M. A. Maddock's Blog: The Sixth Amulet - Book One

Hi, everyone.

Hope you're all doing well and enjoying lots of great reads.
Just an update on how things are progressing. While myself and the other authors, who were signed to Hurn Publications, are gaining momentum as we fight for justice, I am prepping for the re-release of my novel. SIDE NOTE: I discovered soon after my book (Beyond the Darkness) was initially released, that this Publisher actually published the unedited version. To do this on a debut is simply horrendous and potentially damaging. I was not the only one, either. However, we are fighting back, and I now have a great (and professional) team behind me this time, determined to bring you the proper version, now renamed The Sixth Amulet - Book One.
I'll keep you all posted. In the meantime, take care.

Hi, everyone.

On the 24th October (2021) Hurn Publications closed its doors on its authors, for good. They are no longer in business.
Therefore, I would urge anyone who is planning on purchasing Beyond the Darkness (in its current form) to refrain from doing so, for now, while I wait for it to be removed from all selling platforms.
Needless to say, this has been an extremely upsetting and frustrating time for myself and the other authors involved.
HOWEVER! I am pleased to announce that Beyond the Darkness will be re-released next spring as a new edition, with extras, including a teaser chapter from part two of this series - The Moon Chasers.
I'll be keeping you all up-to-date, though, on the book's rebirth.
I would like to thank those of you who have read Beyond the Darkness to date, and who have been kind enough to leave reviews.
Onwards and upwards.

Hi, everyone.
Hope you're all enjoying this time of the year. I know I am.
Well, it's been a few weeks since the release of Beyond the Darkness. For those of you who are currently reading it, first of all, thank you for buying a copy; I'm so grateful to you. Also, I truly hope you're enjoying it. And, remember, if you've a couple of minutes to spare, please post a review; they're so important to authors.
Anyway, release day was simply great! Busy, mind you, but great! Something I'll never forget. Also, I had a night for some of those who have been a massive help to me over the years; I'm indebted to them for all their on-going support.
So, here we are, right in the bosom of my favourite time of the year. I love autumn! It's the reason why I set Beyond the Darkness during this season, giving me lots of inspiration. I hope!
At the moment, I'm working on book 3 of The Sixth Amulet series. Almost finished it. However, I'm in two minds as to who shall live... and who shall die! Then again... Oh, how the mind of an author works.

Hi everyone, how's it going? Well, as the 14th of September looms, I'm getting nervous by the day, with my upcoming release. Though nervous, I'm excited! I must admit, it feels surreal, knowing my novel will be released out into the big wide world. No doubt, every debut feels exactly the same. I also must add that the support I've been receiving has been overwhelming. It's so important, especially when the literary world is swamped with so many wonderful writers. The competition is massive! But, I believe there's room for us all, with plenty of genres to choose from. So, if you like your historical fantasy fiction (yes, it's for adults, though not by GOT saucy standards) then you may just like this.
