Thanks Caroline.

I normally find fiction written by men with female leads very tiresome as well, which is why I didn’t try it for a long, long time. A couple of my first readers challenged me to fold it into this NaNoWriMo challenge, and I’m glad I did. I really like Tanyth and can’t wait to find out what she gets up to next.

Welcome to my worlds, Caroline, and I hope you continue to find good things to read here.

My mother, would you believe, recommended this to me. I thought I’d give it a go and I was very impressed.

I normally find fiction written by men with female leads very tiresome, but this was excellent, and the narration spot on. Loved it so much I then subscribed to the Solar Clipper podcasts (not a normal genre for me) and find them equally gripping.

Thanks for making such wonderful worlds.

Darn it Nathan! Now I don’t know if I’d rather be sailing the skies in a futuristic clipper ship, or living contented in Ravenwood working the clay quarry. Both these worlds are vivid and enticing.

Great story, I too tried very hard to limit my consumption but ended up racing through the whole story in a weekend.

I just finished the Ravenwood book which I downloaded from itunes/podiobooks and I wanted to say that I was so very pleased with your wonderful tale. You have captured perfectly the concept of the crone and brought her to life so vividly that I have trouble believing that you were socialized as a man! All of your characters are rich and well developed. I also very much enjoyed the descriptions of the simple everyday tasks such as baking bread, chopping wood and watching over the children. I, of course, was constantly reaching for my teapot throughout the listening! Thank you so much for sharing this book with us!

It’ll be coming out from Ridan. There’s so much interest in it, we’re thinking of moving it up in the production queue.

I’m looking forward to it, too. I can’t tell you how much fun I had with this book.

I listened avidly to Ravenwood and was wondering if there was somewhere I could purchase it in a tangible ‘book’ form?
You would be brilliant if ever you had to do a blessing for anything! The world of Tanyth is wonderful and I look forward to more adventures – I wonder if she will make it to Gertie Pinecrest or not…! Thank you so much for sharing your vision for free, it is a wonderful gift! I’m excited for the return to Ravenwood, whenever it is!

Thanks, Scott. There will, indeed, be more Tanyth. I’m looking forward to getting back into her world.

Nathan: Just finished Ravanwood yesterday on the treadmill. Gotta say I’m loving the setting/world you are building for your fantasy outlet. Like your Share series (with Ish) I found that I was sucked in and began relating to the characters fairly quickly… and couldn’t stop listening. Thanks for sharing your fantasy excursion with us… hope you take us on more Tanyth adventures… and looking forward to your next releases (especially Owner’s Share and the wrap of the official Share series)!
