Yes, that’s right. Musiville, the second book in the award-winning Niditales series, has now officially been released into the wild. Cue glorious music, angels singing, trumpets blaring, and all the other trappings of a book launch.
And, of course, gifts.
You have given me your thoughts on the cover. You have voted for me and my books. You have shared and commented. You have offered me your friendship and support. So, it’s only fair that, until the year’s end, I will post here the entire book for you to read and enjoy, as my small thank-you for your sheer awesomeness.
Please keep in mind that, come next year, only a limited part will be available. So, if anyone wishes to read it then, just let me know through the contact form or in the comments.
Synopsis
Let’s Face the Music and… Conduct!
A group of animals has evolved into musical instruments. Or is it the other way around? Whichever the case, they have now formed their own little village: Musiville. And bands. Lots and lots of bands. When everyone starts playing their own tune, buildings get torn down by an invader. Can Musiville be saved from this unexpected threat?
The book
Here is Musiville, in all its glory. I think you’ll agree that Dimitris Fousekis did a amazing job with the illustrations, and Alexios Saskalidis a great job with DTP. I hope you enjoy it!
Musiville is available on Amazon and CreateSpace. As always, if you’ve enjoyed my work, I’d be grateful if you could leave a review 🙂
Hi Nicholas. Congratulations! I downloaded Musiville and will read and review it after the holidays. I am having eye surgery on 12-17 and 12-23 and am taking a break from reading. Looking forward to reading it.
Aw you – thank you so much! I’m so sorry to hear about the health issues; I hope everything goes well with the operation!
Thanks, I’m sure it will.
Thanks, Nicholas. I am sure it will.
It looks beautiful Nick! I love childrens books that have drawings winding through the pages like that… truly magical! Actually, it reminds me very much of another beautiful book, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, although it is aimed at older children. Have you seen it? I reviewed it on my blog some time ago. Anyway, I wish you all the best with it.
Congratulations to you and Dimitris on producing another clever and entertaining children’s book. (And let’s not forget to congratulate Alex.) I’m absolutely charmed by the characters, the storyline, and the illustrations. The print book is now available on Amazon.com, but not on Amazon.ca. Can you provide the direct link to Musiville so I can purchase a copy on CreateSpace?
Sure – and thank you! That’s https://www.createspace.com/5899717
In a couple of days, it should be available on Amazon, too.
Thanks! Hopefully it’ll be available on amazon.ca soon.
It should! 🙂
Great! I’ll keep an eye out for it. It’s currently available in paperback at Amazon.co.uk as well.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, you! You always say the sweetest things – thanks 😀
A gazillion ‘bravos’ !!! 😀
Aw, you! It’s really all thanks to you people inspiring me, and to Dimitris & Alex 🙂
Yay! I’ll be ordering a print version (personalized, of course) from you soon.
Lol – deal! I’ve already ordered some copies, so let’s hope they get her before Christmas. Thank you!! 🙂
Congrats to you my friend. I shall read and review and order a print copy for my grand niece. 🙂
That is so kind of you; thank you!! 😀
Nicholas, just read it and loved it! I’ll buy the printed version when it comes out. Incredibly clever descriptions of the characters! Musiville will be on the bookshelf with all your other books. Congratulations! Chryssa
Yay! Thank you so much for that – I really appreciate it 🙂
Nicholas, sent you an e-mail. Check it when you have time. ?
Got it and answered. Thank you – your eagle eye is much appreciated 🙂
Hi Nick – that’s the perfect Xmas present for my great-niece! 😀 Will the print version be out in time for the 25th – pretty please?
Yay! Of course it will! It’s already available on Createspace, so I’m now waiting for Amazon to pick it up as well. It looks stunning, too – the illustrations bleed into the pages, so it’s amazing. Thank you!!

Thank you so much, D! 🙂
Congratulations, Nicholas. It looks amazing. Best of luck!
Thank you so much, Olga! 🙂
You and Dimitris between you have been exceeding clever! Hugely imaginative creation with politics, social justice,interpersonal rivalry, almost hidden. A moral tailephant! The very best wishes which are probably superfluocene. Congratucrackking.
He he – thank you 😀
Congrats my friend!!! Shared on FB and Twitter – wish you lots of sales this Xmas and beyond 🙂

Can’t wait for the print edition – be sure and let us know when it is available.
That is so kind of you; thank you, Pamela! 😀
This all came together wonderfully, Nicholas. I have shared on Twitter, and I will enjoy reading it in full later.
Any chance it will be produced in print? My little grandson is one year old today, and it would be a good one to see on his bookshelf. Good luck with it, you deserve it.
Best wishes as always, Pete.
Of course! The print edition is already available on CreateSpace, so it should be just a couple of days before it’s available on Amazon as well. I’ll be sure to let you know. Many thanks!! 🙂
Thanks, Nicholas, I will be buying one!
