Margaret James: Fantasy, crossover...

Welcome!

I've set up this blog so that all my friends, relations and colleagues in the world of writing can keep up to speed with what I'm doing - from now on, I'll never have to say sorry for not keeping in touch.

Or anyway, that's the plan.

So do please link up with me on Facebook and Twitter - https://www.facebook.com/margaret.james.5268 and https://twitter.com/majanovelist

You can find my novels as digital downloads on Apple iTunes, Kobo, Kindle and Nook, and most are available as print paperbacks, too.

Fantasy, crossover...

These days, we hear a lot about crossover novels that both children and adults love. Obviously, that's the way to go - if you can write a story that delights people of all ages, you're going to have the widest possible reader-appeal. Fantasy novelists seem to be especially good at creating crossover story lines.

Debut novelist Ellen Renner has written the perfect crossover novel. It's an exciting, atmospheric story called Castle of Shadows, is published by Orchard, and it's on www.amazon.co.uk now. It's already had some very good reviews.

Ellen is having a launch party at Exeter Public Library on Saturday January 30th at 1 pm. So, if you want to meet a new author, and if you live within travelling distance of Exeter, put the date in your diary!
