Acadian Star | Helene Boudreau

A moving and exciting adventure

Valerie Sherrard says:

I adore Booth Tarkington's books! He's wonderfully funny and has the most delightful way of showing human nature in all its silliness. I first read Seventeen when I was in grade 8 and loved it then, but didn't fully appreciate it until I reread it (again

My first novel for adults (my twentieth book, wow!) is now available for pre-order. It's set in the same world as the short story "The Storyteller" in the collection of the same name. I think the cover speaks for itself. Gods, demons, possession, heroes ...

Just a quick announcement to friends of my latest book, #3 in the "Cassandra Virus" trilogy. Jordan, Helen, and Cassandra are back in The Black Box. For those of you who really liked the Harveys, Harvey Two is in this one as well, but for once, he might actually be on Jordan's side.

And while I'm here, I'd like to announce that my own new book, the fourth in the Warlocks of Talverdin series, is now out. It's about a new generation of characters, so although it follows on from the first three novels, it can also be read as an adventure that stands on its own.

A really funny, suspense-filled story, about a Victorian teen whose love-interest is a werewolf, whose arch-enemy is a crazed war-criminal, and whose summer holiday is turning out to involve too many assassins. I admit Marlowe is a friend of mine, but I'd love this book even if I'd never met the man!

A very promising first novel. I've reviewed it on my profile page, so I won't say much about it here beyond that I enjoyed it immensely and if you like well-written, non-simplistic teen fantasy, it's worth picking up. (And hard to put down once you do.)

Terry Pratchett

I'm reading this for the second time. It's great; all of the keen observation of human nature and the wisdom one expects from Pratchett, a cook-and-goblin romance, the Patrician's vampire lady friend, a sexy model in a false beard, and the wizards of UU. If you haven't read Pratchett yet you're missing something wonderful.
