"The Shameless Promotion and Endless Plug-Your-Novel Thread" - Page 48

Dr. Drib · 09-06-2010, 04:51 PM

Dear Authors:

Remember, when you decide to change a promotion in your regular thread promoting your book (this thread is an exception, as I think everyone realizes), do this:

FIRST - go to your FIRST POST and correct/add/delete the information.

SECOND - because you are doing a LEGITMATE BUMP - go to the END OF THE THREAD, and tell the Members about your new promotion. This will LEGITMATELY move your thread to the top.

FINALLY - PM me or another Moderator and one of us will change your Thread's title to reflect your new promotion. Be sure to tell a Moderator what you want the new title to be.

_______________________

Remember, regular bumping is against MobileRead's policy. One Book = One Thread. Help make MobileRead consistant, fun, and fair for everyone by folowing our Posting Guidelines.

Please PM me (or another Moderator) if you have any questions. We are here to help.

Hi, I've been reading this site for about six months, but have never posted. Let me introduce myself. My name is AJ Davidson and I am a traditionally published author and playwright, who, in Spring 2010, made the switch to Indie. I am keen to explore the potential of a rapidly changing publishing world, and enjoy the closer contact with my readers that e-books afford.

Born in Northern Ireland, I currently live in the bucolic splendour of the Fermanagh Monaghan border. A graduate of Queen's University, Belfast, I have a degree in Social Anthropology. Married for 28 years, I have two children, a Harrier hound and a cat called Dusty.

Not one for staying long in the same place, I have lived in many countries across several continents. I have worked as a pea washer, crane-driver, restaurateur and scriptwriter.

My fiction books can be found at: http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ajdavidson

My non fiction:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0717135721/
and
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0717138038/

My fiction style is most often compared to Elmore Leonard or James Patterson. Which probably means I'd be more suitable to an older readership. I do not write horror, fantasy or crossover. Read a sample and let me know what you think.

Richard Jackson posted a very nice review for Forbidden The Stars - http://kyrin007.wordpress.com/2010/0...den-the-stars/

He also has quite a few other very well written reviews for other books there.

The Invasion is #1 in Books>Fiction>Horror>Occult on Amazon.com for ALL books, including Kindle and is still in the top 10 in both Kindle Science Fiction and Kindle Horror and top 20 for ALL horror titles.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Invasion-ebook/dp/B003HS4V8O

It's doing better than last month... and then it sold 1200 copies.

It seems I really do have a hit on my hands

Quote:

I've been reading William Meikle for a while and his cross-genre style can be addictive. Polished craft with a B-movie action sensibility, Meikle is an old-school storyteller in the best possible way--he makes stories fun. But The Invasion also contains that kind of creeping plausibility that makes you go "What if..."

Well, I broke down and put The Red Church on sale for 99 cents. For how long? Don't know yet. Probably until I stop.

2003 Stoker Award finalist, a boy and a sheriff must solve the mystery of a haunted Appalachian church when a mysterious preacher returns to town.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Red-Church.../dp/B0032FPYD8

If it hits Top 100 I throw in another Kindle on the Giveaway Tour. Thanks. If you don't do Kindle, I have professionally formatted and DRM-free epub and mobi personal files you can buy direct for the same price. Happy weekend. And don't listen to that Burton fellow...

And congrats, Willie!

I have a new review of Apotheosis. See the latest post in the book's thread for details:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86292

Dead Forever: Apotheosis

A god? No thanks, too much responsibility. Sequel to Awakening, the hero is plunged into an alien world at war and natives who either regard him as a god, or another heretic fit to burn. In a world driven to extremes of intolerance and cruelty, the hero fights for peace but his nemesis has arrived, and he likes playing god, poised to launch unthinkable wrath that fulfills a world-ending prophecy.
