Welcome!

And so 2009 draws to a close! For us it's been a fangtastic year because this was when we decided that one of our greatest loves is the books that we read ... just as one of our greatest hates is not being able to get the books we want. And so this year was the birth of Fangtastic Fiction!

We've learned about setting up accounts with Distributors, liaising with publishers, getting to know authors, designing the site .... and beyond that we've been able to firm up our thought of what makes for a good book to read and share that with you.

For all of you who have been with us from the start - thank you for your support and feedback. We've been blown away by how supportive so many authors and publishers have been and in return we're doing our best to read and review as many titles as we can (it's a tough job etc etc *grin*)

Looking ahead to 2010, we've got a number of specials to offer, giveaway competitions, author interviews, book signings and more and more reviews and recommendations.

So, roll on December and get ready for a New Year full of books to sink your teeth into!

Twitter:

Ye Gads! We've done it - we created ourselves a twitter account. Mainly so we can keep up with what our favourite authors are doing, but feel free to follow us following the authors! Come stalk with us at http://twitter.com/fangbooks - who knows, we might even start tweeting ourselves... bear with us while we catch up with the rest of the world and learn to use it!

Competions and Freebies

We decided that we would really like to run a monthly give-a-way competion - but we can't think of what you'd need to do in order to win a prize. So this months competion:

Best suggestion for a competition will win one copy of the sensation new release Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick.

Of course, christmas is coming up, so what the heck, until the end of the year (yes, until December 31st 2009) ALL orders placed will get a free 'mystery' book. Some of these may be new releases, some may be old favourites, and some may even be unavailable in Australia, it's all pot-luck!

Holiday Hours

Other than the public holidays we will be open right through the Christmas and New Year's break, however, there may be slight delays in receiving your order due to the overwhelmed postal service.

Spotlight on Favourite Authors

Keri Arthur

Keri Arthur is a Melbourne, Australia writer who writes urban paranormal books with tough capable women taking on the world. Keri is an amazingly talented writer and has written a diverse range of books which, while dealing with worlds of vampires, werewolves, magic, military conspiracies, psychics (okay, you get my drift!) all have in common excellent writing, intriguing plots and characters who will blow you away.

She also writes quite lusty main characters!  Think James Bond with a bra - just as tough, just as sexy, although they really can't be bothered with the suave and charming bit!.  Her Riley Jensen is one of the genre's leading characters.  She's tough,  she's highly sexed (particularly when the moon is full), but she is also conflicted about who she is and how others see her.  Riley Jensen has an emotional depth that makes a reader connect to her through the thriller ride she's on. 

It's easy to see why her books have received so many nominations and prizes including a nomination in the Best Contemporary Paranormal category of the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Awards, received a ‘perfect 10’ from Romance Reviews Today, as well as being nominated for Best Shapeshifter in PNR’s PEARL Awards.
