DRAGONSTONE UPDATE

Hello everybody!

All has been quiet recently though just to let you know that Dragonstone is alive and well.

My publisher and I have been working on upgrading the book for you all to make it a more pleasurable experience for you all. Various errors and anomalies have been corrected so there are no more 'poor dinks' in this novel ha-ha. Furthermore, there have been changes to the layout of the book that will be revealed in due course (final approval to the layout changes is yet to be confirmed and approved). I have also re-crafted and made clear 'some' sentences and made a small addition to a detail in one of the scenes as I felt it was too close to something that is already out there. In all, Dragonstone is looking much better.

For those who are lucky enough to have a First Edition copy, the changes that I have made will make your  edition much more valuable, so please keep it safe.  There is still time to purchase copies of this rare edition though time is ticking before it is removed from sale.

Once the new version is uploaded and ready for sale then the real launch of DSHP can begin.  There will be a Kindle version that will be released too.  Another surprise will also ensue! :)

There will be a couple of small enhancements/additions to the website. This will be in preparation of things to come.

Finally, a massive thank you to those who have read the book and have either provided a review or have fed back to me your thoughts about the novel.  There has been genuine enthusiasm (by some) which I have recognised and I will acknowledge this in a fitting way :o). No late comers at this stage!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

A REVIEW BY NINA; A WELL READ PROFESSIONAL

Thank you for this Nina!

Loved this story. Just my thing. Rich, descriptive language that made me feel like I was there sharing the adventure. Engaging characters, twists and turns and more than a small dose of good humour kept me hooked from start to finish. Is there a sequel planned?

Remember, all reviews can be seen either on Amazon or the Facebook Dragonstonebook page.

MARION, OHIO, USA, CALLING!

Thank you Bradley for this!

What can I say? Mr. Stuart certainly has a way of grabbing your attention from the very beginning. I was entirely enthralled in this wonderfully magickal journey that these characters embark on. You can’t keep yourself from getting addicted to some of the characters and their personalities! Any fan of the magickal world will feel almost at home with this fantastically rich story due past experiences with a certain Mr. Potter! Get your hands on this novel. You won’t regret it!

FIRST, USA REVIEW FROM TUSCON, ARIZONA

Thanks Colin for this!

Stuart's first novel is entertaining from the get-go, and suitable for all ages. Readers will feel a familiarity with Dragonstone if a fan of the Harry Potter series, yet there is something fresh at the same time. As we see the characters embark on their magickal journey, there are unexpected and, sometimes lighthearted, twists to the plot. All in all, this is an excellent read, and bound to become a firm favourite for readers of the fantasy genre.

A BRIEF SWEDISH COMMENT ON DSHP :)
