Links: Interviews with Blake Charlton and Paul Magrs

I’m starting to love Twitter. I’ve been following and occasionally with Blake Charlton, and was really chuffed to see Aiden’s interview announced:

Over the past few weeks, since first finding out about Blake Charlton and his upcoming debut novel, Spellwright, I’ve made a point of covering the novel. I don’t know what it is that’s grabbed my attention (certainly not the suitcase full of small, unmarked bills…); maybe it’s glowingly positive praise from Terry Brooks, Robin Hobb, Tad Williams, Tobias Buckell and Daniel Abraham, some of my very favourite authors; maybe it’s the fact that it reminds me of the Fantasy I used to love as a kid; maybe it’s Charlton’s background as a Med Student and his fight with Dyslexia (which plays a huge role in the story). What I do know is that I’m anxious to get my hands on an advance copy (that seems stuck in the endless limbo of the Canadian/US postal system) and even more excited about the 6,500+ word interview Charlton and I put together.

Definitely a debut author to watch if you like fantasy.

And also on Twitter today, which also happens to be Paul Magrs’ birthday, is an interview and competition to celebrate publication of Hell’s Belles via Book City Chick:

Today I have the pleasure in welcoming Paul Magrs the author of the Brenda & Effie paranormal  mystery series. I read and reviewed Conjugal Rites for my All Hallow’s Eve event and absolutely loved it. My review of Hell’s Belle’s will be posted tomorrow. I also have TWO copies (with SIGNED bookplate) of Hell’s Belle’s to giveaway courtesy of Headline Review. So make sure you enter at the end of the interview!

I’ve rapidly become a big big fan of the Brenda & Effie Mysteries so it’s great to see Paul Magrs interviewed about them and you all having a chance to win a copy of Hell’s Belles. The fourth book in the series. I’ve got reviews up of Never the Bride (Bk 1) and  Something Borrowed (Bk 2) with the third book, Conjugal Rites, being reviewed tomorrow.

I’m also about to send questions for my own interview with Paul, so hopefully that’ll be on the blog next week along with my own review of Hell’s Belles and another chance to win a copy.

Thanks to Aiden and Book City Chick for showing off two great authors.
