I, too, like to see that a young author can create a fascinating fantasy world and be recognized for his talent. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-13283792612640562852016-06-16T12:26:11.169-05:002016-06-16T12:26:11.169-05:00I read the blurb and then the news article you lin...I read the blurb and then the news article you linked to about this author, and I'm psyched to read this when it releases. I love that a young author is getting a chance to shine. I liked his quote about not "aping Tolkien" as so many others do in fantasy. I love LOTR but love originality.

When I was posting the link to Amazon, I noticed that there was no image, so maybe a more appealing cover will follow. And there you go--the importance of a good cover makes a huge difference! jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-12348276946938184752016-06-16T00:50:36.802-05:002016-06-16T00:50:36.802-05:00This definitely sounds like a winner but truth be ...This definitely sounds like a winner but truth be told, that cover didn't catch my attention at first glance. ;-p Still, I'm glad I read your post so I know what kind of a story this is and will check it out when it is released.

I believe there will be more of Ashes and Candlestick Jack to come, but there is no cliffhanger, just the feeling that these characters have more adventures ahead. :) jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-62854726426658323142016-06-13T19:15:23.476-05:002016-06-13T19:15:23.476-05:00I'm so glad you liked this one, Jenclair!
