Action/Adventure Aficionados discussion

Were all fans off action/adventure novels; if we weren't we wouldn't be in this group! What I want to know, purely because I'm curious, has anyone wrote, or currently writing, a novel? And, is your novel an action/adventure novel or does it fall into a different genre?

I've long been in the habit of writing short, high-quality fiction and disseminating it for free but am now switching to writing some quick action/thriller crap to make some filthy moola, yes. I don't expect to ever get a sale but I'm doing it anyway because it just feels more American to make every single aspect of my existence turn a dollar whenever possible.

I've written 3 novels in my Rail Black series and have a fourth in progress. I'm also in process on a YA action/adventure book and about halfway through another manuscript, both of which could become series of their own.

If you're interested you can find out more at my website.

I just checked it out, looks good might have pick a copy up :)

I released Guardian of Paradise this past October. It's action/adventure laced with heavy romance

I wrote The War Planners. I turned it into a 4-part serial. I published the first book in January and released all 4 together in May.

It's something I may look into in the future, once I'm older. How do you go about getting published? Is it as simple as sending your novel to a publisher?

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind. I don't have a story plot at the moment so it may be a long time before my name is on the front cover of a book ;)

I'd published an action/comedy/mystery back in April as an e-book called The Tea Party Affair. I'm kinda proud of it despite it being a minor novella written and developed over a three-week period. It was a fun experiment.

I'm writing two more stories at once: the third volume in my Final Apocalypse Saga series. I'm about halfway through it already. It's more of a straight-up dystopian/cyberpunk action series with plenty of cartoonishly bloody violence and over-the-top swearing to go around. I've been having a blast writing these so far. I can't wait to get this one finished. :)

I just published my fifth novel, "Iron", (actually two novellas bundled together) in the Park Skarda-April Force action adventure series (I call them adventure thrillers) and I'm working on a second edition of my first in the series "Emerald" (I found a couple of mistakes--hey, I'm only human!). I'm a big fan of action movies and books--fun, entertaining reads!

If money is your goal, you should probably search Cracked.com for articles on writing erotic fiction or http://lessonsinsmut.com/
The latter said he was making quite a good living writing short erotica for the Kindle market.

If I ever publish a book, it will be on horses & farms for fiction authors. They all seem to get their info from the TV & have no common sense. Goodkind has Zed riding in a robe (no underwear) for days on a borrowed saddle & horse with no problems at all. The horse was a perfect little car with hooves. Jordan has an archer stashing his bow under his horse's girth. Yuck! Too stupid.

Moved to Member Authors Section since that is the most germane folder for this discussion.
