J.R. Sweeney's Blog, page 4

Ahhh the final part of the book progression, the review
Well this last process I had kind of shunned.
Reviews good or bad I was not going to take them to heart.
In my mind the book had to be written.
I didn't say it had to be read, although I was hoping it would be.
So, guess what I got my first official review.
The review was from someone I met on social media.
A like minded soul out there promoting a book.
I will not mention any names as I have stated before this blog is about me and my book progression.
so I am going to post the review but before I do here is the links to purchase this book
My fine friends at Tate publishing
Here is the link to my website its pretty cool , got some nice pics on video in the gallery page
and the landing page is info about the book. and there is a contact me page with email addresses and such. so, please check that out.
The village of Jodicus website
Now drum roll please here is my first official review :)
A Compact Novel with Impact!
By reader choice, I acquired the paperback version of this novel (78 pages). Taking place from 33 – 100 AD, spiritual and religious undertones pervade throughout a story laced with brutal combat befitting the historical era.
From the very first page, the author’s voice and writing style convincingly transport you to ancient times in the manner of a sage narrating events to a captive audience seated before him by a crackling fire inside a mountain cave. His story is propelled by Marksivna, a hero who tries to unravel his past, while fighting to preserve the new utopian village of Jodicus.
Though compact, this novel does not fall short of reader expectation. J.R. Sweeney provides vivid descriptions, backstories, witty dialogue, conflicts, and blood spills on the meadow. It is apparent the author incorporated his knowledge of historical background and his familiarity with the Bible in this well-written novel.
Reading 'The Village of Jodicus' in one sitting justifies qualifying this book a page-turner.
Not take reviews to heart I said when a very talented published author whom I admire for her unique style and flow. writes this about my humble work. Damnit I am a grown man and this man cried.

Hi everyone just wanted to keep you informed with my goings on and most of all to thank you kind folks for your support and encouragement.
My book progression has been a blast and I owe it all to you. You have bought my book, you have liked and shared and tweeted about my story.
My first book that I worked very hard at writing. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed writing it but best believe I was my own worst critic.
I may have told you this before but I wrote the whole book and then selected all and deleted it...What?
So haunting was this tale I woke early one morning and started writing it again and for the better.
Oh well anyways this fine book is now available for pre-sale on amazon and Barnes and noble set for august 30 2016
or you can get the e book or paperback publisher direct right now from my very good friends at Tate publishing, who by the way Have taken very good care of this virgin author.
To them I am very grateful as well. I will leave you with some links and the trailer to "The Village of Jodicus" by JR Sweeney, one very grateful and thankful man.

BY STEPHEN CRANE
In Heaven,
Some little blades of grass
Stood before God.
“What did you do?”
Then all save one of the little blades
Began eagerly to relate
The merits of their lives.
This one stayed a small way behind
Ashamed.
Presently God said:
“And what did you do?”
The little blade answered: “Oh, my lord,
“Memory is bitter to me
“For if I did good deeds
“I know not of them.”
Then God in all His splendor
Arose from His throne.
“Oh, best little blade of grass,” He said.

T'was a perfect group, all two hundred and fifty had received the vision and understood what this village would be. Love for the invited and death and misery for all intruders. https://www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=978-1-68352-754-1

A fly has two compound eyes and each eye is made up between 3,000 and 6,000 simple eyes. I believe this is what would be needed to see all the fine Indie authors out here on the web.
I thought I was an awesome unique author but have had a rude awakening. The web is full off awesome and unique authors. I have been humbled perhaps waiting for my publisher has been a blessing. It has given me the chance to read and meet so many fine writers and people out on the web. I feel I have what it takes to make it out here. I am finding it is the story and the characters that matters and I know my book has the goods. Either way I am having a blast chatting, learning and growing as an author. I will mention no names of my fellow authors on this blog. This blog is all about me. J. R. Sweeney just a guy from new England, trying to make it in a world full of rich writing. The blogs I follow have been a real wake up call for me. I never imagined that so super talented writers existed! Until now my reading has been of only one book the Bible. In my younger years I read a lot of Hemingway and I really liked H P. Lovecraft I recently bought a kindle and dedicated it only indie authors. I have been reborn I am so impressed by the new generation of Salinger's and Bradbury's and Hemingway's, that fill my kindle. Kudos to the indie and self -published authors of the web and the world. Now for a couple pics from borntobleed881 on G+ speaking of unique and talented.also here is a link to my website if want to now more about my book and its unique storyline and characters.
check out my website click right here :)
Peace y'all
