Robo-Runners

Over the past few weeks I've been busy visiting schools around Great Britain and busy writing new stories.... My publishers have bee busy too. I've recently discovered that Hatchette Children's Books are going to reprint all of The Robo-Runners Books - and are also going to publish them as e-books so that you can download them on your Kobo's, Kindle's and other e-readers....

To make this new publication even better, the lovely people at Hachette Children's Books are publishing the Robo-runners Books with nice new covers.

Here is the cover of the first book - The Tin Man....


What do you think???

 

Robo-Runners Clip

We've had a busy couple of weeks with one thing and another (painting and decorating at home, a trip to London, gas boiler breaking down) and yet again I've not had chance to write a blog post - despite promising fellow author Chris d'Lacey that I would write one on The Next Big Thing... Sorry Chris, I will get this done tomorrow (a week late). Chris d'Lacey is the author of lots of brilliant books - including the excellent (and best-selling) series, The Last Dragon Chronicles. To find out about the next Big Thing that Chris is working on you can visit his web diary by clicking HERE - it's exciting stuff. As well as visiting his website and reading his books, you can keep up to date with what Chris is doing on twitter @chrisdlacey

The Robo-Runners clip that was shown on BBC2 as part of Bringing Books To Life is now available on the internet and can be viewed by clicking HERE. I've been trying to embed it into my website but have been having a bit of trouble doing so.

Lots to write about in my diary so watch this space for photographs from our wedding, and photographs and news of our trip to London over the past weekend - and lots more... 

Book Reviews

When you sit at home writing a story you never know if anyone is going to like it so it's great when you find that people do. It's wonderful to receive an email or a letter from someone that has read one of your books themselves or from someone that has shared one of you books with someone else... it's also great when someone takes the time to write a reiew of a book.

I was delighted to discover that someone has read and enjoyed one of my Robo-runners books recently and has written a review of it for Amazon. Even more delighted that they enjoyed the book and gave it a five star rating. Woo Hoo !!!

Here's what they wrote - "The second great robot story by Damian Harvey does not disappoint. As the robots continue on their quest to find Robotika, Al, Crank and Torch come across some robots who race against each other; the mekanix and the engineerz. Quick paced and exhilarating, enjoyable from beginning to end. I reccommend this as I would all the robo - runners series. Great for young readers."
