Cat's Confidence, Available for Pre-order Now

It's finally ready!

Thank you to everyone who has been so patient, Cat's Confidence is finished and in the pipeline of being published. The official release date is Tuesday October 1st 2013, however, it is available for pre-order.

The very nice people at Smashwords now ship to Apple, B&N and Kobo for pre-orders so we have decided to take advantage of this option. While on pre-order and for one week post the release date, Cat's Condidence will be available for ~10% off at $2.99 (or equiv - regular price $3.29).

Cat's Confidence pre-order options:
Barnes and Noble
Kobo
Apple (coming very soon - it's been submitted, but it sometimes takes them a while).

For those who use other services like Amazon, we're very sorry, there is no pre-order option, but the price will remain at $2.99 for one week after the launch date. So buy early and you will get your ~10% off.

Description:

The Seer says that a Questor is always prepared for the Task for which they are chosen and Charlie has been a Questor long enough to know the Seer is always right. Still, it never occurred to him that being ready would mean specific training for a specific Task. Charlie, Kaelyn and Alexander are given six weeks to become a Dragon Warrior team: all they need to do is master magical telepathy, archery, flying and, the trickiest of all, how to put on a dragon-harness in under five minutes!

Once through the portal in the land of Snijela, they must pass as veterans, make friends with other dragons and figure out why they've actually been sent on their Task in the first place. Add in a volatile young queen, two feuding nations either on the verge of peace or all out war, as well as spies, sexism and an alarming acceleration in Charlie's premonitions, and nothing is ever going to be straightforward.

We-e-ll. I've pre-ordered, via Kobo in order to get a pdf. version, but once I'd paid the option no longer appeared so I may or may not be able to read it when it arrives. When buying from Smashwords I usually buy pdf. then convert for Kindle... If I've just wasted £1.87 so be it and the end of the world is not nigh, but I do actually want to read the story so my fingers will remain crossed till Tuesday!!

If you have trouble with it, LMK and I will send you the format you need. *hugs*

Thanks! I'm enjoying the series on two levels - as stories, and as YA because I'm writing some YA myself and it's good to see how other people approach it. Will get back to you if necessary!

[beren_writes]

I'm glad you're enjoying the series, I am having a lot of fun with it. My fav part is because I set it with a multi-universe option I can write it with any twist I like, this one's a touch of high fantasy thanks to dragons :). Good luck with your own YA.

It's possible that mine might be deemed New Adult now (a new term meaning YA with slightly older characters, but I'm not sure because I can't quite work out the exact definition ;)).

All is well - it's EPub (why don't they tell you instead of being all coy and saying 'for your Kobo'?) so Calibre will convert it for me. Sorry to have had a panic! *hugs back*

[beren_writes]

Glad all is okay. If you have any issues with the conversion just drop me a line. I know that sometimes, Calibre converts to mobi and shoves the first line indent way over to the other side of the page.

It was fine. I have just finished reading it on my Kindle and there were no conversion problems.

Another nice story! I think maybe for adults now that the novelty has worn off the series won't be quite as gripping, but as a YA title it ought to do really well - it has everything: fantasy, learning to be independent, friendship, romance, and slight thriller elements. Congratulations on a great concept, which you should be able to keep going for quite some time!!
