    First I was sucked into a parallel dimension of magical creatures called Shadows. Next I met an insane dragon-parrot called Cirrus (yes, half-dragon, half-parrot) who could somehow see into my head.That’s when the crap really hit the fan. But Grif, you say sweetly, that’s all impossible. Yeah. I thought so too. But I’ve always had this lonely feeling, this itch in my mind which no amount of gaming could really fix. As if part of me was somewhere out there. Somehow I knew it was connected to the recurring nightmares of the night my Mum died. And of the monster who killed her.Now me and Cirrus, my dragon-parrot in crime, are racing to figure out what this connection between us really means... before it gets us captured by the Empire for ‘treatment,’ abandoning us to a seriously terrifying fate.Welcome to the Shadow world. Shadows is the first book in the Shadows series, a saga of unlikely friendship between a human and a fantastical creature, set against the backdrop of a darkly thrilling mystery. Start reading now with just one click. Interview with the Author Q: Is it true you started writing the Shadows Series when you were nine? A: It is! I think it was around that time that I started feeling the lonely feeling, that sensation of missing something, but I wasn’t quite sure what. So I started telling Shadows as bedtime stories to my godsister, and it grew from there. I wrote countless drafts in the back of the class at school, and when I was fourteen I tried to get it published. It took a wee bit longer than that for it to get out into the world, but it feels so good that it’s here now and people are reading it and each having their own unique experience of it. Q: If you had to compare Shadows to something, what would you compare it to? A: I hear people saying it reminds them slightly of Saturday morning cartoons, and it definitely carries that inspiration; I grew up with Beyblades, Pokémon and those sorts of anime on TV, and also those old movies on VHS like Dragon World, where the young human befriends a magical creature. Personally I think those comparisons exist because the soul-linked magical creature thing, what I like to call “monster buddy” fiction, is less of a genre these days- so I’m hoping that Shadows helps bring it back! I’d love more authors to be putting out books like that so I can read them. Q: So what other genres does Shadows fall into? A: It’s a young adult thriller, amongst good company like the Hunger Games, the Maze Runner and the Chaos Walking Trilogy. It’s definitely fantasy/science fiction, but it’s based in our own modern time. I see it as less a typical fantasy adventure quest, and more so a thriller where the characters are running for their lives, being hunted, trying to survive just long enough to unravel whatever the heck the conspiracy is they’ve gotten themselves caught up in. It’s emotional, thrilling, laugh-out-loud (I hope), and a lot of fun. Q: Be honest. Is Griffin Cameron based on you? A: No. He’s much shorter. Q: Anything else to add? A: Read Shadows for Cirrus, the Fruit-Loops loving, slightly unhinged dragon-parrot. See, you’ve got to read it now. Pick up your copy of this page turner today!
