Forging of a Knight Book Trailer

In the summer of 2012 Hugo V. Negron author of the upcoming series of the Forging of a Knight series contacted Fantasy Book Review for a review of the first book Forging of a Knight. When I first read the description I just knew that this was a book for me to read. And after finishing this book I was blown away with how the tale of young Qualtan was told and everything surrounding this debut book! Since then I have been recently in contact with Hugo and he has already told me that the second book in the series is now with his editor so lets hope for a spring release I have my fingers crossed, I am eagerly awaiting what Those that Stand in the Shadow will throw at our young Knight!! I enjoyed this book so much that is was one of my top favorite self published stories of 2012.

Here is the trailer:

I think I can now safely say that Lavie Tidhar is an author to watch out for, his stories will get you thinking and will scare you twice over. I have been thinking a lot of the current situation with always being connected on social media and the likes. It's unavoidable. One thing that is connected with all of this is of course your smartphone, yes no longer a cell...

Up until he retired that meant a lot of traveling around, generally a move every three years or so. I live with my wife and four wonderful (and demanding) children in East Sussex. Also three dogs, two of which will chew anything that stands still. I have had many strange and wonderful jobs, including packing soap in a soap factory, waitering in a french restaurant in Canada, playing double bass in a rock n roll band, and lecturing at Brighton University. I stepped out of university work due to my daughter’s disability, so now I split my time caring for her and working from home - I work with my wife rejuvenating vintage furniture, which means fixing, lifting, carrying, painting and generally doing what my wife tells me to do... And somehow during this time I started writing. I’ve always told my children stories at bed-time, and they pestered long and hard for me to ...
