This review is from: Shadow Over Avalon (Kindle Edition)
I grew up reading stories about King Arthur and the knights of the round table. I loved those stories and, to be honest, was hesitant about reading this book because I was resistant to any new stories, especially a science fiction story. Boy was I wrong and boy am I glad I read this! The author, C. N. Lesley, does a fabulous job mixing fantasy and science fiction with the Arthurian theme. She breaths new life into a classic character while remaining true to the spirit, passion, and values portrayed in the classic tales. Lesley’s prose is masterful. Her descriptions place you solidly in the scenes and the characters come to life in your mind. There is plenty of action and adventure, along with the other important human elements. If you are anything like me you won’t stop reading until it is done. I highly recommend this story and intend to look for other books by C. N. Lesley!

Beyond the mists of time, a dying warrior binds his soul to his sword with an oath to protect his people. His shade rides with the Wild Hunt while he waits for the call of greatest need, but when it comes, he doesn’t know it is a lie. In the undersea city of Avalon, Arthur nears the end of his acolyte training. But he doesn’t want to spend his life serving the Archive, he wants to fight with the air-breathing people to defeat the predators who are determined to survive at any cost.

REVIEW BY ROBERT K. SWISHER JR.

Growing up fantasy books to me were Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarks. Then for many years I did not read any fantasy or science fiction. On recommendation from a friend I purchased SHADOW OVER AVALON. That night I went to bed, normally reading for thirty minutes before I turn the lights off.At 4am I finished the book. It is a mesmerizing story, fast paced, with a plot that verges on being beyond imagination – people below the ocean, people on the surface, creatures from space, all woven into the fabric of the future so tightly you are there. For the lovers of fantasy works you SHOULD read this book.

Shadow Over Avalon is on the shortlist for the People’s Book Prize. To go any further in this competition it needs votes from readers. If you have a spare moment, I would be thrilled if you would consider voting for my book. Here is the linkhttp://www.peoplesbookprize.com/book.php?id=1096Image

Alrighty then, I have the stats in from Wattpad. I already know my contractual obligations and I will be working on those, which are not posted on that site. I wanted a third runner to work with alongside those. Angelus it is. This is a pure sci fi and is a tad different. No surprises there, coming from me. LOL. 

For some obscure reason, I need to work on three at once. Three is the magic number as it is the maximum I can load on my wide screen monitor and still have a good view. I find the need to jump from one story to another and I get a lot more wordage written in that way instead of concentrating on just one. My goal is to get two finished into first draft by the end of March. I am so serious about this that I will be limiting my time on social media until this is accomplished.
