Review by Mad Moose Mama

My virtual book tour made a stop at the blog of Mad Moose Mama today. (http://madmoosemama.blogspot.com/2011/09/lucas-trent-guardian-in-magic-by.html) This actually was the first review of the tour, which makes this all the more exciting for me, thanks at this point to Mama for reading “Guardian in Magic” and providing feedback in that way.

I would like to use the opportunity to comment on one point that Mad Moose Mama brought up: Seeing the story only from the point of Lucas Trent: I thought about this a lot before writing the story, and even more after I finished. Yes, some of the backgrounds would have given a more complete picture of the situation, especially concerning Wolfman and Plague. The point behind staying focused on Lucas Trent was not that the information wouldn’t exist, I did quite intensive documentation of all of that in the background, the point was to show a picture of one person only to give my readers a sort of “first person experience” Why did I do that? Well, have you ever had the feeling watching a movie or reading a book that you would have done things differently? I always have that, and most of the time I would have because I know many angles. The whole concept behind the Lucas Trent storyline is based on the fact that you (the reader) don’t have any information that Lucas Trent doesn’t have as well. (Except for the little sidelines with Archangel.) So you will learn the truth at the same time he does… Having said that… As the storyline develops you will of course get more background information about the others of Lucas’ group, and of course there will be more encounters with the mysterious Plague… And Archangel… And all the others.

Delays all around…

The virtual book tour for “Guardian in Magic” is in full motion already and it seems that I put too much speed into it, leaving some important supporters behind. This unfortunately means that the book video trailer is still not online. But I am confident that it will be shortly. Until then please stay tuned and follow the tour as it unfolds.

The tour is on…

Finally the book tour is starting. My first stop was an interview at “The Writer’s Life” which is online now. Thanks for having me guys!

Up and running again

After a little “communications hickup” between me and my publisher/printer I got somewhat delayed for two months, but finally everything is back on track.

And guess what: I have decided to take “Guardian in Magic” up for a spin in a Virtual Book Tour in September and October. I will of course post more details as soon as they become available.
