Great idea! I don't see the link where people buy your book though (when you click on the title of your book, it only takes you to the excerpts).

Just finished Sinister which is a YA book, somewhere on the lines of Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl and Curveball which is a romance novel but with an amazing twist. Had fun with both.

I met authors, Lois Grieman, Michelle Hauf and Jerry Mevissen, and poet Kathryn Kysar yesterday at the Bloomington, MN Writer's Festival. It was such a delight! Plus, they graciously let me pick their brains about writing, publishing and branding. I can't thank them enough and just wanted to share the experience with other writers. If you have an opportunity to attend some of the local writing festivals and conferences in your area, please do. It was a wonderful experience!

Hi guys,

My names Matt. I just thought I'd drop a comment letting people know I am open for reviews. If you'd like to read and review my work please contact me directly and I will send you a copy of the book. Thanks.

Here is some information on my book.

Sket City

M. C Williams's writing is influenced by the widespread drug culture, socioeconomics and cultural diversity of his home city of Brighton, England. His work is self-described as the subgenre HowlerFicton, inspired by the popular style Gonzo Journalism, it focuses on the corruption of modern day society, fronted by mentally estranged youth protagonists. Written in third person, it is a style of writing without any claims to objectivity, which draws its power from a combination of real-life experience and self-satire, favouring a non-detached style therefore striving for a more personal approach. The genre’s tone engages in the harsher sides of reality; not limited to but including bloody violence, drug binging, mental issues and illnesses, alcoholism, rape, sexual abuse and addiction.

Snippet from the Book.

'Maybe as long as ten minutes passed . . . ten minutes of inconsequentialities, ten minutes of vulgarity, laughter, sneering and shame . . . during which Aggie had begun to have sex with one of the thugs, playing with him and him with her; and already, Cassie’s heart was pounding in her chest, her pulse was racing, her eyes fluttering and her teeth grinding. Her jaw tightened as frightening surges of energy seemed to fill her entire body; and suddenly, the sight of Aggie when she looked across at her, bent over on all fours with one of the thugs in her mouth, and the other taking her from behind, was all too much for her.'

Plot Outline.

The shocking story of a fight for survival against the odds, by a group of youngsters cast adrift in a town that could be any one of our inner cities today. Here could be your children's future, society's future - OUR future if we don't change before it's too late.

If you're concerned at all for the future of your children, you may find it shocking, not only because of the widespread, endemic use of hard drugs which is prevalent throughout the story; but it takes place in the beautiful, picturesque seaside resort of Brighton.And it is happening NOW throughout our country in almost all of our traditional market towns.

The book contains probably the best description of a 'bad trip' you will ever read – together with valuable information on the destructive effects of modern drugs, written by someone who has experienced them personally.

On another level, it is a terrific adventure story: a bunch of no-hope drug addicts up against the kind of thugs and hoodlums that already haunt most of our inner cities; and through a combination of street-wise intelligence, improvisation and effective use of whatever resources they can find at their disposal, winning all the odds. But at what price?

Another Snippet.

'Because, Duke loved his hard, shiny loved one far more than he loved any living person. It caressed rather than cut, was razor-sharp as any loved one should always be if she is to help you like she should. The reason for this thinking was simply that he had always believed a loving relationship should never be based on mere feelings of endearment – such a philosophy was misleading. Instead, love must be compounded of a total belief in your partner; and in having implicit trust that such belief will invariably bring with it, the direct assistance that one all too often needs through life. And in the awful, debilitating environment into which Duke had been pitched, not out of choice, and which he had come to recognise only reluctantly; he had come to recognise his knife for what it had become: the only assistance he could rely on implicitly every time. Hence, he had also come to call her, his One True Love: his partner, his lover and a constant companion who also provided him with relief in other ways than just defending him when he was threatened.'

Contact me if you are interested :) Thanks.

My Adult coloring book is now available on Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Adults-Gone-Wil...
This coloring book is designed
for the big kid in all of us.

Some pages are better suited for crayons, while the detail on other pages calls for colored pencils.

Each page features a wild animal, except one. As in nature some animals are easier to spot than others.

Take the time to explore your creative side and color in all the details.

Relax, experiment with shading and shadows, have fun.

sketches are based on.

What a wonderful opportunity. Thanks! I'm happy to talk about my new mystery, Magna cum Murder, up on Kindle. I guess the good news is that I'm learning to overcome my natural resistance to talking about myself (and keeping to myself - hermit! lol) and get the word out. Goodreads is so huge, it was a bit intimidating. E-books to the rescue! I downloaded Goodreads for Authors, by Michelle Campbell-Scott. She makes the process make sense for me. Trying to get a web site and blog going, write a sequel, write another book… ah well. Better to be too busy than not busy at all. : )

Hi, everyone! Thanks for this opportunity of being able to share some news!

Well, my book Thirty-Nine Days is available for FREE today in Amazon.com! So, you might want to check it out!

And here's the direct link for the book: http://amzn.to/1KR9rJP

Have a great day ahead! :)

Hi, I'm author Melanie P. Smith. I have not been active here for awhile because I've been hiding in my cave trying to get my latest novel ready for publication. I just wanted to stop by and announce that I also put out a quarterly eMagazine and wanted to make it available to all you authors out there. It is doing pretty well, I have released 3 issues so far with over 5000 viewers. It's a great FREE way to promote you work. If you have a new release coming out or just want to plug your latest book I am accepting submissions until August 1st. In addition, I accept ads for services that are book related (blogs, proofing services, beta readers, etc). Here is a link to my website where you can get submission requirements and preview the Spring issue. Connections eMagazine
