Indie Author Love - Awaken, by G.R. Thomas

Awaken is a fast-paced journey that never pulls its punches. It is a really cool take on mythology, as well as biblical themes such as angels and demons. The main character, Sophia, is by no means a weakling and takes some pretty heavy stuff in her stride. I love books with such strong female characters like this! This book will take you on a wild ride and you will not be able to put this book down. I am hanging out to get my hands on Book 2 of this series, Surrender.

See below for the book's full synopsis.



Here I am, proudly holding my copy!


Blurb:

SOME PEOPLE AREN'T DESTINED TO BE ORDINARY.
With a special gift held close to her heart, it was always going to be hard for Sophia Woodville to live an ordinary life.
As a 20 year old nursing grad, she thought she had her future all sorted.
However, destiny was about to intervene.
Her secret was not so secret. The gift she possessed was just a hint of something far beyond her wildest imagination.
Sophia will be pulled, kicking and screaming, into an unseen, ancient world that challenges all that she thought to be true of herself, her family and the origins of humanity.
Original sin, forbidden love and her life in constant danger.
Will Sophia survive this dark twist of fate?
Will the devil be her saviour?
Will an Angel be her downfall?

Fyrebyrne Island at Supanova Melbourne

Fyrebyrne Island has had a chance to make its way through the world now. Talented author and all-round good guy, Dean Mayes, was kind enough to do an amazing write-up for it on his website.

I will be selling copies of Fyrebyrne Island in Artist Ally at Supanova in Melbourne on April 29th and 30th at the Melbourne Showgrounds. Make sure you come along and say hello. There will be a questionnaire available for you to discover what type of dragon you are, and I will have some cool merch to sell, too.
