\nFriday 21st October, 6pm!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s when the wonderful Susanne Gervay<\/a> will launch my joint alter ego, Z.F. Kingbolt at Berkelouw Books in Balgowlah<\/a>. See invite!<\/p>\n

I created the identity of Z.F. Kingbolt with a bunch of writer friends<\/a> specifically to engage readers between 8-14yrs and Into Tordon<\/em><\/a> is the result.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the popularity of Minecraft<\/a>, it’s the book that will get young gamers reading! It’s the book that will teach readers about acceptance, friendship and tolerance. It’s also a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

Here’s the blurb:<\/p>\n

Only champions dare to enter!<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Thirteen-year-old Beth has been waiting for weeks to play in the championship of her favourite online game, Tordon. Now tribes of beastmen roar through her speakers. Game on! <\/em><\/p>\n

She plays to win, until her gaming nemesis Zane challenges her to a real-life risk that has them sucked into a strange world. Here they must push their skills to the limit just to survive!<\/em><\/p>\n

Faced with riddles, a multitude of dangerous creatures, exotic cultures and scientific impossibilities, Beth and Zane must take on challenge after challenge if they\u2019re ever to return home.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"zena-shapter-zf-kingbolt-into-tordon-books-publishing-review\"Backed by wonderful publishers MidnightSun<\/a>, Into Tordon<\/em><\/a> is already getting a positive response. Featured in its magazine reviews, Books & Publishing<\/a> call it:<\/p>\n

A pacy exciting read that middle-grade readers will love getting sucked into.<\/em><\/p>\n

Z.F. Kingbolt has a website over here<\/a>, will have a SCBWI Book Blast page as from 10th October, and is already\u00a0available for pre-order at:<\/p>\n
