Hey, everyone. After a bit of a hiatus, I’m going to be back with a vengeance:)

"Fabulous Fantasy Trilogy. . . one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. I enjoyed it very much, and stayed up almost all night to finish it. Couldn’t put it down! Do yourself a favor and read this book!"

Romance Lover via Amazon

In response to Sorcerer

"A Great Read. Very entertaining and enjoyable read, with a nice amount of intrigue, suspense and mystery. I love the characters and scenarios."

Justin B Wallace via Amazon

In response to Sorcerer

"I literally devoured this addictive story . . . McMahon has written an inspired creation of wondrous proportions, substance and scope that’s enviable of many fantasy writers (both contemporary and classic) . . . the perfect combination for an out-of-this-world read. I found myself reading just another chapter … and another chapter … I was hooked! I highly commend such a skilled author."

In response to Scytheman

"A Great Read. Very entertaining and enjoyable read, with a nice amount of intrigue, suspense and mystery. I love the characters and scenarios."

In response to Scytheman

"I love fantasy adventures, and the characters, world and plot in this one fulfilled all I hoped for. . . The sword and sorcery, which I love, is top notch. The characters are in-depth and believable. The main protagonists were very likable – I was rooting for them all the way – and the antagonist is multidimensional as well"

Tex Reader via Goodreads

In response to Scytheman

"A truly imaginative work with strong characters and believable societal laws and legends set in a well-drawn world."

Wendy O’Hanlon, The Noosa Journal

In response to The Jakirian Cycle

"Ellen’s father is dying . . . He names her ruler in his stead, the first of the surprises in Brisbane writer Chris McMahon’s debut novel, The Calvanni. . . Muddying the waters are the plots of numerous forces: the dark sorcerer Raziin, his cruel master Hukum and Cedrin the Calvanni, just for starters."

Jason Nahrung, The Courier Mail

In response to The Jakirian Cycle

"McMahon has written an extremely interesting novel here. . . The writing is engaging and the pace is at that perfect level. . . I found myself reading that 'extra' chapter after I had decided to finish my reading for the day."

Mark Deniz, Australian Specfic in focus

In response to The Jakirian Cycle

"Think Kill Bill meets Dune . . . McMahon offers a contemporary updating of a popular genre . . . Here’s something for the lover of swashbuckling heroes and sword play and toe curling tension."

In response to The Jakirian Cycle

". . . a cunningly written example of survival against odds of an inhuman scale, written against a masterfully-crafted space opera backdrop"
