New Thriller Novel set in Prague --> Da Vinci Code meets Bourne Identity
This Month's Recommended Reading on Book Club Reading List is the New Thriller, The God Complex by Chris Titus. Take a thrill ride through Chinese medicine in this modern day thriller that was inspired by actual events. This is the first novel of its kind to give Eastern medicine a mainstream presence. Synopsis Inspired by true events, The God Complex takes readers on a thrill ride through Chinese medicine. Desperate for a cure and spurned by his Western physicians, Steve Benson was left with no other choice but to take a leap of faith … a leap that landed him in Boston’s Chinatown. After years of drinking foul smelling concoctions and getting stuck with needles, he emerged healed and well-trained in their secret arts. However, he never forgot the dismissive attitudes of his Western physicians. Follow along as a dynamic conspiracy ensues, pitting Eastern medicine against its critics in the West. Discover the secrets of Chinese medicine and its hidden connection to martial arts as the mystery unfolds. |

A Kindle Fire would be nice, but what I'd really like is a life reading from that crazy old man in the video who channels extraterrestrials!

Room 101 Old Skool. Writers air their pet peeves. Readers vote.
Calling Writers and Readers who would like to take part in a bit of light internet entertainment...
Writers: Would you enjoy raising your profile with a completely frivolous and essentially pointless guest post with a difference? Readers: Do you want to take part in an intearctive-ish weekly blog feature? If you would, Room 101 Old Skool might be the thing for you. Here's some more information. There's a TV programme here in Blighty called Room 101. It's based around a room in Orwell's 1984 where people are taken during torture to confront their worst fears (see here for the general gist). So, it's a room where all sorts of things, that people would rather didn't exist, are kept. As a Radio or TV show the Room 101 format goes like this: a celebrity guest chooses five items they'd like to see consigned to Room 101 for ever and the host then decides which items go in. If the guest manages to get four or five out of five, they get to put something else in. If they only get two or less they have to allow one of their items out again. As a weekly blog feature, I thought we could work it like this:- Authors: Each week a different one of you will be my guest and choose five items you would like to see consigned to Room 101 for ever. They could be pieces of music, things, people... pretty much anything. You will write up your choices, numbered one to five, in a short article and say why you would like to see them consigned to Room 101 for ever. You are allowed to give me a quick 30 word biog and a link to your website or blog and up to three places where we can buy your books. Readers: If we get enough followers and I can sort out how to do voting buttons you, yes YOU peps, can vote yes or no, over the course of the week following the post on whether or not each of the items suggested goes into Room 101. Even better you could post comments saying what you have voted and why. At the end of the week I will post the results and depending on how well they've done, the Author will get to put a bonus item in or will have to choose which item to let out. Then it starts all over again. Actually doing this every two weeks would probably be smarter. Does anyone like the idea of this? Would any of the authors or readers here like to sign up? If you would please PM me with your e-mail address. Cheers MTM Last edited by M T McGuire; 03-26-2012 at 04:21 PM. Reason: Was originally a thread so I had to edit so people can sign up... coz they can't comment so easily. |

How To Use Kindle As An Editing Tool
Hi,
All the authors I know love their Kindles. They make the best editing tools for fine-edits, giving that all-important, once-removed "reader" feel... great for any kind of writing: reports, dissertations etc, not just fiction. Here's my blog piece on how to edit on Kindle: http://fessingauthor.blogspot.co.uk/ |

A BITTER VEIL: Virtual Video Chat April 17
Hi all. My 9th novel, A BITTER VEIL is out (at least on Amazon in ebook and print) and will be out "officially" April 15. It's a literary thriller set in Revolutionary Iran. To celebrate, I'm conducting a Virtual Video Book Chat on Tuesday, April 17 at 6 PM EDT (so plan accordingly). The neat thing is that up to 500 people all over the world can watch and interact with me AND each other. Would love to have you join me. All you do is go to shindig.com/event/32-Libby-Fischer-Hellmann That’s it! To RSVP for a reminder the day of, go to http://bit.ly/H1kWyg Thanks. Hope to see you soon... |
