ESSEX, U.K. (June 13, 2013) — Following a positive response from critics and readers alike, novelist Marvin Amazon has added to The Corin Chronicles with The Transformation of Adam Higgins, now available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book versions.
The Transformation of Adam Higgins follows a debut that reviewers have called “rich in detail and energized by martial clashes and chase scenes in more than one time period… a promising start to a fantasy series” (ForeWord) and “intriguing….Amazon conjures vivid descriptions throughout” (Kirkus Reviews). In Volume Two, Auphora and the gods of each planet have left the universe to rule itself, but ripples of change again threaten destruction. Two natural enemies try to do the right things but find themselves thrown together against a ruthless god, while a mysterious immortal pursues his own ends on a crumbling Earth. As readers have come to expect, Amazon’s descriptions of right and wrong blur, and heroes are sometimes hard to identify.
Although this is the second in an anticipated five-volume series, title character Adam Higgins was the genesis of Amazon’s writing. “My initial idea about a galaxy at war with itself centred around a young man who bonded with a demi-god,” says Amazon. “But in attempting to create the other worlds and the history, it grew and grew. There was a whole story to tell before I could get to Adam.”
Amazon’s novels bend genres and are particularly hard to categorize. Amazon is unapologetic. “The Corin Chronicles shifts style when necessary to tell its story. It’s mythic fiction, but some parts of the novel feel more like high fantasy and others like a modern disaster story. The readers don’t seem to mind.”
The author is available for interviews, book club appearances, speaking engagements, and/or guest articles on the subjects of fiction, writing, fantasy, and entertainment.
Corinthians Publishing is an independent press launched in 2012 and distributed to retailers via the Ingram Book Company.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
1. Tell us about Adam Higgins, the title character. Did you know from the beginning how his story would end up?
2. Did you have to read a lot about Greek gods to prepare for these books, or did you make up your own mythology?
3. How do you stay organized when you have so many characters and storylines (and planets!) to track?
4. What will surprise readers of The Corin Chronicles Volume One when they read this new story?
5. You’re currently writing several series at once. (The contemporary thriller series The Midnight Trilogy launched in late 2012, and you’ll have a dystopian science fiction novel out later this year.) How do you shift among all the different styles?
