#SPFBO #2 - Thoughts and advice.

I was asked for my thoughts, advice on not winning SPFBO #1... was it worth it? What did I learn? How did I benefit?

Well... bit.ly/GRMSPFBO

Wherein I delve into the timeline (and a graph) for Draft 1 of my new book!

The swordsman who won't kill

Keeping with my Anime journey and my love of martial arts movies, I watched the three films in a Japanese live action version of a very popular anime and manga series...

Sword Art Online

In which I take a little look at Sword Art Online... players get trapped inside an MMO and try to survive.

Have any fans?

What happens when people start liking what you write?

Give these a try!

In this post, I look at those books that, in my very humble opinion, were good enough to win the recent competition (SPFBO), but either didn't or didn't make it past some very stiff competition in round 1.

I think they are all worth your while.

Planning a series

You'd think, by the end of three books, by completing a trilogy, I'd have learned something... you'd think.

Free books... we all want them.

So,

I was walking through the internet the other day when this fellow, we'll call him Ben Galley for such is the moniker he answers to, called to me.

"I say, good man," said Ben, addressing me. "How would you like to give a few of your inestimable books away. To people worthy, of course."

"My, my," responded I. "What a jolly good idea!"

And such was the conversation that events concurrent with the desire did come to pass. And, be such a worthy as you are, you wish to have a Free book or six, then do nothing more than pop along to this facebook page (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/blood... ) where the authors are at your disposal.

Or click here to enter anyway - http://chelecooke.com/giveaways/blood...

Should you win, you'll receive The Stone Road and The Blue Mountain by me.

Why don't you buy a book?

We always talk, at least to my perception of things, of the books we chose and loved. We wax lyrical to our friends, colleagues, that bloke on the street you bumped into.

What about those books we didn’t chose to read? The ones left on the shelf.

Are they less deserving?

Are they not as good?

How do we know? We didn’t read them.
