Welcome to Kwaide.com!

... You can find me on Google+ if you want by clicking on the button to the left.

The characters from Valhai are back in trouble again - bright, funny, on the watch for backswampers - and always unforgettable!!

Six and Diva fence with each other - and seriously annoy the Elders of Kwaide ...
Grace finds out who is on her side - and who isn't ...
And even Arcan's megabrain can't predict how far the Sellites will go ...

Kwaide is the sequel to Valhai, which was a 2011 finalist in the prestigious Parsec Awards, and won a 2011 Readers Favorite award, together with the accolade "... Adolescent science fiction at its very best."

This is the website for the second book in The Ammonite Galaxy series, Kwaide. You can find details of the first book, Valhai at www.valhai.com and details about me, Gillian Andrews, at www.gillianandrews.com I am in the process of setting up a facebook profile - but it may take me a while!!

I am going to try to include a blog in this website - but will put it on a page of its own, I think. It would be great to hear from you on the blog, which is less a place to say what I think, and more a place to listen to what you think. At least, that is what I would like it to be.

Kwaide is currently available as a free audiobook at Podiobooks. You can find it in the Young Adult section, although it is written for young adults of any age. I wanted to bring it out first as an audiobook because the Podiobooks experience was so good with Valhai.

December 4th. Finally! You can now download the book as a Kindle ebook, from the Amazon Kindle stores. Yey! Waiting for the final proof of the paperback edition, but all being well, it should also be available sometime just before or just after Christmas.

I went into Podiobooks yesterday, and Valhai and Kwaide were numbers one and two on the top downloads list! So - (naturally) - I copied the list to reproduce it here:

Today's Top Subscriptions

This is the list of today's most popular books.

Isn't that great?? I know it will only last for a few hours, but now I can look at it here whenever I feel I need to be cheered up a bit!

***Update - it lasted one day :), but now Kwaide is in the number one spot:

Today's Top Subscriptions

This is the list of today's most popular books.

Strangely, Nathan Lowell has also disappeared overnight from the top ten - but of course in his case he will pop back in again very deservedly in a flash! I saw from his blog that he has had over 4 million downloads for his audiobooks! Shadowmagic also seems to be nearly always in the list too. Both Nathan Lowell and John Lenahan were fellow contenders with Valhai for the Parsec Awards 2011, together with Veronica Giguere and Scott Sigler. It was such an honour for me to get into the final. I still haven't got over the shock!

By the way, there is no contact button on this site (because there is a blog). If anybody needs to contact me, and doesn't want to use the blog page, please use the contact button on gillianandrews.com or on valhai.com. Thanks
