This debut of a series into the coming of age fantasy genre has made a definite splash. A wondrous mixture of the childlike main character and mature themes to quote one five star reviewer. It is the introduction into a whole new fantasy world with unique cultures, dragons and magic.Alador, a young man who cannot find a way to fit into the world about him, finds himself thrust into the limelight. With a brand new world, new customs and of course dragons, Outcast offers something for both epic fantasy and coming of age readers. Alador wants nothing more then to fit into the world that rejects him due to his mixed heritage. He does not fit into the world of his mother and he can't seem to bring to life the power of his father. And then of course, there is a girl.Renamaum, a great blue dragon, wants to restore the pact between man and dragon that time and greed have erased. He petitions the council to find one who will fight for the future of both dragon and mortal. Both come crashing together when Alador is caught in a geas so strong that neither could abandon it, even in death.… (más)

This was a great read.... But I almost didn't bother because it's targeted/marketed all wrong.
So let's fix that, this deserves a much bigger audience.

Title: Geas?! Jeezus, sounds like an old women's problem. Outcast (Dragon Bond 1) or Banished (Dragonsworn 1)...

Cover: Looks like a shawl some hippy blue-rinse brigade would wear. Watercolour is weak. Strong lines needed. See Summer Dragon Todd Lockwood or



Blurb: Made it sound like some self-help book for ethnics of low self-esteem. Needs to be much more grandiose ie. more generic/cliched:
A boy, a dragon, a destiny that will shatter two nations. Outcast teen Alador scrapes a living on the fringes of his village, only espying his true love from afar ... until he unearths the mother of all bloodstones. The bond he will form will shatter his peaceful village life and shake the very foundations of society...

Author's name: Need a nom de plume. I said it. The elephant in the room needs a new pen-name . Because Mattthyesson or whatever will get you no Google hits cause it's simply to hard to spell, straight into the too hard basket. Even Sherill has too many variations. I suggest C.J. March, C.J Trask...
Hide the fact you're a female. Normally this annoys the hell out me -impedes my vetting process - but this is actually a male friendly book (congratulations), with credible romance, revenge, building, hardwork, dragons, even a blacksmith.

Make those cosmetic changes and get the readership you deserve. ( )
