Remy Dean Reads 'This' for World Book Day

This year, we are happy to present a recording of one of those readings for all to enjoy for World Book Day 2022. In the video below, Remy talks about his favourite book from his childhood and how it inspired him to become an author.

THIS (part two) by Remy Dean and Zel Cariad

OUT NOW

This spring, the epic Fantasy adventure continues...

Rietta and Carla have stepped into another realm and are lost in a wonderful world of natural beauty, magical wonder and very real peril. They find reluctant allies among the spirits of the great Greenwood, before setting out to find Dreamers Dell in the hope of fulfilling their promise to help the Fair Ones. Along the way, they meet a mechanician, with his amazing mechanical animals, and fall-in with a band of Elfyn warriors.

When they are introduced to a mysterious and sinister mumblebone, they soon realise that things are getting much more dangerous than they ever expected. Though, as the girls discover more of This extraordinary realm, they also discover that they, themselves, may be even more extraordinary.

THIS by Remy Dean with Zel Cariad

This Halloween, the epic Fantasy adventure begins...

The Red Sparrow Press presents: 

This

the new novel by Remy Dean with Zel Cariad

This, That and the Other
by Remy Dean with Zel  Cariad
book one : part one

This is the first in a new epic fairy-tale trilogy: This, That and the Other. 

For Children's Book Week: from Halloween, 31st October - 4th November,  This (part one) is available FREE as an exclusive amazon kindle edition.  (Parts two, three and four of This will follow on a quarterly schedule.)

NOTE: The FREE promotion has now ended but we are keeping the price low until This (part two) is published in the New Year...

They say, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you,” right? Well, of course that’s not really true. They also say, “Knowledge is power.” Well that’s not always true either… because, somewhere between not knowing and knowing, there lies imagination. That’s the key… the key that unlocks secrets.

It did, once upon a time, and it still does today…

It began a long time ago, but for Rietta, it really began when she met Carla, another very special and extraordinary person, and realised that they shared the same dreams.

Or perhaps it all started when Rietta and Carla found the severely injured dog in the woods, becoming firm friends as they tried to nurse it back to health and happiness.

Then there was the thing that they glimpsed watching them from the shadows, and the mystery of the missing standing-stone… but when they find the key to another realm, well, then things really start happening!

This That and the Other is imaginative fantasy, on an epic scale. The story follows the special friendship between two girls who embark on a magical adventure together, across the three realms. It is a modern fable inspired by Welsh fairy tales and folklore, in the tradition of The Neverending Story, The Box of Delights, The Chronicles of Narnia… and will appeal to a similar readership.
