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

[Eastlondonboy]

The Messiah of Green Street tells the story of Sahil, born to Bangladeshi immigrants Karim and Anjana in the deprived melting pot of Upton Park, London. This strange-looking prodigal of a boy – who can allegedly speak Arabic and Hebrew from birth - is greeted as a miracle and ‘a child of the world’, but the superstitious adulation of his community slowly ebbs and sours as the realities of life as a disenfranchised and dispossessed second generation immigrant take over.

Farthest Space: The Wrath of Jan has received a review. The reviewer gave it four stars and said, "I loved this book!... I laughed out loud on several occasions. The writing was great, the plotting fun, the dialog hilarious."

I hope you'll find it hilarious too... or at least amusing:-). As always, thank you!

Hi there,

I am the author of the peacekeeper series.

A series of natural disasters of biblical proportions occurred on a global scale. Around the world, tens of millions died as a result. When the survivors looked around, they saw a world drastically changed. Most men and women struggled to cope with the devastation. Many turned to marauding as a means of survival. A few of the survivors banded together to protect the weak. They became Peacekeepers.

Sincerely,
Ricky Sides

Thought I would let any readers of this thread who might be interested know that I just started a blog at WordPress. It's not my intention that it be about my books or my writing, but about the experience of indie publishing. The name is The Pure Indie, which is what I've been calling those of us who publish without having been previously published through traditional routes.

Of course I'm also more than willing to mention my own books - Rottweiler Rescue is a cozy mystery for dog lovers set in the world of dog rescue. Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold is a story of family conflicts and romance set in Colorado in 1885. They are both available for $1.99 at Amazon:

Is it still shameless when someone else is providing the positive words?

Nice comment from MR member ttluisa about Boomerang:

I just got this book yesterday for $1.99 because I didn't realize there is still a 99 cents coupon. I was kinda upset at myself when I found out the extended coupon but after reading a few pages I realized that the original price was actually a great deal already.
THIS BOOK IS EASILY WORTH FIVE TIMES MORE! Great job Alan!

Friday night, I attended an author's panel with two other authors, who both shamed me into setting up a Twitter account. So, here it is!

Instead of repeating my blurb, I thought I’d tell you about the themes in my full-length women’s fiction novel. Although Serendipity House begins and ends like a romance, in between is a multi-layered story about the diverse relationships between family members as well as strangers who become like family. Besides a mystery and a romance, there’s the realization that we’re all the children of imperfect parents, the growing friendships between people of dissimilar backgrounds, and the quest to be accepted and loved regardless of our flaws.

To read the first two chapters, please visit my website, joycedebacco.com. Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll visit Serendipity House.

Thanks for reading.

Wow. Mystery is a tough category. There's a lot of competition there. Congratulations to you!!

Jumping in:

Stuck in a nursing home, widower Leo Zepka hires two actors to portray the children who never visit him. With the actors' help, Leo escapes from the home and flees to Florida -- only to have his children go after him.

That's the plot of "Rent A Family," a poignant comic work of fiction.

Check it out on Amazon Kindle.

Thanks, WA and Maureen!

I'm beside myself with excitement. I uploaded Thin Blood to Amazon at the beginning of this month and it's gone from being ranked in the tens of thousands to currently #17 in the Kindle store (fiction and non-fiction). I can't explain why, how or what, but I'm certainly not complaining.
