Your nails will be bitten to the quick
Another Nightfall Gardens Amazon review:
"Fair warning, by the end of this book, your nails will be bitten to the quick. Mr. Houston does an amazing job at combining fantasy with emotional realism-his sensitive observations and ability to maintain psychological tension transcend the genre. Hope my nails grow back by book two."

Couldn't stop reading
Another "Nightfall Gardens" review!
"I intended to read it over the weekend but once started I did not put it down until the end. The author ended the book leaving my wishing for more so I am anxious for the next in this series. A perfect read for tweens, teens and adults."

Hooked on the book
I'm now a Mr. New review.
"Mr. Houston rewards the reader's curiosity whenever one strays into the gardens or into forbidden rooms, tantalizing all the way with episodes of horror and fantasy. I'm hooked and already regretting loaning the book to my fiance because I want to read it again. Book Two can't come quickly enough."

Book Two: Nightfall Gardens is coming soon
I've seen the cover of "The Shadow Garden" and all I can say is "wow." Tony Roberts knocked himself out. Totally creepy. The book is in the last stages of being edited and will be out in the next week (fingers crossed).

Scariest book cover of all time?
I'll be premiering the cover of the second book in my "Nightfall Gardens" trilogy, "The Shadow Garden," on my author's page. Like it to get a first glimpse.
