Hi Jason, thank you for sharing your books with us.

I downloaded them both and started skimming through Ancient Future - just to see if I would put it on my To Be Read list. Well, I kept reading until I was finished!

From your other post:

"...Ancient future, is a charming 8000 word story about the remarkable life of a 12 year old Maori boy."

I agree, it's a very charming story. Actually, Kevin's an 11 year old boy (but nearly 12! I feel strange correcting the author's blurb

). He meets his mother's relatives for the first time and becomes involved in his grandfather's past and the struggle against invaders in his country.

We have similar stories in Australia, but it was interesting to read this from the Maori perspective - you told the story with a uniquely NZ flavour.

I don't understand how 33 people could download your books before me and no one gave you karma or posted comments.

Now, I'm heading over to Smashwords to purchase both your books
