It’s an epic fantasy tale that will have you gripped from page 1. Even though the book is self published you can definitely compare the author to the likes of J K Rowling, Tolkien and Prachett – it really does have that much potential. The lead character is a girl but she must be the coolest lead character the team at Doodled Books has ever come across. So watch this space – we think this series is destined to be huge.

Each book in stock is signed, doodled, dated and numbered 1-10. There are 5 variants of doodle and 50 books in total of this rare doodled dragon collection. See the pictures for sample images – some colours may vary.

Review
…as fast and as intriguing as Rowling and as funny and as humorous as Pratchett… –Fuzion…a very, very impressive first novel. This WILL become one of this century’s greatest fantasy books… –Pharsyde PromotionsProduct Description
‘Who is Charlie Keeper?’ is a shockingly fast paced fantasy novel that tells the tale of Charlie, an iron-willed, twelve year old girl suffering an unjust and unhappy fate. Forced to flee her home in the gloomy, rain-drenched landscape of London by a bloodthirsty and terrifying new foe, she escapes to the vibrant, parallel land of Bellania with nothing more than her common sense and razor-sharp wits to keep her safe. Bellania, a land of myth, magic and marauding giants with bad attitude and poor anger management. With the fate of a world resting squarely upon her shoulders Charlie must learn about her destiny in order to defeat Bane, the Stoman Lord.And even with all the unspeakable betrayals, vicious enemies and terrible odds that are stacked against her, Charlie could probably succeed… …if only she could learn to keep her big mouth shut and her opinions to herself.

About the book
Forced to flee her home in the gloomy, rain-drenched landscape of London by a bloodthirsty and terrifying new foe, Charlie Keeper escapes to the vibrant, parallel land of Bellania with nothing more than her common sense and razor-sharp wits to keep her safe. Bellania, a land of myth, magic and marauding giants with bad attitude and poor anger management.

With the fate of a world resting squarely upon her shoulders Charlie must learn about her destiny in order to defeat Bane, the Stoman Lord.

And even with all the unspeakable betrayals, vicious enemies and terrible odds that are stacked against her, Charlie could probably succeed…if only she could learn to keep her big mouth shut and her opinions to herself.

Reviews
“…Sheer imagination alone does not make this a great book – but the author’s ability to write in such a far-reaching, provocative and enthralling manner does. Charlie is a fantastic heroine. Bellania is a wonderfully dense and mysterious place, and Alexander can give himself a pat on the back for a job magnificently well done. Better than Rowling…” The Truth About Books
“…One of the best books I have read this year…” Science Fiction & Fantasy Books
‘…exhales a well-aimed breath of fresh air into the stuffy, often male dominated format that has held the fantasy genre back for so many years. JK Rowling picked up the genre and took it into a wide new world with the phenomenon that was Harry Potter; books such as Who is Charlie Keeper? will keep the momentum going as fantasy literature becomes a form that can be read and enjoyed by both sexes, regardless of age…” Fantasy Book Review
“…OMG, this is a serious A-list book. Read it now or wait for it to get turned into a movie! I’ve only just turned the last page and I’m looking forward to the sequel!…” Latest Amazon Customer Reviews
“…big-hearted, open, pacy and exciting…” The Book Bag
“…Five out of five…” Mr Ripley’s Enchanted Books
“…the potential to turn this book into a movie is huge!…Addictive story…” Joey Ansah actor Bourne Ultimatum
“…Marcus Alexander has produced a feast of feasts…” Lewis Morley 60′s Icon & Christine Keeler Photographer
“…It gripped me, I loved how each chapter seemed to end on a cliffhanger and I had to turn the page…9.5 out of 10…” Sweet Book Delights

About the Author
After several incident-filled years of travelling the world Marcus Alexander decided to pack in all serious attempts at reaching maturity and instead embraced the much more suitable world of parchment scribbling for a living.

Marcus has a fondness for causing mischief, knows how to run really, really fast when he’s in trouble and knows how to duck out of sight when someone points the long, bony finger of blame.

After the Exhibition By Dolores Gordon-Smith Rare Signed & Stamped First Edition Book https://doodledbooks.com/product/after-the-exhibition-by-dolores-gordon-smith-rare-signed-stamped-first-edition-book/ https://doodledbooks.com/product/after-the-exhibition-by-dolores-gordon-smith-rare-signed-stamped-first-edition-book/#respond Wed, 02 Feb 2022 13:26:40 +0000 https://doodledbooks.com/?post_type=product&p=3064 Sometimes don’t you just wish you had the opportunity to buy a first edition first printing of an Agatha Christie book?

We are thrilled that author Dolores Gordon-Smith has exclusively created some special stamped books of her latest Jack Haldean murder mystery After the Exhibition. We think it’s only a matter of time before a major publisher takes the series on.

This is Dolores sixth book in the Jack Haldean Murder Mystery Series. Each rare book is signed, numbered, has a unique line of text and is stamped with the official Jack Haldean stamp.

About the book
When Mrs Paxton, related to the aristocratic Leigh family of Sussex, is found poisoned in her bedroom one morning, fingers point towards her artist nephew Terence Napier, seen leaving the house earlier that previous evening after a row over her will. Months later and Napier has never been found, but curiously a dead body is discovered in a train compartment, and scattered at the dead man’s feet are the famous Leigh sapphires – a necklace owned by Mrs Paxton, but destined to go back to the Leighs in the event of her death. Scotland Yard once again call upon the services of author Jack Haldean to help solve this most complicated of cases. Soon there are links to a serial thief and murderer, known as the The Vicar, and it seems there is more to this case than a family feud over inheritance.

Mad About the Boy By Dolores Gordon-Smith Numbered Doodled & Signed Rare First Edition Book https://doodledbooks.com/product/mad-about-the-boy-by-dolores-gordon-smith-numbered-doodled-signed-rare-first-edition-book/ https://doodledbooks.com/product/mad-about-the-boy-by-dolores-gordon-smith-numbered-doodled-signed-rare-first-edition-book/#respond Wed, 02 Feb 2022 13:21:19 +0000 https://doodledbooks.com/?post_type=product&p=3062 Sometimes don’t you just wish you had the opportunity to buy a  first edition first printing of an Agatha Christie book?

We are thrilled that new author Dolores Gordon-Smith has exclusively created a special doodled limited edition of her novel Mad About the Boy?.

Dolores is following in the footsteps of Catriona McPherson at Constable and Robinson who has just signed a £XXXXXXXX contract with Hodder and Stoughton. We think it’s only a matter of time before a major publisher takes the series on.

This is Dolores second book in the Jack Haldean Murder Mystery Series – approximately 1200 books make up the first print run.

There are 5 different varients of doodle:

  • A vintage car
  • A dancing couple
  • A glass or bottle of bubbly.
  • A fan
  • A hammer & sickle

The books are also numbered 1-50 and double signed by the author and cover artist Ken Leeder.

About the book

It’s the height of summer 1923 and Isabelle’s parents are celebrating their Silver Wedding with a ball at their country house, Hesperus, in Sussex. Isabelle has a problem: two men, the glamorous, earnest Malcolm and the quiet, troubled Arthur are in love with her, but worry is soon replaced by tragedy. One of the guests apparently commits suicide at the ball. Jack Haldean, the hero of “A Fete Worse Than Death”, thinks it’s murder, but everything is thrown into chaos when a group of Russian Revolutionaries become involved in the affair. In a case involving deception, greed, jealousy, kidnap, torture and more murder, Jack faces an agonizing choice on his journey to the truth – a journey which will change Isabelle’s life forever.

Arcadia Awakens By Kai Meyer Rare Doodled Signed First Edition Book https://doodledbooks.com/product/arcadia-awakens-by-kai-meyer-rare-doodled-signed-first-edition-book/ https://doodledbooks.com/product/arcadia-awakens-by-kai-meyer-rare-doodled-signed-first-edition-book/#respond Fri, 21 Jan 2022 11:28:17 +0000 https://doodledbooks.com/?post_type=product&p=2985 Now Doodled Books is proud to present the first in a stunning new trilogy, Arcadia Awakens by Kai Meyer. With millions of books sold worldwide, Kai Meyer is one of Germany’s most successful writers. He is the author of the Wave Runners and Flowing Queen series and is classed as “One of Germany’s most gifted storytellers.” This book oozes film potential and features a stunning front cover.

Arcadia Awakens is about a troubled girl meeting  mysterious boy. A boy and girl who are, in fact, members of opposing mafia clans, who are, in reality, the lost shape-shifters of old Arcadia. If there isn’t such a term as “high-concept-cluster” there should be. Romeo and Juliet meets Twilight by way of The Godfather. It seems like a lot to take in, but it makes sense, and, besides, Sicily is a location to die for!

Kai Meyer has exclusively signed and doodled books at his home in Germany.  And soon Arcadia Awakens will be followed by Arcadia Burns and Arcadia Falls.

Product Description
When troubled teenager Rosa escapes her life in New York to stay with family in Sicily, she stumbles into a sinister Mafia underworld of murder, corruption and bitter, generations-old rivalries. How is handsome, mysterious stranger Alessandro involved? And why is Rosa so powerfully drawn to him, even though she knows he spells danger for her and her family? Simmering at the heart of the conflict is an ancient myth surrounding the vanished empire of Arcadia and its people, who – in the tales of legend – could shapeshift into animal form. Can Rosa unravel the dark secrets of the past before untamed savagery is unleashed on the present?

About the Author
Kai Meyer was born in 1969. After studying film and theatre at university, he worked as a journalist before devoting himself to novels. He has since published over fifty titles, including numerous bestsellers, and is recognised as one of the best fantasy writers in Germany. His works have been adapted as films, comics and radio plays, and have been translated into 27 languages.
