Burton Mayers Books are pleased to announce that Making Trakz
and October's Son will be published internationally by the end of 2014.
October's Son is at the final stages of editing. Burton Mayers Books have been in contact with
the elusive author, John Michaelson, by Skype to clarify and refine the work
into a publishable novel. The book is
written in a diary style with references to people and places in London; there
will be photographs, links to the London Vampire website and much more. Readers will not be disappointed, although their perceptions of underground life in London and
their definition of what a vampire is in today's world will change.
Making Trakz is a prequel to the Spikez series of books
about an unlikely group of animal cyborgs, built by the British Military to
thwart global terrorism. The book
focuses on the creation of Trakz, a domestic mouse who is transformed into a
super-intelligent being by the eccentric Professor Windar. Copies of the 2nd Draft were given to Year 6
and 7 students at Ashlyns School in Hertfordshire to read; parents and a select
group of school librarians and academics also read the draft. The feedback was extremely positive, with
students commenting that they found the characters engaging, funny and
believable; the narrative was described as exciting and original with great
pace.
The final draft has now been approved and work has begun on
formatting for publication.
