AMAZING AMAZON!

A man picking lotus near Angkor Wat

The world seems to be turning suddenly very fast for me at the moment. First the launch of Thrill Seekers after waiting so long and now this! My Cambodian novel under the title “When it Rains”has made the quarter finals of the Amazon/Penguin USA breakthrough novel awards. It feels like a miracle. 

Here’s what the Amazon reviewer had to say about the excerpt,

“My overall opinion of this excerpt is that I can’t wait to read the rest. It is sad and revealing yet true and important. Apparently from reading the pitch, the author experienced this trip to Cambodia and has put together this fine piece of fiction so that through this story others may read and get an understanding of life in this country. It is very, very good writing. ”

That makes my day!

Thrill Seekers on new release table

 My friend just found Thrill Seekers on  the new release table at Love That Book in Helensvale.  Thank you to the lovely Benette.How exciting to see it there among the big names. It seems to be getting a life of its own. One of my favourite quotes at the moment is from author and blogger on writing, CJ Lyons who says, ” Once you get your books out there, they’re going to keep going and going and going as more readers find them.” Keep going Thrill Seekers!
