Some reviews for the novel are finally coming in from various sources. So far the general consensus is better than I imagined, four reviews on Amazon gained three 5 star reviews and one 4 star review.
On another note the wife finally decided to read my debut novel after others told her it was rather good! Almost four years of work and she had never previously bothered to read the novel as she kinda knew the story line already. Alas when she started to read it took a full two days to finish the book as she said "Seriously could not put the book down even though i know the story" Needless to say a very happy review from someone who can be my biggest critic on almost everything ;-)

Have recently published the novel on Smashwords and into multiple download methods, hopefully the novel can get the audience it deserves.

Working on the follow up novel already, there is much marketing to complete but the second novel in the trilogy cannot be ignored either. Happily it is already 108,000 words and I can claim that it will be well received by those who have read Samantha.
