Did you hear about my husband's book?
My darling husband, Tim, who wrote The Days of Babylon: An Autobiography By A Former Stoner, is out right now selling his book. He had 2000 flyers made up and is at the moment planning the littering of the Galleria mall's parking lot by putting the flyers under windshield wipers.
Don't you love when people put flyers under windshield wipers? So far, he has sold 9 copies! His former boss bought a copy of his book at Smashwords, and he is furious about how he is portrayed! Actually, Tim went pretty easy on the little monster, IMHO. |

Two days left (well, closer to a day and a half) to get Boomerang for ninety-nine cents at Smashwords. Coupon code HK56J Boomerang at Smashwords Five Star review at Smashwords: Alan Hutcheson has written a wonderfully fun tale that will keep you reading all night. Ted and Jerry make a unique team on the hunt for a strange relic once owned by a super powerful Washington lawman; and if thats not enough they have a crossbow wielding albino after them to keep them from slowing down. The characters are weird and entertaining they will make you laugh. I can't wait for Alan's next book. |

That's an eclectic collection of books you have lined up there. Talk about broadening the mind. What's your preferred genre? |

Despite what some say, serendipity plays a big part in this business. Good luck with your own writing endeavours. Plug away! |

Wahoo!
What a great review. Makes me want to read it and I'm not a big fantasy reader! Thanks, David. Now that I'm here, am I stuck here for all eternity? Those pit walls look rather slippery. |

Are they flyers promoting the ebook or have you also printed in hard copy? I wish you and your husband every success. |

Isabel Allende Llona (The House of the Spirits - La casa de los espíritus) Gabriel García Márquez (Cien años de soledad - One Hundred Years of Solitude) John Steinbeck (Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, Tortilla Flat) Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street) Fun, light reading .. Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum novels) JD Robb ("In Death" series) Lee Child (Jack Reacher books) Jack Higgins James Rollins (reading now - Doomsday Key) Jack DuBrul (Philip Mercer books) and lately, I've been mostly trying a lot of the indie authors on MR. I've been very surprised at the range of genres that I've found I like, just by reading these new-to-me authors. |
