Attic Whispers from the Blue Mountains [June 2024 Edition]
Greetings from my Attic!
What an incredible journey it’s been! I am thrilled to share that the launch of The Bone Scraper Legacy has not only been a success but has surpassed expectations! And all thanks to you, my dear friends. Your hundreds of pre-orders have propelled the book to the top of the charts, making it the #1 Hot New Release on Amazon within days of its launch on May 15, and your outstanding support has ensured that it stayed there at the top for quite some time.
For an author, there cannot be a bigger reward than that. It makes everything that goes into writing a book like that worthwhile. As you know, I read all the reviews as they are the best and most honest reflection of how my work is viewed and resonates with my readers. Your support and feedback have been invaluable in shaping the success of The Bone Scraper Legacy.
It is impossible to acknowledge all the excellent, well-crafted reviews posted on various platforms, but there’s one, in particular, I would like to share with you now because it encapsulates all the things a writer strives for:

“This book has a unique plot. I have read thousands of books. Never before have I encountered such a brilliant concept for a mystery. All of the series’ favorite characters are included in this book. I couldn’t put it down. You won’t be disappointed.”
Once again, thank you for your wonderful friendship and support. I have received dozens of emails from far and near talking about the book and its unique concept which makes sitting up here in my attic late at night writing replies exciting and rewarding. Because preparing a book for publication and guiding it through a complex launch process in a highly competitive market is exhausting, I like to take some time off after each book release and travel to renew the creative spirit.
Those of you who have been part of my writing journey for some time will remember that we’ve had book launches all over the world. Some locations like Rome, Istanbul, St Petersburg, Alaska and Vienna stand out as memorable destinations.
On this occasion, I have decided to stay closer to home, right here in the South Pacific, because this region is closely connected to the storyline and the characters featured in The Bone Scraper Legacy.
Intrigued? I hope so! You won’t be disappointed; promise. Why? Because you are coming with me, that’s why!
Very soon, we’ll leave the winter here in the Blue Mountains behind and embark on a South Seas adventure that will take us to Tahiti in French Polynesia. Our journey will begin in Papeete, and from there, we’ll travel to some exciting destinations like Bora Bora and Morea and explore these exotic islands and their fascinating culture.
But that’s just the beginning.
We will then travel through the Society Islands and the Tuamotus and Marquesas as far as Nuku Hiva and Tahuata.
Along the way, we’ll swim with giant stingrays and sharks, dive on coral reefs, and sail into the sunset in breathtakingly beautiful lagoons. If this sounds idyllic, it is! Exciting times ahead.
Come with me and enjoy the adventure. We’ll have a South Pacific book launch like no other. I will tell you all about it in our next newsletter.
Until then,
