It's September! Thanks to all for August being my best sales month to date. Considering that I pretty much only promote here and Kindleboards I think I can safely credit this online community with any success I have
We start the month off with a new(ish) Amazon review for
Tales from the Green Book One: The Magic Flute, as always available for only 99 cents at Amazon and Smashwords!
Quote:
The Magic Flute, the first part in the Tales from the Green series, by S.D. Best harks back to the ancient tale of Beowulf and the later fantasies of Tolkien and C. S. Lewis but takes place in modern times. The young boy, Alex, struggles with the everyday challenges of growing up--parents whom he feels don't understand him, troubles in school, endless, boring sessions in therapy to cure him of an overactive imagination and make him a "normal" kid. Not even his grandfather, whose stories he loved as a child, can inspire him anymore. Life has truly become dull and meaningless. Until the day, he finds himself in the strange and mysterious Land of the Green, where he is thrown into the role of the hero. An ancient prophecy foretells that young Alex will be the savior of the Green, the one who will slay the terrible dragon. Now, Alex wishes sometimes he was back in his boring, bland life. However, he presses on and has adventures he could have never dreamed of. The Magic Flute is a tale full of elves, fairies, trolls, talking trees, mysterious songs, dangerous monsters, and exciting adventures. At its core, however, it is a story about growing up, making difficult choices, overcoming fear, making sacrifices for the good of society, about love and friendship. It is a thoroughly delightful book. Highly recommended.
