Aussie Readers discussion

"Frontier Incursion" is a YA Sci-fi, published by Hague Publishing, a relatively new eBook publisher based in Western Australia, and specialising in Fantasy and Science Fiction. There are four sample chapters available on their website, and my book is available on a variety of eBook platforms. I'll post some links below :)

Well done Leonie on your first book! Congratulations, it must feel good:) Thanks for the information on it looks great!

Thanks so much Brenda, it does feel good to be published! I've had some good reviews, so am hoping people continue to enjoy it.

I'm sure they will:) I guess you're writing your next one now?

I certainly am!

"For Shanna, joining the Scout Corps had been a dream come true. The Scouts were charged with expanding their knowledge of Frontier, a hostile planet their ancestors had crashlanded on 300 years before. As the youngest in her class, Shanna struggles to find acceptance and respect amongst her older peers - a task made more difficult by the fact that she has not just one, but two of the colonists' huge feline companions, their starcats.

On a routine patrol, she and the other cadets are swept up in the greatest challenge yet to be faced by the settlers of Frontier. Now they find themselves on the very frontline of a war they knew nothing about, and possibly the Federation of Race's last chance against the hostile Garsal. Suddenly their world has changed, and in ways never dreamed of by Shanna and her fellow scouts."

And just a link to my wonderful cover artist, Emma Llewelyn.

Beautiful cover Leonie! And wow, Emma does beautiful work!

Yes, she's fabulous! I have the original at home :) She is a really talented young artist, and managed to put the picture I had in my head onto a page using pastels. An absolute gift.

She sure is...she will certainly go far!

Just a note to say that this week, Frontier Incursion is featured as the Kindle Nation Daily Kids Book of the Week. This means that it is available at a reduced price on Amazon.

I've also had a short story accepted for publication in AntipodeanSF. It will be published in October this year :)

Congratulations Leonie:) A nice birthday gift!

Thanks Brenda!

Just an update - I had an email from the publisher of my first book (Hague Publishing) today, accepting the sequel for publication. Yay!

Congratulations Leonie that's fantastic news :)

Thanks Sharon - I'm feeling fairly happy right now :)

Congratulations Leonie! Brilliant news!!

Thanks Brenda! Am very pleased to say the least!

As you should be!

I have just received the countersigned contract for Frontier Resistance, sequel to Frontier Incursion. A very exciting moment! My cover artist (Emma Llewelyn) is already hard at work on concepts for the cover as well, and I can't wait to see her completed artwork, as she's an absolute genius at making my mental pictures into visual reality.

I've now changed the title of this thread, as I'm no longer a one book author :)

Congratulations on your new book Leonie!

Thanks Brenda - it's a lovely feeling. Looking forward to seeing what other wonderful cover art Emma can come up with.

Going on the cover of your first book, it will be something special!

Can't wait to see the sequel cover and read the sequel! Torn between begging to help edit it (have hinted to Hague) or to wait and enjoy it as the final polished piece. It really was fab read, I'm not just saying that as a fellow Hague author. :-)

Thanks Janis :)

I have a flash fiction piece published today on Antipodean SF.
