The Gorgon's Gaze
The Gorgon's Gaze
The dark eyes of the gorgon blazed at Connie, beating down upon her with awesome power. Connie felt a burning coldness scorching her skin, entering her flesh and freezing her to the spot. Now the gorgon would begin the slow process of killing her, turning her pounding heart to stone...
Mallins Wood is under threat, and with it the home of the last remaining gorgon - a mythical creature that can kill with a look. Only a handful of people know that she still exists. Col and his mother are among them, and both are determined to save her, and the forest.
While Col tries to rally support amongst the locals, his mum is hatching a more deadly plan. Egged on by the evil shapeshifter Kullervo, she is ready to sacrifice Col’s best friend, Connie, to protect the gorgon. But first she needs Col to lure Connie to the gorgon’s lair...

I have read the first book, and am looking foward to getting the second on my Kindle!!!! THe book was SO breathtaking, I finished it in 1 day! I took the quiz 5 times, and I was a companion to Storm Bird, Pheonix, Water Sprite, Dragon and Banshee!! I wish I could actually be a real Companion, and the actual Orpheus Training Program!

I LOVE the Compainions Quartet!!! <3 (It's supposed to be a heart. ;)) I really wish there were movies though. I bet they would be AWESOME too!(But not as good as the books!) How do you come up with these plots and names?! Your one of the best author I've EVER heard of.
I've written about inspirations on my FAQ page - take a look under 'Ask".

someone posted something about a companion test, and I was wondering if it was online, made up, or in one of your books.
It is a microsite of my publisher - a bit of fun started in 2006. See FAQs for detail about the club part.

I got the book this morning, and I've finished it already! It was very good, and I'm looking forward to book 3!

Don't you think the campanion's qaurtet series will be a great movie series? (if it could be filmed) What do you think?
Would be fabulous - a bit of a dream of mine!

One of my favourite books! What gave you the idea for the Gorgon?
Seemed to me that there was more to be made of Medusa than as the monster Perseus killed.

I think I agree with Mariah i hope you will write more books after the chimeras curse it would be wicked if you did you are my best author I used to like Roald Dahl and Cliff Mcnish until I read your books they were brilliant.if you was to do another book on the companions quartet after the Chimeras curse would Connie die or survive?
I don't think I'd like the idea of killing off my main character!
