Quest Audiobook Out Now

 



Yes, Quest is now an audiobook. 
It was one of the most expensive things I've ever done as an author. But it was hugely worthwhile. Very satisfying and extremely nerve-wracking at the same time...but it's all worth it now as with Benjamin Fife’s narration, the characters of  Quest come to life.*

Cheer for Princess Sylvalla as she escapes the confines of Avondale castle and discovers a world of fantasy, adventure and danger.

Follow Jonathan Goodfellow as he rejects a life of wizardry in search of his fortune—the fortune he lost when he lost his wagon and everything in it. Well, he didn’t lose the wagon, exactly, it was stolen. Stolen by Dothie, an evil wizard who has plans to get a fortune of his own.

Boo the evil wizard as he creates chaos wherever he goes, and then attempts to kidnap the princess Sylvalla—which is ironic because the princess is accidentally taking on a spot of kidnapping herself…

*The only problem is that you'll miss out on the footnotes. But if you’re not a footnote fan, that has to be a definite advantage of the audio book. :) 

Shortlisted for the Sir Julius Vogel award. To find out more about Quest click here

Or buy the series now—available wide, or see below for the Amazon preview... 

  

Thank you for reading,

Love fantasy? An invitation to my Book Launch Event Sept 22 2018

An invitation to come to my book launch of Quest. Quest is a real celebration of the fantasy genre, so I decided the launch should be as well. With heaps of fun for all ages.

If you're on Facebook you might like to sign up to the event, or you can just come along, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.

PS if the blurb is hard to read  in the image...it's repeated below

If you like Terry Pratchett, The Princess Bride or Diana Wynne Jones' The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, you'll love the latest book by A.J. Ponder:


Sylvalla escapes Avondale castle and the life of a princess, in search of the adventure she’s always wanted.

Once found, adventure bites back.

Fortunately, she is not alone. Unfortunately, her new-found companions are less than heroic. Jonathan would rather make money. Dirk would rather live a long and happy life. And at 150, old Capro would rather stop gallivanting, and harangue unsuspecting wizard students about his glory days over a nice cup of tea.

Quest has everything: heroes, monsters, chases, escapes and a complete lack of true love.  To see more follow this link to my author website. 

Pre order your copy today because it's a great read, and a lot of fun from Wizard's Guide to Wellington author, A.J. Ponder.
