The Saga of Jan 09

January 30th, 2009

We’ve had a *BAD* Jan 09.

Various little reasons, the biggest one (and the most important one to you guys as readers and customers), is a massive stuff up with our courier *AND* our distributors.
Basically, the distributors have misplaced about 4 of our purchase orders, and our courier company has lost 12 boxes, which now need to be re-ordered through the distributors again…

No names named…
But the net effect, is that we’ve had basically zero new books in the whole month of Jan, and almost no restocks.

And there have been a few other non-stock-related issues as well… >.<

So.
If you’ve been wondering why our shelves have been a bit bare, if you’ve been wondering why we haven’t posted here, its because we haven’t had anything positive to say. :(

*BUT*
It’s a new month in about 2 days time, so let’s hope things get significantly better! :D

Hope you’re enjoying (or at least not suffering too much) under this heat! I know I’m hating it. ;)

Cheers
Jonathan

Jennifer Fallon’s Tide Lords

If you can live forever…
If you HAVE lived forever…
You’ve done everything that is possible under the sun…
You have gained the skills and the abilities to be able to learn and do anything new that might eventually appear under the sun…
If you have the power such that you can magically do everything you ever wish you could do…

Then what will you do next…?

In Cayal the Immortal Prince’s case… He chose to die.
But as you can imagine. It isn’t that easy for an Immortal to die…

Jennifer Fallon is a top rate Australian author. She’s always had a different style of fantasy writing, and now her skill and her story telling are truly blooming and are showcased here in her latest series: The Tide Lords.

Comprising of four books, The Immortal Prince; The Gods of Amyrantha; The Palace of Impossible Dreams; and The Chaos Crystal, the Tide Lords have long been in hiding as the magical Tide that grants them their powers has been out. So long they have been in hiding, that the humans treat them as myths, and the only people that still remember and believe in them are the half-human slaves that were created for the sole purpose of serving the Tide Lords all those ages ago…

But now as the Tide returns, deeper and more powerful than it ever has in the past, the Tide Lords start to stir from their shadows, beginning to scheme and to plot to place themselves at the head of humanity again, and in position to rule the world of Amyrantha all over again.

And in their glee and desire to conquer all, they will turn their collective sights against Cayal… For he seeks a way to die. And if his mortality is rendered true, then the rest of the Tide Lords too, can die, and they have no desire to ever be able to do so…

If you haven’t realise yet… THIS IS WELL WORTH READING!!! ;)
