How about a swap carmen? YvonneThe First Madonna

I'm looking for reviews of my two novels, Copernican Journey and Questing for Dragons. Both can be downloaded for free on iTunes.com and Smashwords.com. Just type in the title and the ebook will be downloaded.

Another bit of information: on July 5, the Chicago Tribune will do a personal bio on me and my writing. I found this out yesterday afternoon. I had been interviewed back in March. No idea where it will lead.

It appears that a smaller local paper is interested in the Trib bio about me. I'm rather curious about how much a newspaper helps a writer market his books. I guess I'll find out shortly.

A second point: I think reviewers should insist on seeing an ebook's cover. It is the first thing potential readers see as they brows for books, after all. It's the most important selling tool an author has. It's the main reason why I want those downloading my books to download the free copies on Smashwords and iTunes. If readers think the cover sucks, it will be changed.

Hello, everyone. I'm new to this forum. Anyone interested in swapping reviews. I've written a mystery/thriller, Dig Two Graves: Revenge or Honor. Set in WWII and modern day Italy and Greece it has bits of the Holocaust, stolen ransom, greedy lawyers, diabolical Nazis and a message that redemption is possible for those who look for it.
Those interested in this genre please contact me. Free copies available. Thanks

FIRSTBORN (Book 1 of The MaCall Prophecy Trilogy) is free July 7 - 9!

(I welcome honest feedback and reviews.)


Jac MaCall left her father's security consulting firm to run her own shop, selling crystals for healing and meditation. When she's asked to fill in for her sister on a consultation, she meets the irresistibly uptight Dr. Will Archer and receives a vision that warns of a threat upon his life. And while her premonitions help her keep him alive, even she cannot foresee that their passion for each other will endanger them both.

Hello! I'm interested in a review or to swap a review. Here is my Goodreads site to learn more about Wickedly They Come which is a Paranormal Thriller.Wickedly They Come If interested please contact me. Thank You!

Let me know if you would like to review my new literary novel:

My new novel "The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is now available on Amazon via Kindle Direct as a KDP Selection - www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DUI8Y

Frank Flutie is a lexicographer who has waged war on the "perils of adultolescence" by leaving a high-paying job as a copywriter for an advertising company called The Banker and taking a low-paying job in a bookstore instead, ostensibly so he can write the first ever all sexual dictionary.

The "war" (and his dictionary), however, aren't going particularly well and, under the stress of his "self-imposed exile" from affluence, Frank has become petty and fatalistic -- "a shit hoarder whose dictionary would be better utilized as a flyswatter, a doorstop, or a paperweight".

Always broke, but too proud to accept charity, he rarely sees his few friends and cannot get the virginal Marlene in bed because (or so he believes), "If you got no dough, no woman will love you."

On the mantle in Frank's shabby apartment is a sickly but unkillable pet sea lamprey -- a jawless fish he abhors as the banner of the sort of "clockwork universe" he is fleeing from in his downward spiral.

In the course of his misadventures, we become grindingly aware that his radical solution to the problem of the money-world is no solution at all -- that in his desperate reaction against a monstrous system, he has become something of a monster himself.

"The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is a behemoth valentine to Boston and a gritty, sprawling, depiction of today's recession-inflicted state of affairs.

Hiya!

I would love to have someone review my fantasy novel Ashborne: The First Chronicle. In a town where magic is condemned, one family is torn apart. Joelle, on the run, must venture deep into the Burnt Mountains and unveil the lies that surround her, while her husband, Sarco, rescues his sister from death.

If you're more of a Science Fiction fan, maybe I can entice you to review Orbital Extraction. This short story about loyalty, choices and sacrifice takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. When a scientific extraction goes bad, Mariska's partner leaves her behind. Bleeding out, facing certain death, she's rescued only to discover her salvation comes with a catch.

Contact me for a copy and I'll get you set up.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy them.

A Universe On the Edge
RARITY FROM THE HOLLOW. Robert Eggleton. Fatcat Press. eBook Published 2014.

Image courtesy of the author.
Lacy Dawn is a little girl who lives in a magical forest where all the trees love her and she has a space alien friend who adores her and wants to make her queen of the universe. What’s more, all the boys admire her for her beauty and brains. Mommy is very beautiful and Daddy is very smart, and Daddy’s boss loves them all.
Except.
Lacy Dawn, the eleven year old protagonist, perches precariously between the psychosis of childhood and the multiple neuroses of adolescence, buffeted by powerful gusts of budding sexuality and infused with a yearning to escape the grim and brutal life of a rural Appalachian existence. In this world, Daddy is a drunk with severe PTSD, and Mommy is an insecure wraith. The boss is a dodgy lecher, not above leering at the flat chest of an eleven-year-old girl.
Yes, all in one book.
Rarity From The Hollow is written in a simple declarative style that’s well- suited to the imaginary diary of a desperate but intelligent eleven-year-old – the story bumping joyfully between the extraordinary and the banal.
The central planet of the universe is a vast shopping mall, and Lacy Dawn must save her world from a menace that arrives in the form of a cockroach infestation. Look again and the space alien has made Daddy smart and happy – or at least an eleven year old girl’s notion of what a smart and happy man should be. He has also made Mommy beautiful, giving her false teeth and getting the food stamp lady off her back.
About the only thing in the book that is believable is the nature of the narrative voice, and it is utterly compelling. You find yourself convinced that “Hollow” was written as a diary-based autobiography by a young girl, and the banal stems from the limits of her environment, the extraordinary from her megalomania. And that’s what gives Rarity From The Hollow a chilling, engaging verisimilitude that deftly feeds on both the utter absurdity of the characters’ motivations and on the progression of the plot.
Indeed, there are moments of utter darkness: In one sequence, Lacy Dawn remarks matter-of-factly that a classmate was whipped to death, and notes that the assailant, the girl’s father, had to change his underpants afterward because they were soiled with semen. Odd, and often chilling notes, abound.
As I was reading it, I remembered when I first read Vonnegut’s “Cat’s Cradle” at the age of 14. A veteran of Swift, Heller, and Frederick Brown, I understood absurdist humour in satire, but Vonnegut took that understanding and turned it on its ear.
In the spirit of Vonnegut, Eggleton (a psychotherapist focused on the adolescent patient) takes the genre and gives it another quarter turn. A lot of people hated Vonnegut, saying he didn’t know the rules of good writing. But that wasn’t true. Vonnegut knew the rules quite well, he just chose to ignore them, and that is what is happening in Eggleton’s novel, as well.
Not everyone will like Rarity From The Hollow. Nonetheless, it should not be ignored.

Hi everyone, my name is Hammad Rind and I'm the author of the debut novel Four Dervishes (https://www.amazon.com/Four-Dervishes...). I have a Kindle version of my book and can send it to you, if you would like to review it.

Synopsis

'Set in the near East, Four Dervishes is a journey to understanding through layers of storytelling. Dark family secrets are laid bare, crimes committed, unknown links between a father and a son revealed, and the cycle—the circularity—of life is confirmed. All because a power failure forces the narrator to confront his present circumstances.'
