"The Shameless Promotion and Endless Plug-Your-Novel Thread"

[johnkoetsier]

Hello, my sci-fi action thriller is going to $0 at Amazon this weekend: October 4,5, and 6:
http://www.amazon.com/No-Other-Gods-ebook/dp/B00ECO7DNC

4.9 out of 5 stars with lots of reviews, and a really, really nice blurb from bestselling author David Brin:

"Non-stop action! An eternal champion battles his way across centuries, gradually learning to ask the question: Why?"

No Other Gods is a cosmic battle through time and space between a man and a god -- a god who seems human enough to envy. Human enough to desire what little the man possesses. And human enough to kill what he no longer requires.

Only too slowly, Geno learns that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. And that he too is not what he seems ... that the warrior with no past has history, had a life. While he learns what he once knew and becomes who he really is, he also discovers he has hopes and dreams for the future -- and for Livia, the woman he loves.

Too bad the gods have all the power. Too bad he is just a pawn in a cosmic game.

Too bad ... for the gods.

Watched (Pembrook High) a short tale set in the universe of my young adult novels, is now available.



Everyone expects Brianne Pratt to plan the scariest Halloween dance ever, but she's facing a few challenges. School authorities want to keep the theme too tame. Her folks don't like her college boyfriend who's coming back for the evening, and worst of all, someone's watching.

Someone's spying on Brianne, sneaking messages into her locker and placing strange phone calls that make it clear her secret admirer won't give up easily.

Even if she can navigate the treacherous waters of school politics and pull off a wild and exciting Halloween event, she's worried she could be the real focus of the horror on the big night.

Also includes sample chapters of the Pembrook High novel The Gift.

SUPERNATURAL THRILLER - FREE TODAY

Welcome to Raine's Landing, Mass, a place full of strange magic and held captive by an ancient curse.

It’s only early February, and the town should still be in the grip of winter. But the air has turned unseasonably warm and an unexpected thaw has come. And as the snows begin to melt back, bodies start to be discovered, murdered human corpses, each with strange ritual markings carved into their flesh.

At first another serial killer is suspected, but it is not that. The markings are satanic ones. Somebody inside the town is practising black magic of the foulest kind. Demons have been summoned, dark spells cast, doorways opened into deeper realms. And then the Landing’s adepts start to be attacked.

And with his sidekick, Cassie Mallory, unable to help him, ex-cop Ross Devries is facing the toughest and most brutal fight of his entire life. Because this time, he is battling the Hordes of Hell.

“Richards is a master at suspending disbelief and combining horror, fantasy and humor in a way that will mesmerize readers from cover to cover” – RT Book Reviews - sf/fantasy section.

“When it comes to fiction for me, characters are first and foremost the most important factor in drawing me into the story, and Mr. Richards’ characters are absolutely wonderful. The action is fast and furious, with plenty of witchcraft, magic, and supernatural beings. His writing is atmospheric and spooky, once you start you will find it hard to put down” – The Monster Librarian.

“The rest of us stand on the sidelines with eyes wide open at his audacity and wonder what he’ll do next” – Peter Tennant, Black Static magazine.

[DeadDrunk]

Best selling zombie novel.



Free October 18th to 20th


http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Drunk-Sur...qid=1382083482


Charlie Campbell was your average, balding, thirty-year-old alcoholic with a dead-end job and a penchant for shambling through life one mistake after another. However, none of that mattered following the sudden arrival of a mysterious sickness that brought with it infected mobs of zombie-like creatures thirsting for the flesh of the living.

Trapped in a Chicago apartment the morning after a raucous bachelor party, Charlie and his old fraternity buddies must battle for survival against the cannibalistic horde, a military invasion and their own rampant stupidity.

With supplies, common sense and brain cells dwindling by the hour, the motley crew — including a racist cop, a Sri Lankan used car salesman, a stoner landlord and a pet raccoon — must pull out all the stops to avoid joining the ranks of the dead.

If you like zombies, action and humor, crack a beer, pull up a barstool, and prepare for one wild ride.

THE PROPHET MOTIVE: A CULT THRILLER
77 stars (4.2 avg.) on Amazon USA

Red Adept Reviews Indie Award for Thrillers/Suspense 2011

San Francisco Homicide detective John Richetti spent part of his childhood living inside an infamous cult known as the People's Temple. As a boy he'd lost his parents to cult-instigated mass suicide. The memories come flooding back when he investigates the bizarre suicide of a former member of Earthbound, a New Age cult--and suspects murder instead. To uncover the truth he infiltrates the group, along with police psychologist Marilyn Michaelsen.

The new recruits find themselves pushed to their physical and mental limits by a series of sophisticated brainwashing techniques as well as by a cult leader, known only as The Wizard, who appears to possess psychic and paranormal powers. Even the psychologist's expert knowledge of cults can't explain The Wizard's feats, and it isn't long before John, like his parents before him, surrenders his independence to another . . .

Just to let you know that 'A Dead Man's Debt' (historical romance) has been re-edited, re-formatted and re-published with a lovely new cover!

Originally published by Solstice, the contract expired and I decided to take control and take the book forward as an Indie.
It has some lovely reviews - 7 x 5* reviews (out of 8) on Amazon UK

'The fascinating use of period detail means the book stands out within its genre'
'The descriptive style effortlessly captures the essence of each and every character'
'The characters immediately drew me into the story, feeling every emotion, every high and every low within this compelling roller-coaster of a novel.'
'This book threw out pretty much all of my preconceptions about historical romantic fiction. The plot, whilst predictable in it's final outcome, had substance and depth to it.'

The One You Feed

Like most kids who grew up in the small Oregon town of Silver Falls, Toby Hoffman had heard all the scary stories about the monsters living in the neighboring woods of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Now a teenager, he knows the stories are made up to keep the town’s children from wandering where they aren’t wanted.

Then his best friend, Nate, wakes up covered in blood in the reservation woods, with no recollection of whose blood it is or where it came from. When even more brutal attacks follow, Toby can’t help but wonder if one of the fables he was told as a child might be true. With the help of Rachel, a determined Native American girl who has moved off the reservation and into the house next door, he begins searching for an explanation for the recent carnage. He also develops feelings for his new neighbor, which are put to the test when he and Rachel discover that her uncle may be responsible for the emergence of a legendary monster that does in fact exist.

To make matters worse, there’s evidence that Nate was turned by the beast, and that he has every intention of holding onto his extraordinary new creature capabilities no matter the cost. In order to save Silver Falls from a true scary story, Toby will have to face off against forces he doesn’t fully understand – and his closest friend.

Something Wiccan

After saving his town from a pack of werewolves, Tobey Hoffman is recruited by a group of monster hunters to help confront creatures across the globe. His father and friends are cynical, and obviously concerned, but Tobey feels this line of work might be his true calling.

Natalie Sherwood, a teenage witch who is also just discovering her true calling, becomes Toby's first official mission after she begins practicing her powers too overtly, and erroneously, summoning beings who strive to kill her and steal her abilities. Joining forces with old friends and professional hunters, Toby strives to save Natalie from these evil Wiccan forces.

His adversaries include a wily warlock, a poltergeist manifestation that not even his new employers know how to defeat, and his own lingering self-doubt. It’s a lot to overcome, but Toby is determined not to let his first mission end in failure.

Karla Centon no longer is the newest student at Brantwood High. Since moving to Brantwood six months ago, her life had been going nowhere in the right direction until she meets Neil Allard, a handsome cheerful boy who wrestles his way into her heart. Karla takes an instant disliking to Neil because she thinks he’s not her type. However, what is her type? Is it tall skinny guys who wear baseball hats backwards and who happen to be bad boys or warm loveable funny guys who are more than just nice occasionally, like Neil?
Ashley likes Neil too, and her friend Maggie tries her best to keep Karla away from him. However, when Ashley starts making a big deal out of his wandering eyes, Neil doesn't like it. Karla is his friend, which is more than either of the other two girls can say. Karla begins to notice that Neil is actually rather incredible at heart. He may not have the body type she is attracted to, but his good-hearted nature attracts her instead. Finally, when Ashley throws one last tantrum at the dance over Karla, Neil has had enough. Who will really win Neil's heart?

Hello Dr Drib! Thank you for inviting me to shamelessly and endlessly self promote! I'm so fresh at this, I feel I can't yet call myself an author! Still, here goes! I joined the forum today because I have to let my little flimsy article bubble its way up from the darkest depths of unpromoted anonymity. I have to get people to talk about the concept of what I am doing - you see it's not just an article - well it is - but it is a series of articles and I have only written the first one.
Here it is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chronicles-A.../dp/B007ZBXQGW
It's a ridiculously ambitious project where I have to build a plane and write about the process of doing it. The thing is, the journey from complete homebuilt/aeronautical novice to accomplished pilot will be emotional, technical, opinionated, and generally aimed at well, anybody really!
To get to the next stage, I must crowd-fund with Kickstarter but before I do that I must build a Facebook/Twitter/YouTube army of followers! So if you could all do me a big favor and look into it, visit my website www.spitfire-variant.com , tweet about it, follow, subscribe and like, etc, etc, maybe, just maybe I can get this baby off the ground!
Thanks in advance to all you discerning dreamers out there!

Hey! New to the thread; shamelessly promoting my new Sci Fi Cyberpunk novel (first in a series) Silence In Numbers: File One.

[Edited for excessive length - MODERATOR]


WHAT DETERMINES THE VALUE OF A SECRET?
In 2068, the natural progression of the business world has come to its inevitable conclusion: the world has been privatized, from governments to security to militaries. The benefits of this are great, with the dissolution of national borders and the rapid advancement of cybernetics – but the true downside of giving total control to corporations has yet to be seen. Secrets, however, are the way of things, and there are things in the world that are kept secret for a reason...
Katsumi Samakura, an experienced and cybernetically-enhanced soldier, deals with these secrets on a daily basis as the leader of SIN Unit 1, a task force based in Tokyo that handles the most violent terrorist, paranormal and supernatural threats. Most days, the only thing that keeps her sane is her relationship with her sister, Ayane, whom she will protect at all costs. But there are worse ghosts than the incorporeal entities she usually deals with and a dangerous situation with a man who uses humans as living bombs gets worse when the one man Katsumi and Ayane hate most – their father – reappears in sadistic pursuit of an unknown goal. Things become even more perilous as a shadowy genius, known as Sigma, sets into motion a plan centered around a fallen angel that may lead to the end of all life – if the sisters can survive their father, the demons and a mysterious illness long enough to even see it…


REVIEWS
"The level of detail in this read is incredible. Author Jake Taylor paints a picture with words of a futuristic version of our world. The characters' interactions and personalities make them seem real and lovable. With a fast pace from beginning to end, this is definitely worth a read. You won't be disappointed. "

"It's 2068 and the world has changed---dramatically. But do we know all of the repercussions of those changes? Here, author Jake Taylor introduces savvy, highly detailed characters whose duty it is to deal with some of the not-so-pleasant effects of such an advanced society. Demons? Check. Danger? Check. Great details and gory descriptions that will have you cringing on your sofa in fear? Yep. A fast-paced, exciting read, this novel will keep you on your toes. Give it a try----and you'll be chomping for the next installment! And maybe even be a little afraid of it! "
