Boy, getting reviews is like pulling teeth.  OUCH!

Though, I have to admit I never thought of leaving a book review until after I became a published author.  And I never read indie books before either.  Now, that’s all I read. 

Both of my Excalibur books have been sitting on 79 and 7 reviews for the longest of times.  I keep checking every day, hopeful some reader would feel moved enough to leave a review of what they thought.  Then lo and behold, one new review for each book on the same day.  YEAH!!

So, here are my two new reviews, both 4 stars.  And the first book now has 80 reviews.  Amazing!

THE SECRET OF EXCALIBUR

4.0 out of 5 stars A well-written and excellent tale

Excalibur, the mythical sword of King Arthur.

Arthur Merlin has great powers, but he keeps them hidden. When people find out about them, they fear him.He keeps moving around the world, but when he comes to the UK,he meets with Ruth, who does not seem to fear him.

Ruth and he travel to a lake in the South of England and there Arthur feels he is being called to by something in the lake.

Arthurian legend and modern life come together in this original tale by Sahara Foley. They find Excalibur, but discover the truth about the sword is much stranger and more dangerous than anyone could imagine.

THE REVENGE OF EXCALIBUR

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent writing and story-telling.

ByAmazon Customeron January 15, 2017

This book is the second in the Excalibur series and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first one. This time, instead of following Arthur and Daisy on their adventures out in the Universe, we concentrate on Arthur’s daughter, Pamela.

Arthur does not know of the birth of his daughter, nor that she has inherited his gifts.

Pamela feels something of a misfit on Earth as she has to hide her powers from others. If they know what she is capable of, they would fear her. One day she is whisked off to space by mysterious forces that turn out to be intelligences contained in a living spaceship. These two women, granddaughter and grandmother, tell her that her father is in danger and that he and his wife, the alien Daisy, whom he met in The Secret of Excalibur, are imprisoned.

The rescue of Arthur and Daisy involves the releasing of the Shalit from Excalibur, one of the entities known as Planet Eaters.

Pamela has to use her powers and faces great danger. She finds her true love in a most unusal person, and the twist at the end caught me by surprise.

Ms Foley has built complex worlds with strange alien creatures and a politics we can all recognise. Pamela’s change from a timid, self-conscious girl to a confident woman is believable, after what she goes through.

The writing is excellent and I have no hesitation in giving this book 4 stars.

If you’ve already read my books but haven’t left a review yet, please do.  No matter the rating.  Amazon puts a lot of weight on reviews and rankings.  It helps get our books noticed in Amazon’s overflowing catalogue of ebooks. 

Thank you.
