I stopped reading right here, at this quote:

"'Isn't that the place where Sir Henry Baskerville's neighbor; [sic] the squire of Drogo; [sic] shot his first stag?'"

You would be advised to either get an editor for this book, or else study examples on the differences between commas and semi-colons.

I'm sorry, but this type of error is only 100 or so WORDS into your novel, and acts as a deterrent toward further reading. You only have one chance to make a favorable impression, I'm afraid.

Last day to get my book "The ranchers" free on Amazon. 4.8 rating!

Description:

Jerry Johnston is a widower and a modern day cattle rancher in Montana. When his wife died at a young age, he felt responsible and it ended his relationship with God and with his three children. Then, Jerry meets a woman who changes his life. This is a story of loss and redemption, of hate and love, of the American way, that is wonderfully written with rich characters. Set in the gorgeous Rocky Mountains, The Ranchers will not just entertain you, it will deeply satisfy you and give you new understanding about life, love and God.

CREATOR OF THE WORLDS

Science fiction is a genre of variety: Everyone chooses something of their own. Some like adventure, some like races in the space, and some like the quiet lyric fantasy. And so, what do they have in common? They all awake the imagination, transport us to another time, and to other planets, where exactly in this moment something mysterious and incomprehensible occurs. All lovers of science fiction and fantasy rally around the love of unexplored worlds, the desire to learn something new and a special perception of the universe which is deep, critical, and philosophical.
In the book ‘Creator of the Worlds’ there are ten of the best stories written at various times and in the different styles. Here you will find science fiction and lively, ironic and lyrical fantasy. Fans of virtual reality and time travel in fiction will also find pleasant surprises. In each story you will visit a new world, each unique with its peculiar features and riddles. Actually, these worlds would appear only in the moment you create them with the power of your imagination, because each of us is the Creator of the worlds.

Here is a sample poem from my new book, "Letters":

“Kindergarten Phantasy”

What is this “bond”?
Unreal.
Substitute teacher.
Days gone by.
They tell me tomorrow never comes.
I abstain.
She had a horse,
Went Goth.
I was a very ill egg.
A mentally ill egg.
Now I live in Cancun.
A cold beer is never satisfying.
Nor are any drinks, really.
“It’s all social.”
- A little voice appears to me.
How sad.
Chicago.
Bushes turn grey with time.
Snows thaw us out.
One person’s Christmas
Is another person’s trash.
No, but my instinctive car.
Really?
Drive a BMW off the Autobahn,
Off the limestone cliffs.

You can buy it on amazon.com, here, if you so desire:

Ideal for Hunger Games and Divergent fans, Crystal Marcos delivers Novus, a riveting novel set in a dystopian future of action-adventure, suspense, and romance. Intriguing characters and a gripping storyline keep the reader turning page after page.

Being a teenager is hard enough. And what if your life's path is predetermined? On top of that, you aren't even Human?

Cayden was given life as a Cresecren. He expected to live out his days with the dysfunctional Human family he was assigned to serve. One fateful night, however, landed him in Gavaron, the home of maimed, elderly, or defiant Cresecren.

Beyond its borders is the Den, an area much more dangerous than he ever imagined. Now seventeen, Cayden unwittingly becomes involved in a conspiracy and is one of a handful of survivors fleeing a deadly attack. They set off on a perilous journey in search of refuge and the truth. Along the way, Cayden begins to comprehend the difference between fully living and merely surviving, while trying to balance his emotions and a forbidden love.

Special Birthday Pricing of $2.49 for the rest of September on my Young Adult Novus (The Cresecren Chronicles, Book 1)! My Children's Books for Ages 7 and up will also be on sale BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale and HEADACHE: The Hair-Raising Sequel to BELLYACHE will be $1.49 each!

A Review from Readers' Favorite

I would recommend not starting Novus (The Cresecren Chronicles, Book 1) by Crystal Marcos if you have anything planned for the rest of the day, as you will most likely not want to put the book down! Cayden, the main character, is a Cresecren, similar to humans, but made to serve them. Cayden ended up in a colony of Cresecrens who are either not fit to serve any longer or who have been outcasts for some reason. One day, Cayden's life changes completely. He meets an interesting human girl, and then is involved in a rather unpleasant chain of events (which I can't mention as that would be spoilers!) which lead to him and a group of others being on the run, and finding out that the world out there is full of things that are not as they seem.

Novus by Crystal Marcos is one of those gems that make you care about the characters within the story, and while you definitely want to know what happens to them, you can't help but also not want to get to the end of the book. It's the kind of book whose characters you miss when you finish the book. There is good news though, it's the first book in a series and if Crystal writes as well in the second book then it will also be a fantastic read. There still is a lot to explore, quite a few issues to be resolved, and I am sure that more interesting characters will be waiting for readers.

Hello! I've been a regular "lurker" on MobileRead since I got a Sony PRS-T1 for Christmas in 2011. Most of the last year, I've been in the Kobo forum, researching cool things like how to add extra fonts, and what's up with the newest firmware, and how can I make these margins smaller--oh thank heavens there's a patch to fix this--but what the heck is a patch and how do I get it to work?

All this is a prelude to assure other members that I'm not only here to try to sell my book, although it looks like that because I don't really post things. I'm pretty shy.

I recently published a book of poetry. It's available for Kindle, Kobo, and iBooks, and it's also on Scribd and Oyster. (Hopefully it'll be online for Nook pretty soon; I'm working on it!) The title is Happenings, Heartbeats, and Mental Breakdowns. Here's the description:

Sometimes I think summer has its own
pattern after all, some weirdly repeated

series of actions, happenings, heartbeats,
and mental breakdowns.

These are the first lines of “Road Work,” the poem that opens this collection and sets the tone for the rest of the book. The poems are personal, emotional, and sometimes confessional, but Manthe always strives to engage readers’ minds as well as their hearts. Many of the poems reflect the author’s lifelong struggle with depression, and others who have experienced the isolation that often comes with mental illness might find a little comfort and a sense of familiarity in these pages.

There are lighter moments, too: follow the nervous driver of “Nighttime on 95,” enjoy a snack of “Apples and Hot Chocolate,” and watch the speaker become first enamored, then annoyed, with a guy named Phil in “A Slice of Otto B.” From adolescence, and the joys and pains of young love, to marriage, motherhood, and the deaths of her parents, Manthe’s poems explore what it feels like to be constantly buffeted by the forces and stresses of everyday life, when she’d rather be lost in a book.
