Happy 2020 - tomorrow begins the Year of the Rat, which promises to be an extremely kind year for authors all around, and - being a rat myself - something I intend to take full advantage of!

To this end I have decided to give The Missing Shield a complete and fantastic overhaul to publish the book in the format it was originally intended - including a new amazing cover by concept artist Aleksandra Klepacka, a professional edit by ReVise Editing, as well as a much-needed map!

The book will go on pre-sale mid-March and release mid-April, so here's the deal... I'm looking for ARC readers for this high fantasy epic. I would like to invite all readers of epic fantasy, of course, but I'm particularly keen on readers who may not necessarily read fantasy as their main go-to-genre but who like adventure, epic stories, literary writing and mystery. The story is set in a pseudo-medieval world. Not YA. It has got multiple POVs, as well as storylines that slowly unfold to convene and bring the characters together in joint pursuit of their goals.

If you are interested or would like to know more, please drop me a line/pm/email - also feel free to ask questions. Thanx. :-)
