I am officially halfway through Malazan Book Of Th

I am officially halfway through Malazan Book Of The Fallen*

*okay, so the last five books are bigger than the first five, so 'technically' I'm like 45% or something, but we'll just skip past*

So, what are my spoiler-free thoughts at this halfway point?

For the most part, I'm enjoying it. Some books I've enjoyed more than others, though all of them have had something, usually the characters and magic, in them that has kept me engaged.

Also, each book usually starts off being a little tough to get into, before picking up by the second half, and finally leaving me looking forward to the next by that last page.

If I had to rank them, starting with my favourite, I would currently say Gardens of the Moon, Midnight Tides, Memories Of Ice, Deadhouse Gates, and House of Chains being my least favourite.

Overall, the series so far has been massive in length, the scale of world-building, characters, and story, and when reading it, you have to be okay with letting yourself not 'getting' everything straight away and trying to enjoy the journey. Which is sometimes easier said than done.

Have you read Malazan? If so, how many and what did you think? Or are you thinking of picking it up in the future?

Getting books into reader's hands is a fantastic thing, so this week I'm happy to be able to give not only Neon Helix (my debut novel) but also Neon Cortex (the sequel novella) eBooks away for free on Amazon!

The books are fast-paced, science-fiction thrillers with multiple characters from all walks of life. So, if you're interested, now is the perfect time to grab them.

Links are in the bio - just pick Neon Helix Universe for your country, and you'll see them there 👍🏻

Happy Reading!

A fantastic and in-depth review for Neon Helix cam

A fantastic and in-depth review for Neon Helix came through the other day, and it's absolutely amazing. (thank you @annamocikat)

Hearing how readers interpret my books is always fascinating, as well as finding out who their favourite characters are!

Also, getting reviews is the lifeblood of authors, so it's such a thrill when they come through!!

What makes you pick a book? Reviews? Cover art? Synopsis? Recommendations?

You can check out Neon Helix on Amazon & Audible 📚

Charity shop book haul!

I was very pleased to have grabbed these near-perfect condition Cosmere books at a local charity shop yesterday. (@oxfambooksbeeston)

While I won't be starting my full Cosmere reading til at least next year, it's good to get the collection started early.

Charity shops can be a gold mine for getting great condition books, and you get to support a good cause at the same time 🙌🏻

What's your best charity shop find?

Sending a little love for The Omega Drive today.

Sending a little love for The Omega Drive today.

As my second novel, The Omega Drive is my homage to the space opera and TV shows that I loved watching in the past, such as Firefly, Farscape, and Star Trek. But, as it is currently the only book in the series, I seem to spend more time talking about Neon Helix and its sequels.

The Omega Drive is perfect if you are looking for some easy-to-read adventure as you follow the ragtag crew of the StarQuake and their potentially galaxy saving quest.

The crew in this book are possibly my personal favourite characters I've developed so far, and I hope you'll join them!

I can't wait to get back to this series, which is the plan once I finish writing my current fantasy book.

If you want to check it out, there's a link in my Bio ☺️

What's your favourite reading medium? Do you prefer eBooks, physical books or audiobooks?

I personally enjoy all three, and usually have one of each on the go at any one time (aswell as a graphic novel too). Which is why I was so happy to get my first novel released on audiobook, meaning my first novel Neon Helix is available in all formats and hoping to get some more done soon. (Links in Bio 😉)

What are you reading / listening to at the moment?
