Jennifer Fallon has pointed out that Harper Collins Australia website now has the”browse inside the book” facility. You can now take a peek inside each of the Mirage Maker titles here by clicking on the title of each book. Be warned though, the pages they offer you are not entirely consecutive – they are the first 3 pages of each chapter! Enough, I guess, for you to decide whether you will like the story. One thing for sure, there are a lot more pages there than you get with Amazon.
They have not done the same thing yet for the Isles of Glory, although you can read extracts of The Aware and The Tainted.
Having bought, read and enjoyed all three books, I don’t have to bother, but I thoroughly recommend that those who are not in that lucky position check this out.
I’m only about to buy ‘the tainted’ !! and it will arrived at the library within 3 weeks or so ‘snif’ If i keep on that rythm i might read ‘the heart of the mirage’ within december or something !
Our rule of thumb is fairly simple: open a book at a random page and read a paragraph or two … if you like that, then chances are you’ll probably enjoy the book.
So if Harper Collins can sell more of your books by offering a peek inside, then that’s great. 🙂
