Catherine E. Chapman - Women's Fiction & Romance - 'The Knight's Falconess' 99p promo until 25th March > Likes and Comments
Thanks for starting your author thread, Catherine.
Hi, welcome to the group Catherine. Make yourself at home. We look forward to news of your full length novel (Would have said hello over at the introductions thread but it seems to have gone off at a tangent again).
Hi Catherine Have just downloaded Elizabeth ClansmanAnd Welcome
Thanks for your greetings, Simon, Patti & Pat. And Pat, many thanks for letting me know you downloaded 'Elizabeth' - I hope you enjoy it.In response to your comment about my novel, Simon, I am happy to report that it is now available on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Beacon-Si...
Current list price is about £1.30. It's 120,000 words in length, structured in 3 volumes and is a sort of mini-saga, set in the English Lakes. Readers have said it is about self-discovery and, whilst romantic in some respects, is a novel with broader appeal than a generic romance. (Male readers have enjoyed it as much as female readers did!)
I had a surge of activity to finish it over the last couple of days and am now feeling very happy that it is finally -after about 7 years in the writing!- out in the world!
If anybody would like to read it, I would really value reviews and ratings on Goodreads & Amazon, and any other feedback on the book.
The Beacon Singer
That deserves one of our patented group 'yay's!Yay, Catherine!
Yay, indeed! Thanks Patti. Although I probably need to go and calm down now - have a nice cup of tea, or something...Patti (Totally Bananas) wrote: "That deserves one of our patented group 'yay's!

'The Beacon Singer' recently received its first review here on Goodreads. I'm delighted because Darian Wilk, who reviewed it, described it as having, 'an abundance of plot ... much like watching a mini-series,' and awarded it 4 stars. See Darian's full review here: The Beacon Singer
'Elizabeth Clansham' has also been reviewed on Goodreads recently. Katy Sozeava wrote, 'There were several scenes at which I laughed out loud ... folks who enjoy literary fiction and/or romantic fiction should enjoy it,' and awarded it 4 stars.

Here's the blurb:Samantha, a seamstress, stows away on a ship bound for Australia, disguised as a boy. Discovered by the ship's doctor, John Seacombe, she becomes his assistant.

And when the feisty Estelle McEwan enters the scene, things become even more complicated for Sam.
'High Sea' will be free on Amazon from 16th to 20th August (Sat. to Wed.). If you read and enjoy the story, I'd appreciate reviews, ratings, etc. there, here and anywhere else.
