Over the last week I've been getting my Rak Shoma series covers updated and I'm happy to say they're's now for sale on various online outlets.The main ones are my own shop and Kobo. Why Kobo? I've just bought a Kobo Libra ebook reader and I'm very impressed with it.

Also available on other online stores such as Apple and Barnes and Noble. Visit the link below to find the correct link for the various bookshops. The link only shows the prequel but all books are on these bookshops.

I'm  not releasing them on Amazon. They are apparently shifting everything around, mainly the way readers find books, so I thought I'd give them a miss this time. 

However, if you buy them from my store https://caishelbooks.com/collections/fantasy they will be delivered by BookFunnel who do epub and Kindle formats, plus they have a good support if you have trouble uploading the books to your Kindle. You'll also get the versions with the new covers whereas Amazon has the old covers.

The series follows Ash and Orm from the Academy of Magic, through various countries which are divided by deep oceans. Ash's magic is different from everyone else and they are attempting to find her parents as she was abandoned as a baby and adopted by a couple on Homa, one of the continents of the planet.

There are five books in the series.

1.1. Prequel – Academy of Magic

1.   Broken Spire

2.   Steam Mountain

3.   Knights Keep

4.   Journey's End

 

 Happy Reading

 

 

Academy of Magic The Beginning Rak Shoma Series: Prequel  
The Maeven came as strangers.Centuries later, their secrets may undo them

Strangers came to Homa, wielding magic to raise a vast stone academy from the earth. From within its walls, the Maeven trained their young, sending them into the world as teachers, healers, and guides. Over the centuries, the people of Homa embraced their presence, even sending their own children to the Academy to learn the ways of magic.
But now whispers of discontent grow louder. Students suspect the Maeven are keeping secrets—denying them the true breadth of their power. As curiosity turns to rebellion, the Academy stands on the edge of change… and the balance between trust and betrayal could decide Homa’s future.

Have you ever read a book and thought it so good you ought to write a review? But then worry about how long the review should be and what should you write?

Why not only put a few words. Authors like to know what you really thought of their work so that they can improve it if necessary. For Sue and Nyria it's not about adding more customers and sales (although that helps us to keep going) we'd like to know what readers honestly thought of our books.

Try some of the following:

Good reading

Nice romance

Nice fantasy

Enjoyed this book

Like this author

Recommend this book

 

or anything else you'd like to say.

And of course if you'd rather not write anything - that's okay too.

 

Well June is half way through, this year is zooming past. Unfortunately June is the tax return month for me. It only took me a week to ten days this year. Usually takes nearly a month to get everything right. The weather here has turned cold, frost in the morning, condensation on the windows and chilly when I go out for a walk, but nice when I come back in the warmth of the apartment.

Special offers will be available on July 1st for the whole month. Don't forget to read the newsletter that week as there might be something that suits you.

This is a reminder that if you want a romance, light and easy to read, then my Village of Shadows boxset might suit your needs. 

There are four books all set in the village of Deden. Each new person believes there is some hidden mystery with the existing residents, but danger also hovers in the background. Read all four for only 99cents in total.

Happy reading - whatever you decide to read.

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good day. As most of you are in the Northern Hemisphere I presume the sun is shining and you're enjoying the warmth after the cold of winter. I'm in the Southern Hemisphere but although we're almost in winter, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Bit windy though.

Some of the people on my lists were offered a chance to get a free fantasy book from my own bookstore. Now I'm offering it to everyone - plus a romance boxset at a special price.

The free book can be accessed by visiting my shop (Caishel Books) where you will be asked to subscribe to the newsletter to be able to access the free book (yes I know you're subscribed on my list but I will be changing over in the next few months and wouldn't want to assume you will want to stay). Subscribing should take you to the book (The Sixth Key) and if you click on the "Add to Cart" you will be sent to the checkout where the discount will be applied. This will run until 31st May 2025.

There is a possibility that your email provider will not give the distributor's email access to your email address, if this happens then please go to the address below and check if this is the case. If you still can't get the free book please contact me and I'll look into it.

Postmark app 

The boxset is my Village of Shadows series of four books. These are contemporary romance books and are available at 99 cents USD for the set. To find the book, click on the link below. This isn't discounted but I would appreciate you joining the newsletter so that you can learn about new releases and discounts

Village of Shadows 

Regarding delivery the same applies as above. Visit Postmark app and if there's still problems contact me on info@superkinsauthor.com

Happy reading to everyone

 Not sure if I mentioned this before but I have started a Shopify Shop and also added a new blog to it. Up until now everything in late 2024 and 2025 have been put on both blogs, but eventually I will transfer to the Shopify one. Want a look? Here's the link.

While I'm here I must advise the outcome of the survey you all so kindly took part in. It's given me quite a bit to think about.

Book                                        111

Blurb                                        116

Size of Print                              96

Thickness of book                    96

First Page/First Chapter           108

Reviews                                   114

Authors                                    123 

I should have also asked if you like ebooks, print books or audiobooks, but I even though I designed it with this question, for some reason it didn't come across to the form. If you want to comment on this please leave a comment on either blog. Thanks. 

Most of the comments were as follows:

The forword in a book;
mood;
read a couple of books before deciding to follow an author;
like clean--no sex before marriage;
free/kindle unlimited;
would like the option of fonts and font sizes used for printed or ebookthings that work on a cellphone can be a nightmare on on a large desktop-- and vice versa;
neutral off-white works better on small screens than a true white;
make sure the title and blurbs tell the truth about the book;
price - high priced books are too expensive for many, even if they have everything the reader is looking for in a book.

 I would like to say re the price. If you go to your library a lot of ebooks are on Hoopla - the library's ebook  programme which is free to download (at least it is in New Zealand). You're usually allowed to keep the book for 30 days, then the access is revoked.

Also Libby is another one that the libraries use, but not sure if that's free.
