I don’t usually post on Saturday, but I’m excited and wanted to share my happy moment.
Maxwell Huxley’s Demon, written by Michael Conn, came out in paperback a few weeks ago. You many know this is my brother’s debut novel and it’s sensational.
I’ve read the e-book version of the novel, but wanted my own copies to save. So I ordered them and they arrived.
Here’s the good bit. To my surprise, I read the dedication.
For Kristina, my cheerleader, my editor, my sister.
That’s me! Wow! I am so flattered and honoured to be mentioned in this way.
Here’s the blurb to wet your appetite:
In MAXWELL HUXLEY’S DEMON, when nine-year-old Maxwell Huxley and three others break free from their mountain-top “school” for gifted children – a place where kids mysteriously vanish when they turn ten – a fantastical chase around the world begins. Pursuing answers and freedom, Max unintentionally creates a new world: a world where friends and family meet their demons, where artificial beings come to life, and where nanotechnology is indistinguishable from magic. Maxwell pays a heavy price to discover what he was bred for.
One part Ender, one part Bourne, and a dash of Harry.
