I always appreciate it when fans of my books take the time to post a review for them online, and I'm full of admiration for those who choose to do so in a video. If you write a review, you have time to look back over what you've written and edit it, but once that camera starts rolling, you're on a slippery slope and there's no turning back!!

One such fan is a YouTuber with the user name of Sempai Amv. He's posted vidoe reviews of the first three books in my Cirque Du Freak series. I think I linked to the first one a long time back, and here at last are the links for books 2 and 3. Given that the review for book 2, The Vampire's Assistant, came out last October, and the Tunnels of Blood review aired last December, I've no excuse really for not sharing these sooner. All I can say is that I was tied up with very important, Princely business in Vampire Mountain for the last several months. Ahem!!! :-)

Luckily for me, I'm rather more timely on the Shanville Monthly front, and manage to get my newsletter out pretty much at the start of every month -- imagine if I was only reporting last October's news NOW?!?
