Being an Engineer I really do not read fiction,But I was looking around at Amazon and found the Book of Deacon for free. Well, I not only read thaat novel in two days, but purhased the rest of the series and read all three over the weekend.
I sincerely yyou hope to continue as I am waiting for your next novels.
Thanks
Hey, a fellow Engineer! Yes, I must say that, regardless of my intention when entering a bookstore, I tended to walk out with non-fiction, particularly during college. The balance has started to shift pretty sharply toward fiction these days, particularly since discovering Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I’m working on continuing these novels, but I’ve got a few thousand more words to go on my next Sci Fi novel first. Thanks for the comment!
I was looking through the free books on amazon and found The Book of Deacon. I quickly consumed this book and bought the next two. I went though the next two in a day each… They are wonderful! I since have gotten my mom and girlfriend to start reading them. Congrats you made it into my top 5 favorite books, and I have read thousands! Please continue with these charecters, I loved them!
The top five out of thousands! Wow! I’m really glad you like the books so much, and I hope that the others enjoy them, too. I’ll definitely give these characters another book or two, but it might be a little while. Until then, thanks for reading!
I also downloaded this book for free like the two fellows above me, however I got it from Barnes & Noble. I will be honest, when I first got began the book I thought it was a single title that would end up being little more than an afternoon distraction. How wrong I was. within the first hundred pages, I was very interested in your main character and the seemingly abstract back story. At times the plot and minor details became a little obscure, but the things that really stood out were your characters. I read many books, and you have made some of the most noteworthy and passionate characters I have seen in a long time. I often found myself sharing Myranda’s fondness (then confusion and rage) at Leo, as well as a sadness for Deacon near the end. I am quite glad this was not a stand alone book (even though I did not know that until the very end, good job with this book’s ending by the by), and am eagerly awaiting when I can buy the next two. Bravo, Mr. Lallo.
Hi! Thanks for the kind words. I was just winding down for the night when I got the notification of this comment. I’m glad you liked the book, and I’m proud that you think so highly of my characters. I’m pleased to say that the remainder of the trilogy is available right now on the Kindle, Nook, and elsewhere. If you decide to purchase them, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story! Thanks for reading.
Hi,
I very much enjoyed the book. There are still some minor grammatical or typing errors, but thankfully few (one such is waste instead of waist about 7/8 of the way through the book); at any rate, if you’d like, I will write a longer personal email with comments.
Job well done & thank you,
Debra
Hi! I’m glad you enjoyed the book. Thanks for the heads up on the error. You can certainly feel free to send me an email with more comments, if you like. Thanks for reading.
Hiya,
Book of Decon
Very quick note to say thank’s for providing my reading entertainment for the last couple of weeks, I downloaded the book from Amazon for free and therefore did not have great expectations; I was very pleasantly surprised to discover a great new writer and therefore great story.
I have even been reading the book at work during lunch on my iPhone, that was how much I wanted to devour the story, now I am going online to look for the next in the trilogy.
Thanks again
Stuart
Hi! I’m glad you enjoyed the book, and that I defied your expectations for a free book. Silly as it may sound, I don’t own a dedicated eReader, so I do most of my reading of my book and others on my phone, too. That’s one of the great things about eBooks, they are extremely flexible. Thanks for reading!
Greeting Master Wordsmith!
I must say that i stumbled upon a very interesting find perchance and grew so desperately engrossed in it that i forgot all time and space for the better part of 24hours, deprived myself of slumber twice until i had greedily devoured every last word of the first of the tale of Myranda… i daresay, i have read books…and then i have read BOOKS. rarely in the world of fiction does one find something as unique and startlingly real as the one you have forged. You have my admiration and respect. Being a writer myself (though sorely out of practice due to mundane necessities of life) i thought that you might better be able to make use of some intellectual property i had long since given up on. Please kindly view my website, as i’m sure you would appreciate that it took the better part of two years to complete – though it still remains unfinished. perhaps therein may lie a glimmer of something special, or even a glowing ember of something that once proved useful enough to revive…
Hi! Thanks for the praise. I’m glad you enjoyed the books. I’m going to reply in greater detail with an email, but that’s quite a site. It is a shame the activity has tapered off.
Thank you for writing such an amazing book series. They caught my eye when I was searching out new books for my new kindle, the book of decons cover caught my attention. I am glad to say it was one the best books I have read in a long time. I have now recommended your books to many other people, a few of my coworkers are reading it now and have said they too will recommend to many other people.
The first book was great, I just couldn’t stop reading it I realized after the first day that it was a book I just had to finish so I started reading every chance I could spare.
I just finished the second book and let me just say your do leave a great cliff hanger which has me wanting to finish the series today.
Can’t wait to see what is to come in the third book and hopefully many more stories from you in the future.
Veronica
Thank YOU for reading! That IS one eye catching cover, huh! It is the wallpaper on my phone right now. I appreciate the support, and thanks for spreading the word! I hope you enjoy the rest of the trilogy.

I bought the next two and the by product jade. I had sleepless nights , anger, suspense ,wonder , fear ,all of it ,Jade even produced tears, gonna get every book u write , thanks for giving this old lady a chance to get lost again
Thanks! I got the other comment, but always glad to get another. I really appreciate your kind words, and thanks for taking a chance on my books!
I have never been a big reader but I spent a lot if time in the airport last week and had time to kill so I found your book for kindle and gave it a try I am 34 years old have never had a book I could wait to read or put down for that matter and I’ve never read a whole book in one week until now. I am lookIng forward to reading the rest of the series this is new territory for me so I wanted to say thank you
Jamed
Hi James. Thanks! I’m really glad that you like the book, and that it helped you pass some otherwise dreary airport time. Hopefully you enjoy the rest. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Mr. Joseph, so to give you a picture of what kind of people makes up your audience; I’m an 18 year old student from Qc, Canada. I really admire your work, actually I’ve downloaded all the books off iTunes after the first hundred pages or so. Only thing I can say; I would honestly pay a lot more for this, heck, somebody should make a Book of Deacon comic book, I’m having some ideas about it (as so with a lot of other books), but I respect the authors and their work and never got my pencil to draw … Anyways, you should set up an online store and sell hard cover, paper versions of the Trilogy, I would gladly add thus selection to my shelf; I’m too young to have a library.
Hi! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed my books so much! You are actually the first person to suggest a comic book, which I have to admit would be really cool! Considering the amount of time and money it cost me to have art made, though, I have a feeling that something like that won’t happen unless a publisher or artist approaches me. If you’ve got some ideas for drawings based on the books, feel free to draw them. At the very least I’d gladly put them up on my artwork page. I appreciate your willingness to pay more for the series. I actually just finished a paperback copy just a few days ago, which is now available on Amazon.com. (I’ll add the link to the books page.) Paperbacks of the rest of the trilogy SHOULD be available by the end of the year. Hardcovers are still on the “maybe” list.
Thanks for reading!
Just to let you know that I have just finished The Battle of Verril and was again totally immersed in the story.
Keep up the good work!
I’m glad you liked it! Many thanks!
