Kim Harrison and Kaza Kingsley Are BranFans
May 11th, 2009 at 1:31 pm by --KALEB NATION--
The first blurbs for BRAN HAMBRIC: THE FARFIELD CURSE have finally arrived! Blurbs, for those not familiar with the book business, are those prized and coveted reviews from Very Important People, especially reviewers and famous authors, that a writer receives about his or her book. These usually appear on the back of the book jacket.
Being a writer who has had a seemingly endless supply of good luck and an eternally wonderful agent and publisher, my first blurbs come straight from the bestsellers: KIM HARRISON and KAZA KINGSLEY.
Kim Harrison, bestselling author of The Hollows Series (with Dead Witch Walking), co-contributor to Stephenie Meyer and others on Prom Nights From Hell, and whose upcoming book Once Dead, Twice Shy is currently in my reading pile of ARCs, wrote:
Innocence gives way to danger as Bran pieces together his deadly past before his legacy can rise up to kill him in turn. With characters both silly and serious, Kaleb Nation has crafted a world vastly different from our own where magic sits next to cell phones, and gnomes really do travel. Reminiscent of Harry Potter, Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse is everything a young adult read should be.
Kim Harrison
Author of Once Dead, Twice Shy
Kaza Kingsley, bestselling author of the Erec Rex series (with Erec Rex: The Dragon’s Eye) whose latest book Erec Rex: The Search For Truth comes out in a mere 49 days, wrote:
Whimsy, magic, and suspense collide together in this breathtaking tale. The Farfield Curse is a story you’ll want to pick up, but not put down!
Kaza Kingsley
Author of the Bestselling Erec Rex series
I couldn’t be happier with our first blurbs and reviews of the book! They will soon be up on the pre-orders page and on the Bran Hambric site as well. There will be many more of these to come before the release on 9-9-09 (and perhaps a few… surprise… blurb-ers in the next month or so 
). I’ll be posting them as they come in!
Also, funny how my first two blurbs came in from authors whose names also begin with the letter K. Coincidence? Or FATE.

(Stephenie Meyer's name starts with an “s,” too bad)
Will you do a blurb for my book in a couple years? This is a serious question, but I'll give you some time to think it over while I finish my book.
Does Bran Hambric's world have a map? A map in your book? Because I like maps.

Congratulations on such glowing reviews from established authors, Kaleb. Isn't Kaza Kingsly also your friend?
I cannot WAIT for 9-9-09. I'm as excited for the release of this book as I was for the Twilight movie. And that says something, believe me!

Well done Kaleb! They just make me want to pick up a copy and start reading. Of course I can't quite yet. Do you think Stephenie might one day write you a blurb or at least read BH? I mean, you've met her and she knows you so she might read it just for fun.
Have a great day/ night!
