Calling artists of all ages, we need pictures of the Hunters of Reloria characters.  We've made it easy by compiling a list of the main characters for you to draw / paint / sculpt / engrave...hey, whatever artform takes your fancy.
All you have to do to enter is send in a scan or photo of your artwork to Kasper by the end of January.  You can enter up to 3 times, so come on and have a go.
There are loads of interesting new characters coming out soon in book 2: Hunters' Quest, like centaurs, mermaids, wizards and loads of dragons.
Details on our Art Competition page on the website.  Tell your friends.
Cheers, Kasper.


Thanks to Jude Udina for the great review on Smashwords

5 stars!  Very, very good, I really enjoyed it and can't wait for part 2!! The fairies bonded to the halflings are such a unique idea and there was a lot of action and adventure. Congratulations, it is a magnificent effort. Let me know when I can buy Hunters' Quest!  Review by: Jude Udina on Oct. 28, 2013. 
Thanks Jude.  Yes, Hunters' Quest is coming soon, so check back with us in a few weeks, Cheers, Kasper.

It took some bravery to get quiet Kasper to speak to 70 people at the book launch last weekend

"I'm a writer not a speaker," but I have a great book and a fantastic story to tell.  Come and share in the 'Beginning of all things' with new fantasy author, Kasper Beaumont.  Sure, it's not a polished performance or perfect video, but it's a fresh and exciting story and we hope you're going to love it.  All reviews welcome.

"A diamond in the rough."  New review of Elven Jewel by Andrew Baker

10/26/2013

 
Picture
Thank-you Andrew.  I really appreciate your insights and the good news is that Hunters' Quest promises to be even bigger and better.  My editor says I'm improving all the time.  - Kasper

Andrew says in his blog:

"Initially, I didn't fall in love with Elven Jewel. It started out a little slow for me, but what high fantasy doesn't start that way? Another issue I had is that during some of the fast paced moments a bit of description is lost, specifically during some of the beginning battles. There were a few issues with editing, but any of us who have written a book know how difficult it is for indie authors to check their own work. A fresh pair of eyes is key.

"The story has some old ideas and some new, but if I had set the book down, however, I would have been at a loss. This young adult story just happens to be a diamond in the rough, and anyone who has read through the entire book knows it.

"The story begins with some halflings and their faeries playing together in a field far from their home, which just happens to be the place where a portal opens from a land on the other side of the world. The owners of the gateway are a civilization of carnivorous lizard-like people who despise all other life and intend to conquer all the other civilizations simply to fill their own bellies. In fact, they seem barely capable of keeping hostages without eating them.

"After the lizard species begins to invade, the young halflings tell one of their fathers, who packs them all up for a journey to warn the elves, the magical protectors of Reloria. The journey does not come without trouble, and soon enough, the young people find themselves fighting alongside fierce warriors of magic, blade, and shield.

"I later found myself enjoying the story. All in all, it could use some work, but all the complaints I first mustered were eventually quelled by a fun tale and unique characters and races of people, all with their own sets of skills. I plan on passing it to my son who enjoys epic fantasies."

Check out these great reviews for the new Elven Jewel paperback.

Thanks everyone for all your positive feedback.  Feel free to share your reviews with friends and family and post them online.  You can post on Amazon.com, Smashwords.com and / or  Goodreads.com. 
Many thanks, from Kasper.

Should I change the title font?

10/22/2013

 
Picture
I've had feedback from a fellow author that the font is a bit strange and doesn't work.  What do you think?  On the plus side, if I changed it, the first customers would all have a limited edition collectors item.  :-)
Thanks for your views.
Cheers, Kasper.


New fantasy art competition with categories for under 18 and open age.

10/20/2013

I'm pleased to announce that we're expanding the fantasy art competition for Hunters' Quest to allow adults to participate too.  There's a $150 first prize and the winner will be invited to have their picture on the back cover of the new Hunters' Quest novel.
Get out your paintbrushes and give it a go.  I can't wait to see the new characters from the Hunters' Quest book.  The character descriptions are listed on the webpage on the 'characters' and 'Hunters' Quest characters' pages.
Happy drawing from Kasper.

Thanks to everyone who attended the successful Elven Jewel book launch.

10/19/2013

Redcliffe Library hosted the book launch of the new Elven Jewel novel and at least 70 people attended, including many children in costumes.  Kasper, gave a powerpoint presentation and spoke about the new fantasy novel and the experience of writing and publishing a first book.  The revised Youtube clip with fantasy artwork was shown to hearty applause.
 
Paperbacks books were presented to the cover artists; Scott Patterson, Mae Mai Bidlake and Riley Malyon and also the editor, Bill Fox-Taylor.

One keen fan gave a wonderful book review of her experience of reading the novel and eagerness to read the next edition.

We had a delicious gluten free chocolate cake, made by Redcliffe company My Cake Lady.

Many of the audience purchased a copy of the paperback novel and some fans brought their own one in from home to be autographed.  There were many participants having a photo taken with Kasper, but these will not be displayed on this public page for privacy reasons. 

A new fantasy art competition was announced for both adults and children this time and will commence on the 1st of November 2013.

Kasper says a big thank-you to all who attend and really hopes you enjoy the novel.  Please feel free to post a review online and to tell your friends about the novel.

Slumber party with excited young fantasy fans.

We have a bunch of excited youngsters here on the eve of the Elven Jewel book launch.  I'm hoping these halflings will settle down soon or else they may see the dragon roar tonight.
By the way, this is Asher.  I didn't have a drawing of him yet, so I did one myself.  You can see why I get others to do the artwork for me.
Righto, I'm off to get some zzzzz and will see you all tomorrow.
Live large, from Kasper.


Elven Jewel book launch - the Beginning of all Things - on Saturday

10/16/2013

 
The dragons are coming and we're getting excited!  Only 2 more sleeps to the book launch.  We have a run through at the library today; checking on the cake shop; uploading Youtube clips; printing out lots of paperwork; and probably a hundred things I haven't thought of yet. 
Thanks so much to everyone who has booked in for the book launch and we hope you enjoy the show.  I have invited the editor and artists to come, so there will be lots of interesting folks to meet with while enjoying your cake.  Ooh cake....mmm.  I digress... 
I don't know if it's just my computer, but it will take 2 hours to upload the revised Elven Jewel Youtube clip and then I'm guessing almost as long for the Hunters' Quest one which is a little shorter.  I wish I had some pictures of the lightning creatures, because that is the main description in the new clip, as well as all the dragons.
I can't wait to see what the artists come up with in the next art competition.  Cheers, Kasper.
