWAustralia member.

Think that's all?

No, no, no, no, no.....

In the Passionate Plume competition (for published authors), our Denise Rossetti has been nominated for her book Guilty as Sin, in the Fantasy/Futuristic/SciFi section. This is the third time(!!!) Denise has been nominated (she's actually won the award the previous two times. We wish her a hat trick!!).
