Sharon
A professional engineer by training, Sharon is currently a quality, environment and sustainability manager in a large, global engineering consultancy firm. Therefore, writing a novel may seem an unlikely fit. However, Sharon’s upbringing involved moving to Belgium when she was 12 and completing all of her secondary schooling in Flemish, with French and German also… Continue reading About

It’s been three months since I started advertising on Amazon. I recently passed one million impressions and I’ve sold 24 books. So that’s roughly one sale for every 40,000 impressions. Still costing me ten times more than I’m making. Actually, I’m not making anything, as Amazon won’t pay me out until I make $100 in… Continue reading A million impressions
Hi everyone. The next best thing you can do after reading my book is to post a review about it. If you can post one on Amazon, that would be the best (because that’s where I’m advertising), but Amazon does have some pretty clever algorithms that will exclude reviews from people that it decides have… Continue reading Reviews please!
Over Queen’s birthday weekend (first weekend in June), I attended Geysercon: the national conference for fantasy fans and authors. It was two-and-a-half days of really interesting presentations, panel discussions–mostly for authors, but stuff for the fans, too: discussions on what’s trending in High Fantasy, tropes, Star Wars vs Star Trek, how to write fight scenes,… Continue reading Reflecting on Geysercon
Well, almost half a million impressions, actually. I’ve been experimenting with Amazon advertising (AMS), figuring out how to target my audience through selecting the right combinations of key words, along with the right wording on my ads and the right bids. There are quite a few metrics and trends to monitor and tweak, but the… Continue reading I’m making an impression!
Thank you to all of you who pre-ordered Tyrelia – I just noticed today that I had a #1 badge WHOOP WHOOP! I’ve started posting out the paperbacks and I know some of you have already read it 🙂 Don’t forget to post feedback on Amazon! Thanks. Click here to order Tyrelia.
Freya continues to develop as a hero. In this instalment, she finds herself cut off from her family, her friends and mentors. She is in a strange land – the fabled Tyrelia that no one knows anything about because the wall has blocked everyone for so many years.
At the same time her family is fighting their own battle. Freya’s parents are panicked when contact with her is lost, and Jack is becoming increasingly seduced by what the Golden City promises.
An excellent second novel, which does a great job of continuing the world building, and developing well rounded characters.
5 STARS
Loved the development of the character Freya and the new character Willow. Like in Medar the descriptions of places transports you right there. Rube’s adventures in the Golden City help to explain events but not giving anything away. Couldn’t put the book down read it in a day!
This is a great second book and looking forward to the next one. – Tracey Sherer
