Currently I am searching for a good publisher for The Curse of the Tahiéra.
Meanwhile, here are some reactions of people who have read the manuscript:

REACTIONS


‘I think it's a beautiful story: the storylines, the characters, and above all how the story is carried by a deep spiritual vision. The workings of karma, love, compassion...it’s a ‘tale of healing’. There is so much warmth and wisdom in the book! Roms journey through the Underworld is a brilliant combination of humor and spiritual depth.’
Pamela Kribbe

‘I thought it was a very beautiful, and an exciting read. One of those stories that keeps you reading. I have read a lot of fantasy novels, and the thing that lifts it up above many others I have read is the spiritual depth. I especially like the way you handle the theme of the nature of evil. Step by step everything becomes clear. 
What I also like is the way the story logically arises from the characters and their inner issues. As if you have put the characters together and let everything happen: inner tensions evoke outer conflicts that in turn, lead to inner developments. That makes the story very natural, everything has its place.’
Gerrit Gielen

I think it's a wonderful story. The thing that really speaks to me is the view in the book that there is no 'good' or 'evil', but that both have their place. So instead of fighting 'evil', the important thing is to understand it, which is when you see that 'evil' doesn't really exist. For me personally this was a huge eye opener and the book has had a great impact on me because of it.
Besides that, I think the writing style is very nice, with lots of (British!) humour. The protagonists gain in depth as the story progresses, so you gradually get to understand them and the choices they make. In the beginning the detailed writing needed a little getting used to (what was the bunny wearing ;-), but after a few pages this faded away completely. 
In short, I'm looking out for the sequel!
