I want to say thanks a ton to all those who've been reading Besserwisser: A Novel recently. Not sure why the small surge, but it's currently in the Top 10 for Kindle > Humor >Parodies.

In Besserwisser, lame imposters vie for a juicy historical secret, fueled by beer and sausage in 1990 Munich.

While I'm at it, a recent interview here and here reveals why my characters probably hate me.

I appreciate it!

I seem to be swimming upstream with all these sf/f genres. But here's my offering for those who like a little family drama with their fiction.

Rubies and Other Gems - the Novel

A one-night stand in her dreams isn’t the worst thing that can happen to Lily’s shaky marriage. Unless it involves a real man who lived and died years before she was born.

Transported through time by her grandmother’s ruby jewelry, Lily is appalled when she discovers Daniel, her dream lover, isn’t a dream after all. But she’s entranced by the simpler nature of times gone by and can’t resist going back again. But only after imposing strict rules on herself.

When a miscalculation keeps her away longer than planned, she’s confronted by her enraged husband on her return. Aware she can’t make amends and steer her children in the right direction unless she stays in the here and now, Lily vows to leave the past to the past.

But in her attempt to take away the jewelry’s power, she inadvertently sends herself back without her return ticket, the rubies. Despite the kindness of an older, grayer—and married Daniel, she fears she’ll grow old and die before her loved ones are born. A far greater fear is that her children won’t ever see the light of day if she’s not there to give birth to them.

The Book Binge says, "I would recommend this novel as one of those books that moves the reader through the days, months, and years of living, that open the reader's awareness to circumstances that, in this case, may be just a bit unique . . . So be sure to read this novel--it will be well-worth your time.”

Thank you for reading and I hope you'll download a sample.

Thank you to those who've bought The Kinshield Legacy recently! And thank you, frostschutz, for the great 5-star review!!

GraceKrispy has put up a great review of Verdant Skies on Amazon.com and other sites.

Quote:

Steven Lyle Jordan has written a page-turning adventure that, unfortunately, doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility. His characters are pretty well-defined, and the science is thought-provoking. (For readers who are interested in the basis of the science included in the book, there is a nice explanation at the end of the book.) It was a difficult book to put down. As I read, I found myself thinking about how easily this truly could be our reality in 2229, or even sooner. I think that connection to what is going on in our world right now is what makes this book so fascinating. It's the kind of science fiction that could truly become our reality down the road.

Thanks, Grace!

On November 1st, I released "The Year We Finally Solved Everything," a dark, faced-paced, contemporary novel about settling down, growing up, and all that mess in between the two.

http://www.amazon.com/Year-Finally-Solved-Everything-ebook/dp/B0048EL3IC/

The global economy is in tatters not because of humanity’s faults but because of its accomplishment. The country of Shan Won, a small island state off the coast of China, has cured all of our ills, and like a black hole, a piercing singularity of perfection, it’s sucking the world dry of its stability and leadership and power.

Human traffickers become overwhelmed with smuggling hordes of North Americans across to Asia for a better life. And for Richard, for whom growing up seems to have solved nothing at all, escape seems to be his only option. But when he become reacquainted with Mia, the girlfriend of his twenties, he’s no longer certain about just what’s the problem and what’s the solution. He only knows that he’s running out of time.

A longer (33%) sample can be found at Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/27680

To all of you who downloaded the free pre-release version, I'd love to hear what you think! I even take criticism well. I promise I won't go all M.R. on you. Lord knows, I've received enough rejection letters to develop a decently thick skin.

Shameless promotion? I'm fine with that. I've heard that nine out of ten gnomes prefer my novel Gnomes more than any other novel

http://www.amazon.com/GNOMES-ebook/d...8797918&sr=8-1

Nine out of ten giant eels prefer my novel Giant Killer Eels than Jaws or any other water based novel.

http://www.amazon.com/Giant-Killer-E...8798869&sr=1-1

And would you believe ten out of ten killer granny's prefer my novella Dame Demise.

Swimming upriver with Joyce DB...

Today might be a good day for shameless self-promotion, it seems the couple of sales I had for The Storyteller put it to 38k for a while there in Kindle store. Kinda scary...

If anyone wants to boost it up to #10 or so, they could buy the book here.

I have been voted Best Writer/Author for 2010 in October by The View Magazine.

And now, after the success of The Judas Syndrome, I've finished the second book of the series, Rebirth, due for release fall of 2010. With a third in mind, what was to be a single effort has become an epic telling of the end times.
