On nice surprises…

When I released When the Children Come, I thought many Eden Paradox readers would buy it, and maybe they have, but  what I’m noticing is an uptick in US sales of the omnibus version (great to see!), perhaps also inspired by the latest Amazon UK review by Susan Yea: “This author should win the HUGO award for producing the best science fiction I have read in the last thirty years.” As you might imagine, that review made my week! …

Off to a good start!

When the children come launched digitally on 8th January 2021, and by 12th Jan it had edged into the top 1000 books on Amazon US, and had a great first week, in Canada too. The Blog Tour led to some brilliant reviews, followed by more 4* / 5* reviews. Lara is the surprise hit character, though of course people want more of Sally. I’ve noticed that people are already searching Amazon for the sequel, so I had better keep cracking on with it. …

Ebook version of When the Children Come launched!

The electronic (kindle) version of When the Children Come was launched yesterday, and immediately shot into the top 50 ‘Alien Invasion’ category on Amazon.co.uk, which is great because the marketing doesn’t kick in until tomorrow (Sunday). The Blog Tour also started with some great reviews:

“When the Children Come is unique and creative scifi that I didn’t want to put down!”

“The world the author has created is scary, blood-fuelled and addictive!”

Also “echoes of Stephen King”, and “…characters who are incredibly appealing”

Nathan, Lara and Sally are off to a good start!…
