So you've written more than one book...

[Patti (baconater)]

Which one would you suggest should be read first and why?

Please give us amazon links to it, as well. You know we're all too lazy to search for ourselves.

[Shaun]

Ohhhh, time to do more dump n run.

The Kult

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kult-Prosper-...

Start with this one because it's my favourite. It's also the first book of a series. It's also been filmed and is awaiting release and when it is, you can say you've read the book and then when it becomes a massive hit you can be all blasé and say, 'Been there, done that.'

[Patti (baconater)]

Yep, that's a good'un Shaun.

Second one is great too.

[Lorraine]

I second that !

And I think we should be the ones running from Shaun.. He's playing Far Cry...

I'd like people to read Treespeaker -

1.because it's my favourite
2.because it's 'deeper' than the others I've written.
3.because the sequel is due out in the not-too-distant-future.

It has to be Broken City because:

1. I'm 25.000 words into book 2 now and I'm getting really excited!

2. I think (Hope!) that it appeals to a wider range of people than The Promise.

3. You get to know (the MC) Deeta really well, seeing the world in which she lives through her eyes and with her naivety, preconceived ideas and misconceptions. This means you can't rely on what you're 'seeing' because it's how Deeta understands the situation, not nessasserily how things really are.

[Stuart]

I guess it has to be Tollesbury Time Forever as it is:

1. The first book in the FRUGALITY Trilogy

2. The third book in the FRUGALITY Trilogy is due out in Spring 2013 so it gives you time to read both Tollesbury Time Forever and the second book - The Bird That Nobody Sees

3. People seem to like it

4. It's only 99p at the moment!

Cheers!

I suppose I would have to say The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - The Curious Case Of The Kidnapped Chemist since it leads to the rest of the series.

[Jim]

Well, I'd suggest Swords for a Dead Lady is best read first, followed by Dead man riding East

You can read them separately but I think it works better in order.

However the third book 'Flames of the City' is back from the editor, so I've got a fair bit of work to do. This one just has the same background, and some people who appear in it appear in other books, but it is a totally separate book and could be read first or last (or even in the middle)

[Robert]

I'd suggest Song of the Shaman

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Song-Shaman-G...

because although it's the third in the Glass Apple series, and the least read, it seems to be the one enjoyed the most by those who've read it!

Katie, I've just marked it as Want to Read. (As soon as I catch up on everything already waiting in my Kindle.) It looks good, and keeps showing up as 1 or 2 on my alsoboughts. :>) Good luck on the sequel.

[Katie]

Thanks, Alexes! :-)

Well, I've written 3 books so far. My recommended reading order would be as follows:

1)Maureen goes to Venice as this was the first lengthy piece I wrote (still novella, though) and it is the first 'Maureen' book. It is also a current Goodreads recommended read, so there's still time to read it and join in the discussion!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maureen-goes-...

2) A Letter for Maureen delves a bit deeper into Maureen's character but is still full of laughs.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/A-Letter-for-...

3)ECLECTIC: Ten Very Different Tales This can be read at any point. Why not dip in and out? The book also introduces Maureen in a comic short at an art gallery.

[Will]

All of mine are absolutley stand alone, and can be read in any order.

My personal fave however is:

OH :) another one to add to my "reading serieses challenge" Already read so is my next read.


Is there a book 3?

[Michael]

How did you know I'd written more than one book?

Anyway, I'd recommend starting with Shelter from Thunder.



It's very short, and the main character is a likeable young boy taking shelter during a WWII air raid.

It's also free on both Amazon sites! Yes!

Amazon for Brits
Amazon for Yanks

My teenager complains that it's the other way round.

[Geoffrey]

I'd have to say it would be my new release, CRYO: Rise of the Immortals



It's definitely my favourite book so far, probably because the main character and I share several traits. I also think that because it's my newest novel, it's probably better writing and more engaging than previous works. Plus, even I got excited when writing it as I wanted to know what was going to happen! :)

'Quartermaster' @ Amazon Kindle prequel to 'Sombre Waters'

[Philip]

Well, it has to be because that gives the background to the 'nostalgedy' concept. Then . The third book in the series is pencilled in for the Spring.

[Roger]

I suppose I could suggest you start at the beginning with The Barcza Gambit.

However, my favourite, in terms of writing, is the second book in the series, Sicilian Defence. I love Italy and Sicily, so I'm a little bias.

Then again, people who have read the books say book five, Octopus Knight is the best.

[Jason]

I'd say start with Cigarette, for me: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

Because it's my first, haha. Out in a few days. It's the first part of a trilogy with the other two finished, so that's an obvious reason for starting on it. I think the second book is better, and the third is better still.

I published it over my other book, which is a long, dark/funny horror sort of thing, because I didn't want people to think horror was all I did. The next one I'm working on is a comedy drama sort of thing, I didn't want to publish it first because it's more of an experiment in writing for different genres.
