Indie Book Club discussion

I’m proud to announce the launch of the final book of the “Fuel to the Fire” trilogy.

The prophecy naming Davran Fuel to the Fire seems to be coming true, as her previous actions have only served to make matters worse. The trend continues as Davran faces an unexpectedly tenacious enemy – an enemy that has been biding her time – an enemy that truly is the stuff of nightmares.

And here’s the link to Amazon: http://authl.it/B00IW62CFK



To coincide with this launch, the first book of the trilogy is free on Amazon dotcom and UK for as long as Amazon will allow it to be.
You can find it on Amazon here: http://authl.it/B00AGJR4VI,
and on smashwords here: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

And what do I expect for this act of generosity? Nothing, other than you download the book, possibly read it, hopefully enjoy it. If all three occur and you'd like to give a review that would be brilliant, recommending to others would be even better.

On the off chance that you need any more tempting, here's the first review to come in for the closing book of the trilogy:

We first met Davran in Fuel to the Fire, the first of this trilogy. As with all trilogies, you really need to have read the first two books to know who the characters are and what their relationship is to each other. This book is the archetypal battle between good and evil and there remains the possibility that many, even most, will die. This book is a gift for lovers of the dragon! They exist in number and variety and play a significant role.

David Staniforth has a gift for description and I’ve enjoyed this aspect of all his fantasy works. He is also skilled in writing the sort of villain you love to hate. You will find both in here and a plot which will leave you on tenterhooks to the very end. Excellent stuff!

And the first book is free, while stocks last ;~)

Here's the most recent review of Fuel to the Fire, the book I'm giving away:

Read from March 13 to 14, 2014

This book is an absolutely amazing read, and a fantastic start to the series! It's wonderfully written, with well-rounded characters, a plot that moves along at a nice pace, and excellent descriptions.

It seems some of you need more temptation, a reason WHY you should download this FREE book.

What reviewers are saying about it:

“This book is an absolutely amazing read, and a fantastic start to the series!”

“I very much enjoyed this fantasy novel, romping through it in a few hours before reading through again more slowly, savouring the details.”

“I would recommend this book to fantasy lovers and people who like something a little different. David Staniforth is a wonderful creator of characters and i can never see myself getting tired of what his imagination puts to print.”

“This is one very awesome story. I loved how description and world details were fed through piece at a time and how it kept the pace nice and high.”

“I would absolutely without a doubt recommend this book to anyone who loves really well written fantasy books. Although it's technically a young adult book, I feel that it branches out with its content and would be a pleasure to read by someone of any age who enjoys fantasy!”


Go on, you’ve got nothing to loose; if you don’t enjoy it, I’ll give you a full refund ;~)

I have just become aware that is now free in Canada as well as USA and UK

Need a little more encouragement to try book one for FREE? Well, here's the latest 5* review for book three :

Branwen Sedai *of the White Ajah* rated it 5 of 5 stars
Shelves: fantasy-science-fiction
"I like to think anyone can be anything they want to be, given enough motivation. Sometimes evil men will do good, and good men will do evil. Each and every one of us has the capacity to travel to the extremes of both."

Wow. I wanted to take my time and savor this book by reading slowly but it started off with such a bang and was so damn exciting the whole time I just found that I couldn't stop reading! This was the longest book in the series, which was fantastic, because there were so many characters and intense situations it was so fantastic to get to spend more time with them.

There is a lot to love about this book. First and foremost, as usual, David Staniforth has brought his wonderfully descriptive writing style to the table once more and described even more places that I wanted to explore and discover. The city Santaxiom and Onktor Valley were two places that I loved reading about, they were so beautiful and exciting! There were new creatures and people (conchubar, onktor, etc) as well which added even more spice and flavor to the story.

Um also can I just say that the main evil character, Grizzle, was probably one of the most evil, terrifying, and downright disgusting characters I have ever read about? Seriously. Some of the scenes involving her really really freaked me out (in a good way). She was just about as scary as Jit the hedge witch and Emperor Jagang from Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. There is literally nothing as scary to me as those characters so for Grizzle to even come CLOSE to that is a huge accomplishment, in my opinion.

My favorite aspect of the book was Davran. What an amazing female character. I absolutely love her and was so excited to watch her grow and become an even more amazing woman in this last book. There are too few characters like her, unfortunately. She totally rocks. :)

I would recommend this book and this series to anyone who loved fantasy stories with great characters!

Ha, I thought the first review was by Kate Middleton at first. That'd be a good endorsement.

I'll give this a look on my Kindle later today.

That would be a scoop! Thanks Thaddeus.

Uptake of (still free by the way) has been great, and sales of the second book are beginning to grow, so I guess some people are liking the first book.

So, I'd like to say a very big thank you to all that have downloaded it, and if you know anyone who would like it, please let them know of its freeness.

If you haven't got a copy... well you won't know what you're missing out on ;~)

I'm pleased to report that is now free in Australia.
