As a new member I feel very tentative. However, I'll take a shot. I've been working on a historical fiction series for a few years and have four novels completed and available through Smashwords.com. The series builds around the first four years of WW 2 during which the Americans began stealing the British Empire, but not yet the history of the period.

Russell Stonechild, a young Cree from Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, is the main character. With a fur trapping, trading background and a flair for languages Russell answers a recruiter's ad for a private Scots regiment just before Hitler attacks Poland and Britain declares war. Four titles are available.

Stonechild Volunteersis free. [I]Stonechild and the Minotaur Maze[I] as well as Stonechild's Enigma occur just before and during the Nazi blitzkrieg. Stonechild and the Emperor pictures the defeat of the Italians in Ethiopia and the return of Haile Selassie to the emperor's throne.

Go to Smashwords and search for Jim Burk and you will find the Stonechild novels and a new hero in Russell Stonechild.

A brazen mercenary believes he can learn magic from an exiled warlock. Not content with taking along experienced help, he enlists Zhy, the town drunk, to escort him on his journey.

However, the pair is soon saddled with an aloof and peculiar companion, and the three find themselves fighting demons, elite assassins, the elements, and each other. An idiot man-child follows, guided by Zhy’s dead father, who hopes he can keep Zhy away from the threshold of Hell. Sadly, each man is only a pawn in a wicked scheme.

The Halo Revelations - SciFi/Thriller

$3.99 4.6 Stars

What if everything we think we know about Man's past is wrong?

Has the government mounted a campaign of disinformation against UFOs? What if ancient alien theories are true?

Booksquawk Reviews:

"The Halo Revelations is an intellectual thriller that blends fact and fiction on a grander scale than the works of Dan Brown...
One of the central themes - that of history itself having been manipulated by the powers-that-be in any given timeframe - is convincing."

Hi folks.

If I may please take a moment of your time with the dreaded blatant self-promotion, my new espionage novel 'COAST: An Act Of Burial' comes out on Monday. (Presuming that the various retailers get their collective act together in time. )

Here's a bit of 'blurb':

"Two thermonuclear warheads are hijacked in the Persian Gulf leading to an urgent and highly secret investigation by the Covert Operations And Surveillance Team. However, members of this super-secret unit start being murdered by unknown assailants. What will it take for Ian McKinley and his colleagues Carter and Brook to outwit the mysterious adversary that always seems to be one step ahead, retrieve the nukes and prevent a crisis of apocalyptic proportions?"

If you're interested, then please would you check out my website www.xanderrichards.com. We'll be posting links to the retailers as they go live. On the other hand, if any Mobileread.com member would like a free copy in exchange for a review, please contact me. I'm not looking for glowing reviews; I want honest ones. If any review is both I will be both extremely pleased and very grateful indeed.

The novel is also on the Goodreads forum if you want to check it out there.

Thanks for reading my post, and thanks to the organizers of Mobile Read for allowing the opportunity for new novelists like me to promote their work here. I hope to heck I'm not contravening any forum guidelines.

Cheers,
Xander.

If you like the work of Carl Hiassen, Donald E. Westlake, Douglas Adams or Evelyn Waugh, those are some of the authors Amazon readers have compared Boomerang to.

Ted Hogwood's beloved Sarah, a jazz guitar, is in the window of Topp Dollar Pawn. The only way he can get the money to rescue her is to accept an assignment from the AABC, a not nearly official branch of the United States intelligence community. He is partnered with Jerry Kwiatkowski, master of the Hammond B-3 organ and chronic flatulence sufferer, to steal a boomerang containing secrets that should have died with J. Edgar Hoover over thirty years ago. It would be a simple job if only they knew what they were doing. And if a crossbow wielding assassin, two unemployed Australian women, The Director of Central Intelligence and a clothing optional former onion festival queen were not also hot on the boomerang's trail.

Just $2.99


And you are an Amazon Prime member, you can borrow Boomerang for free!

ELIZABETH’S SECRETS is half price from Kindle for Mother’s Day to remember my mother. Monday May 7th, through Sunday May 13th.
A STORY OF LOSS, GREED, AND BETRAYAL

“I was 43 when the love of my life died at my hand.” Elizabeth McKenna’s first journal entry begins an amazing story of her descent into despair and a long arduous trek back to the world of the emotionally balanced.

Devastated by the death of her true love, haunted by a family curse, and pursued by a misogynistic ex-husband, Elizabeth crosses the American continent alone in an antique monoplane searching for answers. Through the kindness of strangers, she finds many of the answers she seeks. Finally, forced to confront her past, she reveals her most guarded secret and comes face-to-face with her demons, real and imagined. From desperation, she learns the true meaning of friendship, strength, and redemption.

Elizabeth’s Secrets is a soulful, heart-wrenching tale of good versus evil, a magical story teeming with self-realization and determination. Within Bette McKenna’s words, we feel every beat of her resolute heart. Through hopeful blue eyes, we envision a brilliant world of spirituality, compassion, and breathtaking beauty.

Dark Star is free from Kindle Wednesday and Thursday, May 9 & 10, 2012.
“Dear God,” down on his knees, James David Deacon Jones prayed in a loud, clear voice to the eerie, black Missouri sky. “Please forgive me my sins and for the life I have led. Lord, if you cannot absolve me, please take from me this wretched existence.” So begins the story of Deacon Jones, a sensitive tortured genius. His was always a journey of hope defeated by disappointment, good intentions overcome by darkness, and friendship ruined by mistrust. Finally, at twenty-eight years of age he meets Estrella Star del Rio and instantly believes that she is the cure for all that is wrong in his life. Deacon thinks he has found true happiness, and then the real horror begins.

Dark Star is a masterful tale of star-crossed or star-cursed lovers, a story brimming with hope, despair, suspense, and deceit.

Join Colin, Cougar, Hannibal Vector, Generals Rock, Jock and Strap and all the others in their rollicking adventures. You'll never look at a packet of crisps in the same way again! Fun, quirky and totally original.

Any questions about the book and I'd be happy to answer, just PM me. And to those who download the book, still only 1.95 ( no pound sign on my keyboard...), thank you and hope you enjoy it!
