Reader Feedback: "Thanks so much for the chance to read your book - with it's cliff hanging ending!" - Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. “Very awesome and amazing and once you start reading you just can’t stop!!” – Sarah. "I took your book home and read it and I think it is fabulous. In the beginning it looked like a regular young person's story about school bullies and then the story really took off when the space ship took off. I love the creatures and worlds you created. I think you have managed to combine the science into it in a really good way. It does not slow the story down but adds an extra dimension to the story for those that want it. I think it would make an exciting movie too." - Nikki, Self published author. Arren Teaser Trailer: Click here to buy the books or find out more about them!
