Readers are loving The Sapphire City Chronicles:

Wow! This read was a real fun ride! A very grown-up superhero story with a hell of a pace, well drawn characters and fantastic, punchy dialogue. Verity Fortune is my spirit animal Erin

I havent read such a good book in a long timea really refreshing urban fantasy/superhero tale that I simply gobbled up Rebecca

Kind of like batman, but a girlthere are some major twists and surprises that I did not see coming Maghon

Action packed and riveting, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes superheroes

This book's tone was very reminiscent of The Dark Knight with Heath Ledger, full of cunning misdirection and unpredictable characters. And the ending! Oh boy the endingWorth every one of the five stars I gave it Judith

Author Bio

I''m an Aussie living in northern England, where at least the hospitality and the beer are warm. I write in coffee shops, feed my enormous cat, and watch TV or read until far too late at night. If it''s got serial killers, superheroes, monsters or spaceships preferably all four I''m there.On the big issues: Captain Picard is cooler than Captain Kirk, Batman would beat up Superman, and vampires are hotter than werewolves any day. See, I knew we''d get along.
