Kylie signs with Angry Robot
By
Oh, come now – surely you didn’t think… It’s Kylie Chan, people! Dear me…
According to As If magazine, Kylie’s Dark Heavens trilogy is “packed with Chinese mythology, kick-ass action and sexual tension”.
Already a major success Down Under through HarperCollins’ Voyager imprint (book one is currently on its ninth printing!), the trilogy has proven a hit with fans and critics alike. Published worldwide by Angry Robot from April 2010, the trilogy is a must-have for all fans of urban fantasy, and there’s not a misunderstood vampire in sight, thank god!
The Dark Heavens Trilogy
Handsome young Hong Kong businessman John Chen employs Emma, a naïve young nanny, to care for his daughter. When she falls in love with her employer, however, Emma discovers he is not quite what he seems – he is being hunted by a whole horde ancient demons, dragons and gods, and they all want him dead. Emma will soon discover it is she who has the power to save them all…

It’s a little early to comment on that – we need to ensure we get the first three out and into the hands of the many thousands of readers who will love them – so I’ll just settle for giving a great big wink at this point.

I visited a friend in Australia, bought Book 1 and read it in 2 days.
The next day she was starting moving to another house and needed me out of the way, so I went to the mall and bought book 2 and 3. I finished them on a weekend.
If you start you cannot stop reading.
I read the books so often know, that they are falling apart.
I even visited Hong Kong this year with a german friend, who also read the books, and we loved this too.
So everyone out there buy these books, you will not regret it.
