I have just finished reading this book and I’m itching for more. Any hints as to when book 2 will be with us?

Hi, I’ve just finished reading your debut novel and have to say that I am now a fan! I am a budding fantasy writer myself and have taken a year out of teaching to try and finish it as otherwise I think it will be a decade in the making! I really can’t wait to read the second instalment. I’ve shared your details on Facebook through the Orbit Facebook page. I wish you all the best. Angela Sefton. x

Thanks Angela. Good luck with it all and remember it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Thank you. I hope that if I manage to become published others will enjoy the story I’m weaving as much as I enjoyed your (or should I say Vaelin’s?) story. I read it in two days which is no mean feat when you have a very inquisitive five year old daughter! I shall crack on with my writing whilst I await your second novel. x

Hi. Great book, just wondering if you know if its gone to a second printing in the UK? I for the kindle version and would love to have the Hardback now as well but don’t want a second printing, I’m awkward like that.

The UK hardcover was reprinted two weeks ago so finding a first edition is likely to be tricky.
Glad you liked the book.
