If you’re in Jersey, grab a copy of the May issue of Gallery magazine – out on Tuesday 1 May. There’s an interview with me on Page 54 (so I’m told!) all about The Evangeline Devine series, writing, and books in general. I’m going to get a copy and frame it 🙂

Gifted will be unavailable on Amazon from about 11pm tonight (UK time) until tomorrow morning – have to take it down for a quick edit (damn those typos!)……. cos I know that soooo many of you were planning on downloading it in the middle of the night he he

Yay!! I have my first review by a US reviewer – and more importantly,  by someone who doesn’t know me from Adam and therefore has no reason to be nice to me – and it’s actually a pretty nice review on the whole – some criticism, but constructively done and taken on board.

Check it out at the Electronic Ink blog spot here: http://wadingthrougheink.blogspot.com/

Apart from saying nice things about Gifted, it’s a pretty good place to look if you want some recommendations for YA indie novels generally.

A big thank you to Elizabeth for reading and reviewing so quickly and for taking the time  to give a really thorough and helpful review !!

Now I just need several thousand more like that and world domination will be within my grasp arf arf (laughs evilly whilst stroking cat).

For those of you who don’t have a Kindle, don’t worry – all is not lost! You can still download and read “Gifted” (or any other e-book for that matter – but read mine first!) by downloading FREE Kindle e-reader software to your PC here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771

Happy Reading!

From tomorrow, “Gifted” will be temporarily removed from Smashwords for a period of 90 days. This is so I can enrol it in the KDP Select programme on Amazon (you can’t be published anywhere else to join) and participate in a forthcoming blog hop being organised by Breezy Reads. Further details on blog hop to follow in due course – should be really good opportunity for YA lovers to discover exciting new indie writing talents! (and me).

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause; “Gifted” will remain available on Amazon and anyone who has already downloaded “Gifted” from Smashwords will not be affected.

I’ve been investigating uploading “Gifted” to the Kobo store for those of you (like me) who have a Kobo rather than a Kindle. Unfortunately, it is a much more complicated process than uploading for Kindle – lots of stuff about metadata and code that looks like Japanese to me! Sorry to say it is way beyond my limited technical capabilities.

However, Kobo are in the process of launching a direct publishing portal which should be much easier to use so will just have to wait for that to be up and running.

Apologies in the meantime.

Gifted is now available to review on Goodreads. As always, all reviews – good or bad – gratefully received and much appreciated (though of course we like the good ones more!)

As of today, “Gifted” is now also available on Smashwords for download.

The amended version of “Gifted” has now been uploaded on Amazon. I’ve only just done it so it might take about 12-24 hours to show, but then it will be there – hopefully with all typos gone!!

The original version will still be available on Amazon in the meantime.

Hi

Thanks to all of you who have downloaded “Gifted” from Amazon so far. I’d be really really grateful if once you’ve finished reading it, you’d could spare a couple of minutes to leave a review on Amazon – an honest one of course! Good or bad, the number of reviews the book receives increases its profile on Amazon so all comments are much appreciated!

Thanks

Annalise
