Paw Books is my own company. It's aim is to print, promote and encourage traditional

Publishing Magazine, April 09 My first glance at the cover
told me that I was not in this book's target audiance. I didn't hold out much
hope of an enjoyable read. I was wrong. This a well written, well paced book and
I was soon caugth up in its characters and plot. The author's excellent ear for
dialogue brings her characters to life. Good value and a good read. Chicklish
- ,April 2009 This book was great. It was different, mysterious and
cunning; it showed the ups and downs of fame...Towards the end it became a real
page-turner, finding out about the saboteur.... read

Performer, Mar/April edition 2009 A substantial and thought-provoking
novel for readers aged 12+, Natural Talent is a mystery set in the film-making
industry. It focuses on the experiences of the teenage cast:
.but also tackling
important themes of ambition, parenting, dyslexia, gender, teenage love, and associated
ethical choices. Never overtly moralistic, it still leads the reader to think
hard
a, sympathetic insight into teenage situations and characters,
and the technical interest in film-making
this is a novel that effectively
pushes boundaries and offers real value. Geoff Daniels,
Christian Writers' Magazine, Jan 09 This is by far the best self-published
book that I've read all year. In fact, it hardly reads like one at all and I had
to check several times that it was actually self-published because I found it
hard to believe. The storyline is engaging, the dialogue is realistic, and the
characters are endearing, What more can I ask for. It combines mystery, love,
stardom, and suspense in a very entertaining package and deals with a few challenging
teenage issues in a competent way.. It's corny, but Ms. White definitely has some
"natural talent" of her own.
