As I continue to sift through information from literary agents and publishers, I am gradually refining the three synopses for my new series "The Ruby Key".
Here is the latest:
Book 1
The mysterious ruby-encrusted diary and key discovered by daring,
stubborn, 15-year-old Elora launches her into a wild and dangerous adventure.
Her world is turned upside down when she finds the beautiful but powerful diary
which carries her into the world of Roub-Talum where a sinister foreigner has
taken control of the throne that she discovers should be her own. With the help
of her friend Bowman, and an army of warriors known as Black Shadows, she sets
out on a quest to expel the foreigner from her land and retake her castle but
is dangerously threatened by the foreigner’s army of Tocbioras, shape changing
beings able to transform their human bodies into the shape of birds, or when
threatened form into spine-chilling beings of dark mist, able to manipulate and
destroy the minds of their victims. As danger closes in, Elora finds that her
diary is more than a door into another world, but a remarkable tool in the
hands of those of the royal blood. Chaos ensues as she attempts to remove the
evil foreigner who has usurped her throne, and drive his malevolent minions
from the land, while cunningly evading capture and execution, as she recklessly
rushes into danger to save those she loves.
Book 2
Elora’s journey around her land of Roub-Talum is interrupted when
flocks of Tocbioras, shape changing beings whose mist form is crippling and sometimes
deadly, attack a banquet held in her honor. Sent by the foreigner, whose
ultimate goal is to retake the castle at Roub-Talum and expel the people from
the land, the Tocbiora’s steal Elora’s powerful diary and capture Liam, leader
of the Black-Shadows and Prince of Roub-Talum. Elora’s narrow escape turns
disastrous when her ship is wrecked on the edge of unexplored land, where the
foreigner has built himself a fortress and begun his invasion. With the help of
a cunning bandit named Adam, and a sweet young Tocbiora called Jewel, who
refuses to bow to the foreigner’s wishes, Elora sets out to rescue Liam and
retrieve her precious diary, a task which may prove impossible as the foreigner
begins to discover the secrets of the diary and pursues her persistently.
Book 3
After Elora’s narrow escape from the foreigner, whose intention is
to seize her homeland of Roub-Talum and destroy her people, Elora is stranded in
the strange land of Bioraliss, where she is held captive by the Tocbioras,
shape changing beings that can form themselves into crippling dark mist or
disguise themselves as dark birds. Whilst Prince Liam sets out on a quest to
cross the perilous Canyon of Beyond with the intention of finding the true
leaders of Bioraliss and returning them to their home, Elora escapes and returns
to Roub-Talum. When her Knight Marshall cunningly leaves Elora’s service and
joins the servants of the foreigner, Elora sets out with her army of Black
Shadow warriors to find her Knight Marshall and defeat the foreigner, a mission
which may prove unachievable as the foreigner fights back, bringing more and
more of his Tocbioras to Roub-Talum to support his invasion.

Publishing my new series - The Ruby Key for middle grade children.
A lot of publishers will not accept unsolicited submissions. A lot of literary agents will not accept unsolicited submissions. Its a very difficult and daunting path when you set out to try to catch the eye of a publisher or literary agent. But there are some very good publishers and literary agents out there, and they really do know what they are doing.
There are so many vanity publishers who will take on my work. For a fee. That I don't have. I've been approached by a lot of vanity publishers, mostly stating they would like to publish my previous series because of the high ratings on Amazon. Sometimes it has been tempting, but I am determined to leave no stone unturned in the search for my own traditional literary agent and publisher.I am sincerely hoping a literary agent or publisher will become aware of the sheer volume of work I am willing to put in for promotion, advertising and social media. That I don't expect to give them the manuscript then stand back lazily. That would never work.
So here goes. I am about the pitch The Ruby Key series (middle grade fantasy) to all the publishers in the world, starting right here in Australia.

The Ruby Key - Fantasy Series for Middle Grade
Glad I don't need too much sleep. I need every moment I can get to put the finishing touches on my new series for middle grade children.
It is called The Ruby Key, and currently there are three completed books in the series.
Book 1 - The Shadow Village
Book 2 - The Foreigner's Revenge
Book 3 - Lost in Bioraliss
Elora is a daring, stubborn, teenaged girl, brave in the face of
danger, terrified of dark spaces, recklessly rushing into danger to save those
she loves.
Book 1
Elora’s world is turned upside down when she finds a beautiful but powerful diary which carries her into the world of Roub-Talum where a sinister foreigner has taken control of the throne that she discovers should be her own.

Influenced by Raymond Feist and John Flanagan
Have to say the style and genre reflects my love of the work of Raymond Feist (one of my favourite authors) and the tone is comparable to the work of John Flanagan (another favourite).
John Flanagan is an Australian author and the way he writes has an Australian undertone. The characters' attitudes and behaviours are so familiar to me, and I see this coming out in my own writing. I guess that is inevitable, that my characters have comfortable familiarity because written into their journeys are excerpts out of my own life and the lives of those around me.
Interesting that (in my opinion) Raymond Feist also writes like an Australian, so I wonder if he has spent a fair bit of time over here.
If anyone ever came to me and said that my work reminded them of Feist or Flanagan, that would be a massive compliment.

Amazon Reviews on New Book - I need bookworms and avid readers - Please help.
I really need help from all the most dedicated avid readers and bookworms out there. People who like great adventure stories.
It seems the hardest part of publishing a new book is getting people to leave reviews. Part of the problem is that you can't review a book unless you have spent $50 on Amazon in the last year. So if most of my readers are not in that category, bad luck to me!
If you like fast-paced, easy to read, action packed adventure, if you have already spent $50 on Amazon tin the last 12 months, I would love to have you review my book.
Today I joined all 4 books into one file (with convenient bookmarks) and uploaded it for sale as a complete 4 book series for $3.00 (US).
Please, if you are in a position to do so, I really need some good reviews to get started. The previous 3 books had great reviews, and I would love to see if readers like the new book (The Free) just as much.
If you like the book, or the series, please leave a good review. I would really appreciate it and be grateful for this help. You can even just leave a 5 star rating without actually writing a review.
Here are links to review Book 4 - The Free or the Series"
