VENGEANCE BORN - It's RELEASE DAY!

Today's the day!


Happy Release Day,
VENGEANCE BORN!

There is no mercy in the demon realm. No escape. In this place of desperation and conflict, anyone who is not pure bred is virtually powerless. Until an unlikely champion is born…

Annika, half-blood daughter of the Na’Reish King, longs for more than her tormented life among her father’s people. Conceived in hatred and bred as a tool of retribution, she’s gifted with a special talent that can heal as well as destroy.

With the Na’Reish vastly outnumbering them, Kalan, a Light Blade warrior, knows the future of humankind depends on him alone. Incursions into human territory and raids for blood-slaves by the Na’Reish Horde have increased. As Chosen-leader, he faces the task of stopping the demons—and convincing the Council of aging Light Blade warriors that change is necessary for survival.

When Annika learns Kalan is a prisoner in her father’s dungeon, her dream of escape seems within reach. She agrees to free him in exchange for his protection once they reach human territory. Now, marked for death for helping him, Annika must learn to trust Kalan as they face not only the perilous journey
to the border but enemies within the Council—and discover a shocking truth that could throw the human race into civil war…

  19. Thank you so much to everyone!

    I went to work early, came home late, sat down with a cuppa to check emails and my jaw dropped.

    I had almost 350 emails (and several messages on my answering machine). As I scrolled through the list 180 odd were either personal, social networking or e-loop congrats, hugs, whistle blowing, tweeting about the release, post office stalking (for the book to arrive) and best wishes for VENGEANCE BORN's release day, at which point I burst into tears - I NEVER expected that.

    A friend asked me what my reaction was to today - was I excited, nervous, over it (umm, no!) etc.

    I told my friend it's a bit surreal knowing the book is now out - I had a bit of a OMG moment when I thought of friends and parents of my school kids reading the book (so many have ordered it -which I'm eternally grateful for but OMFreaking Goodness-golly-gracious!!!!!! They're going to be reading it!!!!! - you know, those sorts of crazy thoughts). But I'm also proud as punch to see a something that started as a dream back in high school finally come to fruition.

    It's the "I've finally done it!" head space. Lots of emotional swings.

    Now, I think I'm going to pour myself a Bailey's and have a quiet one out on the verandah. Thank you again - to everyone - you've ll made my day very, very special!

    Kylie (I'm now going to cry again) Griffin
