A new review is up on the first volume of the Nightfall Garden trilogy.

"What a debut. Cannot wait for the next installment. Reminds me a bit of Nix when he wrote Lireal. Very original fantasy. Will easily go into my top ten."

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."

"Houston incorporates an interesting mix of Greek mythology, ghosts, goblins, and his own novel creatures to create a terrifying world that, without the efforts of a young girl and her brother, will soon be consumed by them. I'm a fan of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials Trilogy and Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game Series; this first volume is up there with those."

I'm proud to announce that Nightfall Gardens is now on Kobo and shortly to come on the iBooks.

I've just finished the first round of edits on "The Shadow Garden", the second nook in the Nightfall Garden trilogy. I think its bigger, bolder, darker and carries the series in unexpected directions.
It will be released at the end of August or early September. Firm release date to come soon.

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."

My good friend Jenice (who is an amazing artist, inspirer, ass-kicker) created some ‘gummy’ art inspired by Nightfall Gardens. Check out her Nightfall Gardens Gummy art on my blog.

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).

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.
