The long journey to publish Facing Demons has recently come to an end following its release in mid-October. Since I've been back from Europe I've been busy finalizing proof copies, book covers, and upping my marketing efforts. With help from Reader Views - a fantastic book publicity company, I've had my book reviewed, press releases sent out and have been interviewed.

Reader Views is currently featuring me this week via their website and newsletter. Use the following links to have a look!

More Reviews for Facing Demons

I’ve been working with Irene Watson, managing editor of Reader Views, to get my pre-publication publicity on the right track. Part of this involves Irene and her team sending out galleys of Facing Demons to reviewers from various book review organisations. I posted my first review in April and have since received a couple more, which I’ll post in full here. So far my experience with Reader Views has been excellent, and I would highly recommend their very professional range of services for authors.

Facing Demons' first review!

Here is the first review of Facing Demons I received from a Reader Views reviewer, Avni Gupta. Understandably I was very happy with it, especially coming from a reader in my target audience. Have a read and let me know what you think!

When I received “Facing Demons,” I was quite excited to read it. I have always been pretty interested in reading about people who have had to go to rehab and the stories behind them. Normally, you just hear about them as a statistic, but behind every number and every statistic, there is a real person and a real story. Although the first three or four pages seemed a little preachy, in the “don’t do drugs” sense, as soon as I got past the first few pages, and really got into the book, I was hooked! I was not able to put this book down (technically speaking, I was not able to put my i-pod touch down, since I was I was reading the e-book version)!

This book begins with a prologue, in which Blake Solomon, the man who runs the Anchor Beach Rehab clinic, is in the hospital with a boy from the clinic who doesn’t seem like he’s going to make it. Blake seems rather distraught, and in his mind, is transported to a different time and place in that hospital. That hospital is the place where Blake was cured of his cancer! The rest of the book is devoted to telling the stories of four of the residents of the Anchor Beach Rehab clinic. It talks about their issues with drugs, alcohol, child prostitution, self harm, gangs and other issues that many teenagers have to deal with.

This book was absolutely amazing. I definitely read it twice before I started writing this review! With every page I read, and every detail into someone’s story, I became more and more hooked on this book. I feel like anybody who reads it will be in the same boat as I was!

One thing that I really liked about “Facing Demons” was the dedication that the author made at the beginning of it. This book is dedicated to “those who deserve a second chance.” I feel like that dedication was a perfect beginning to this book because all of the characters made a mistake and deserved the second chance that they were given.
