Eloise Dyson (eloisedyson) | 38 comments Hello!

I have written a book that's available for pre-order on Kindle and soon to be released as a paperback. Very few people have read it so far and I would like to extend the reach of potential readers. Even if you read just a chapter or so, for me to have some feedback outside of the people I know who have read it already, I would be eternally grateful! :)

It's a dystopian, set just over fifty years in the future in Britain. Told between four perspectives, it has a mix between a more primitive-style survival, and a futuristic-y thing. Here's the description:

"Surviving in a corrupt world fifteen years after the earthquake that destroyed the country, sixteen-year-old Arys lives in one of the tribes, always changing location due to the Hunters. Nobody knows where they came from or why they hunt the survivors, keeping everyone in the tribes in constant fear.

When Arys discovers that her twin sister, thought to be dead, also survived the destruction and is living amongst other survivors in a safe haven known as the Compound, Arys leaves her tribe to find her. Heading towards the Compound, Arys journeys with her best friend, Kai, not knowing how much her life will be thrown into a plot she knows nothing about."

A 40 page preview PDF can be downloaded here: www.mediafire.com/download/01z0cj78h9...

Or if you'd prefer to order the Kindle version: www.amazon.co.uk/Divided-Eloise-Dyson...

Thank you so much for helping me! :)

P.S. If anyone actually reads it all, I would love to hear your feedback on it! Feel free to contact me!

Eloise Dyson (eloisedyson) | 38 comments Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to have a look! :)


Charlie Dyson (charliedyson) As her brother, I do hold a very biased opinion, but I have to say that it is incredibly fantastic, to the point of the majority of other readers thinking that she had copied it word-for-word from another book!


message 5: by Ailish (new) - added it

Ailish Your welcome xx :)


message 6: by Ailish (new) - added it

Ailish Really?! Ok I'll defiantly check it out!! At least you said you were her brother, some people would just try to pass it off as someone's opinion!!

Fem loonieslibrary (loonieslibrary) | 56 comments Wow! You wrote it incredibly fast! I guess masterpieces or take a really long time or are created in an incredibly short time. I've been working on my book for more than a year now ^-^ (i'm so excited to read your book)


message 22: by Ailish (new) - added it

Ailish Eloise you must have been up day and night to get that many words down!!

Thanks Charlie!! X :)


Charlie Dyson (charliedyson) You can be notified when the paperback becomes available! (Different cover due to the Kindle cover's dimensions being too small and we couldn't update it!) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Divided-1-Ms-...

Eloise Dyson (eloisedyson) | 38 comments I wouldn't call it a masterpiece before you've read it, Fem! ;) Do you have any chapters of your book that are available for me to read? :)


message 27: by Fem (new) - rated it 5 stars

Fem loonieslibrary (loonieslibrary) | 56 comments Well to me every book is a masterpiece. I just think it's amazing how a person can take letters and words and make them into a story with characters and relationships and okay I just admire writers. So far I've been pretty afraid to let anyone read my story but it'd be great to have an opinion :)


message 28: by Eloise (new) - added it

Eloise Dyson (eloisedyson) | 38 comments Same! That's what inspired me to start writing in the first place :) If you're comfortable with it, then I'd love to!
