Selected with my new Apple Magic Trackpad (donated to me this morning by a very kindly old man with a long white beard and red velvet suit): Happy Christmas, everyone.j

Following last week's announcement that my new book, 'Larussi's Heartsong', had gone on sale on the Kindle. I am delighted to confirm that it is now available in all electronic formats, and in paperback.

Kindle availability remains as it was. The paperback edition is also through Amazon. Owners of iPads, Kobos, Nooks, Desktop PCs, Android tablets etc. etc. can now download Larussi directly from www.smashwords.com or from their respective libraries, such as iBooks.

'Larussi's Heartsong' is the appendix to my 'Queen's Heart' trilogy, and my seventh 'Avalind' book, but it is not necessary to have read the previous six to be able to appreciate it. It is a complete story in its own right, although its roots are to be found in 'A Queen's Heart'. Anyone who has not read the previous books will find all they need to know in an author's note at the beginning and a brief synopsis of the trilogy at the end. Anyone who has read the others should find themselves immediately at home in the world of the Kingdom, Draal, Dragotar and Krimmin.

Its classification as an 'Avalind' book, technically places it in the Fantasy genre, although it is the least fantastical of them all. 'Larussi's Heartsong' is, at its core, a human story - a love story. It is also one of my books, however, so action fans can be assured that there is plenty of excitement to keep them happy. It has just notched up its first sales.

Details of how to obtain your copy can be found in its entry on the 'A Queen's Heart' pages of this website.

The Kindle edition of 'Larussi's Heartsong' is now on sale at all of Amazon's Kindle stores. The paperback edition is undergoing review at present and will go on sale tomorrow. Other editions will follow over the next few days.
