Obverse Books announces a limited edition hardback release of The Ninnies, a new YA fantasy novel from Paul Magrs, creator of Iris Wildthyme, Brenda and Effie and author of the best-selling AudioGo! Fourth Doctor adventures.

The Ninnies is fully illustrated throughout by award-winning artist Bret Herholz.  Only 100 hardback copies will be printed.

“A deliciously dark tale of crunchy crisps, abridged animals and merciless Mancunian monsters. When you read The Ninnies you may laugh or you may cry – but you’ll definitely sleep with the lights on…” – Tommy Donbavand, author of Scream Street

“The Ninnies whisks the reader away into the great dark stretch of some fabulous nightmare, pinned down by Paul Magrs with poetry and precision. Vivid fantasy with the warmest heart, best read by torchlight in the dark.” – Steve Cole, author of Astrosaurs

Edge of Dreams, new YA novel from Debbie Bennett Edge of Dreams, new YA novel from Debbie BennettComments Off

BFS member Debbie Bennett has launched her YA fantasy e-book, Edge of Dreams, on kindle and smashwords.

‘ “What do you do when you realise that the bad guys might care more about you than the good ones?”

Ricky’s on the edge of a life of crime. Skipping college to steal cars in the aftermath of his father’s death in action, it’s not surprising that his dreams are vivid and seem almost real.

Calith’s just on the edge of a life. Snatched from Ricky’s world to another place altogether, Calith’s found out that when you’ve grown up with the enemy, it’s hard to make friends.

Then Ricky dreams of Calith and nobody seems more real than this boy from another world, with his multi-coloured hair and temper to match. But are Calith’s motivations all they seem? Ricky’s not sure. Calith’s dark past is coming back to haunt him big time, and when you’re jumping worlds to escape the good guys, something must be wrong somewhere, mustn’t it?

A contemporary fantasy, certified 100% vampire-and-werewolf-free. No elves, faeries, dragons or wizards. Not even any zombies. Anywhere.

No, really – there aren’t. ‘

No e-reader? You don’t need one! Check out free kindle apps where you can download free readers for your PC, phone or whatever gadget you have. Or grab a book via smashwords, where you can get the book in PDF or HTML.
