Over there at MANtastic, the book of the week this week is one of mine, The Pauper's Prize! I am so thrilled to see it up there, open for discussion and getting a bit of the spot light. So comments and thoughts are welcome!
Here's the lovely write up about The Pauper's Prize and something more about my writing, too.
Winning 2nd place in the Fantasy category at 2009 Rainbow Awards, The Pauper’s Prize is a classic tale set within a time of Lords and Ladies and with many intriguing twists.Mark Alders loves to write on a grand scale in fantastical
settings. Whether its unicorns, deep space or country woods, his
characters are always in for the adventure (and love) of a lifetime.
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
