Candy Wars: The Tooth Fairies vs The Candy King - OUT NOW
My new book is now out and available on Kindle, iPad and shortly paperback.
Candy Wars: The Tooth Fairies vs The Candy King You may not like your sister, but are you really going to fight a war against her? James and Emily never get on - always fighting and arguing! But when James wakes up one night as his tooth is stolen by a jelly monster he follows it into a weird and wonderful world. Chocolate archers come out of the walls and fly in bubble gum balloons, giant rock candy trolls roam around, icing sugar snowmen appear and disappear, all under the direction of the Candy King who is preparing a war against the tooth fairies! Soon Emily and their cat Muffins find themselves joining the fairies, with only a toothless dragon and a phoenix with hay fever to help them fight the mighty Candy Army! Candy Wars is a fantasy novel for all ages. It examines themes of sibling rivalry, family and sacrifice, whilst immersing the reader in a world rich in imagination and chocolate! “The Candy King is waiting for you.” Download a free sample! |

Just received a great review on Amazon:
Thanks Big Al: It's been many years since I've read a kids book from start to finish. I'd purchased "Candy Wars" to read with my 7 year-old granddaughter. Her first visit we took turns reading. She managed her part without much help from this old geezer. By the time of her next visit she was on her own, I'd finished without her. At its heart this is the story of a fantasy land where tooth fairies live when not slipping a few bucks under your pillow. Yes, fairies, it's too much work for just one. When little brother James disappears his sister Emily manages to follow him into the land of the tooth fairies. The fantasy land R.G. Cordiner has created will spark a kid's imagination while Emily and James encounter a castle made of teeth, chocolate-arrow-shooting snowmen, a toothless dragon, and more. Buried inside the adventure are a few lessons they might not realize they've learned about the evils of war and importance of family. |

Don't forget to check out the Goodreads giveaway - expires on Thursday!!
Here is an excerpt from the start of the book: ‘PPTLING!’ You wouldn’t have heard the sound unless you were really listening for it … but if you turned your head the right way, and really, really listened carefully, you would have just been able to make it out over the deep breathing of the two children. Of course, you would have to have been awake and that would have been highly unlikely, because everyone knows that they only came when they are absolutely 110% sure that you are asleep. Being caught was not an option. Of course even if you had heard the sound, actually seeing one was even harder. They were very fast and very good at hiding. Put it this way, they wouldn’t be your first choice to play hide and seek with. Needless to say, the two children remained asleep, oblivious to the new arrival in the room. The creature watched them carefully, checking to see that they were truly asleep. She waited a little longer and then slowly unfurled her wings. Then, with a flutter, she was suddenly airborne. Her wings were beating fast, so fast that they made a high pitched whine that could easily be mistaken for a mosquito. As quick as a flash she was hovering over one of the beds. She paused, trying to work out the best way to attack. Last edited by R.G. Cordiner; 09-07-2010 at 05:36 AM. |
