Author A. J. Braithwaite wrote a review of The Demon Queen and The Locksmith.

“a fun read…the writing is fluid and clear…ideal for its young adult target market.”

Read the whole review on her blog.

Demon Queen on Podiobooks has 560 downloads in 1.5 days. That’s twice the number One Fall got on its opening, and One Fall is now closing in on 20,000 downloads. This bodes well!

Demon Queen has now completely overshadowed One Fall in terms of download count on Smashwords.  Demon Queen also is selling regularly on Amazon for Kindle.

But the audio recording of One Fall still remains the most widely accessed of all my works out there.

Unabridged Demon Queen audio is in the works.  Probably will come out some time in the fall.

Interesting convergence today.  Both One Fall and Demon Queen are at 200 downloads on Smashwords.

One Fall took well over a month to get there.  Demon Queen took only a few days.

The 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award has just made another round of cuts.  The contest started with 10,000 novels, which were cut to 1,000 and then 500 by Amazon Vine Program participants.  The 500 were just cut to 100 by Publishers Weekly.  Of those 100, fifty are young adult novels, and Demon Queen is one of them!

Editors at Penguin are now reading the top 100 manuscripts and at the end of May, they will cut them down to six finalists.

As part of this process, I got a review from Publishers Weekly.  Here’s an excerpt:

Characters and plot propel readers through this exciting story. Kevin, Jackie and Joseph are all convincing teens with real contributions to the manuscript…Skillfully written, this novel will captivate teens, including reluctant readers.
