Legends of Windemere: Allure of the Gypsies

The epic adventures of Luke Callindor and Nyx continue after their journey down the L’Dandrin River in Legends of Windemere: Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.

Fraser Stoopman introduces the first ever Feed My Reads magazine:

“Welcome to the first ever Feed My Reads magazine and a massive thanks for
checking this out.

Firstly let me just explain a little about Feed My Reads for those who don’t as
yet know of us –
Feed My Reads was setup in July of 2013 in order to create a community
where authors, bloggers, illustrators, publishers, readers and more could all
come together and get to know each other better and keep up to date with all
that is going on in the book world.
Since we started Feed My Reads we have been able to bring great content and
to grow our family of accounts to ensure that we are in place to deliver even
better stuff for book lovers all around the world.

Why are we now looking to bring you a magazine?
At Feed My Reads we believe in doing things in a new way and also to make it
so we are inclusive rather than exclusive. As part of this way of thinking it is
important for us to remember that those who love books need to be able to
look over the news and information as and when they get a chance to and so a
magazine is a perfect way to deliver this for them. “

Enjoy the read, and see how to sign up for your future copies.
