Ooooh, fresh shameless authors! It's great to see everyone joining in the spirit of this thread!

I loved Boomerang and Xenolith and now on to Second Coming and Sentence of Marriage!

Exciting news (for me): I am featured as Suspense Magazine’s April 2010 New Author. Includes Q&A, book review and more.

Extract from the article's first page:

Quote:

“This month, Suspense Magazine came across a woman who is truly gifted. She may not have always seen herself as a writer, but her decision to give it a try is something for which I am definitely grateful. I recently had the chance to speak with New Zealand’s own Vicki Tyley, a woman I see gracing the bestseller table very soon.”

From the review:

Quote:

“Every once in awhile a reader comes across a book that takes over their life, captures their thoughts and forces them to contemplate nothing else but the characters and actions occurring upon a page. “Thin Blood”, the debut novel by Vicki Tyley is one of those incredible, thrilling reads. I came across this book almost by accident and I am so thankful for chance circumstance.

Discovering Ms. Tyley on www.goodreads.com, I looked at her website and took a quick glance at her book. The prologue was captivating; I couldn’t wait to read more. I turned the pages (online, because it’s an e-book) quicker than I have turned pages in quite some time.”

Not sure if this is the right place, but I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all those MR members who've supported me. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate it.

This is so great, Vicki, and it does deserve its own thread... This thread is just a load of rubbish...

Do post it in the 'Writer's Corner'..

The only reason I checked this thread, is because I saw your name as the last poster...

What a fantastic happy chance she found you.

Thanks for posting your exciting news here.

It's nice to see authors take the time to encourage and support each other along with just having fun promoting their work.

Thin Blood is up on the list. (Hum, I'm going from apocalyptic fiction to Historical fiction, set in New Zealand, to mystery/thriller - this should be interesting.

)

Vicki,

Well done and congratulations. I hope this results in many, many more readers for you.

And thanks for placing the news here. Just because it's shameless, doesn't mean it can't be true or significant. Promote your book wherever and whenever you can.

Best,
Alan
