  • Review / Promo Requests

    Like most authors, I’m delighted to spread the word about my work – and what better way than word of mouth.  Reviewers, who generously spend their time reading, comprehending and writing about strange, unusual tales play a crucial role in this.

    If you’re a reviewer I’d love to hear from you.  However I don’t want to waste your time, so before you contact me please read the various samples of my work – if they catch your interest send an email to cgayling [at] gmail [dot] com.  Please include some background information about yourself or the organization you represent, along with links to your web site, and yes – I request that information so that in turn you don’t waste mine :).

    I look forward to hearing from you, and don’t forget to touch base with me on Twitter.

  • Early Cover – Malmaxa I.

    An early cover of Malmaxa I – Beltamar’s War, featuring one of the most beautiful women I’m privileged to know – my favorite middle daughter, Dannielle.

    For a closer view of Daniskira, the Symbologist, click the image, you’ll be rewarded with rare radiance. The cover no longer exists in this form, seems  potential readers mistakenly thought Malmaxa advocates tattooing.  Though I have nothing against tattoos, that is far from truth…

    In obedience to a Divine Law, the Seizen adorn themselves with “marks of family“, tracing their lineage down their arms with each ancestors’ Symbol.

    I bear such marks, as I am certain we all do… Yet mine are not etched within my flesh, they are etched on my heart, and in my memory.  See more of Dannielle here, or read about her as she appears in my literal world, Malmaxa, here.

    The current cover of the first novel is here.
