Over the last couple of years we’ve worked extensively with Travis Pike. For regular readers of South East Star, Travis Pike’s work will need no introduction. Travis has enjoyed a long and distinguished career that has spanned more than 50 years. An internationally acclaimed scholar, writer, storyteller, singer, songwriter and filmmaker, he has a well-deserved reputation for the quality of his work and over the years has won many admirers from across the world. We recognised Travis in 2019 with our E2 Media Lifetime Achievement Award which is one of a number of awards Travis has picked up over the years. In 2018 he also won a prestigious Global Entertainment Award. We are delighted to announce that Travis Pike’s acclaimed book Changeling’s Return has won our 2020 Award of Excellence. The book is a fascinating story about singer Morgen and the adventure he has after an accident leaves him in the isolated village of Morningstone where he has no contact with the outside world. A good novel is one that you don’t want to put down and Changeling’s Return certainly ticks the box in that respect. Travis is a wonderful storyteller and the imagination and creativity of his writing takes the reader on a supernatural musical journey. |

The criteria for our awards are far reaching and there are many aspects we take into account that influence our decisions. We have recognised Changeling’s Return with one of our awards for several reasons but primarily due to the fact that the book is a thoroughly entertaining read and a great story. Travis Pike’s background and long career have certainly played their part in the decision as have some of Travis’ previous works. We cannot recommend the book more emphatically and if music or reading is your thing then Changeling’s Return is a book you simply have to read. |
Dick Clarke E@ Media Managing Editor Wow this Novel had me gripped from start to finish. Changeling’s Return is a masterpiece of character driven fantasy. It is an exploration of music, mythology, magic and mysticism all rock and rolled into one. There is witty dialog. There’s magic! And, of course, twists and turns along the way. Couple all of this with a diverse cast of characters and you have a recipe for a magnificent fantasy novel. A truly a first-rate reading experience coupled with an outstanding music album. Will we see Changeling’s Return on the big screen? 5 STARS ***** |
