I just released my first novel on Amazon

[Karin]

Hi there,

I'm not sure this is in the right place, but I just released my first indie published novel and I'd love some reviewers. If you're interested, email me at karinwork@hotmail.com and I can get you a free copy. Here is the blurb and Amazon link:

Amedeo is Cruxim—a rare, winged supernatural creature who knows neither his purpose nor his past, save but to feed on the vampires that plague the earth. When his one weakness, the girl and novice nun Joslyn, is taken and turned by his enemies, Amedeo vows never to rest until evil is expunged from his world.

On his quest, he meets Sabine: a guardian. Half-woman, half-lioness, she is a Sphinx who has been protecting humans from vampires since the dawn of time. But when she fails in her task of protecting a young boy, she is relentlessly pursued by her evil employer, Dr. Claus Gandler, a scientist collecting a sideshow of freaks, and both she and Amedeo are captured and cruelly paraded in Gandler's Circus of Curiosities.

When the stakes are eternity in a cage, what will Amedeo risk to save one or both of the women he loves?

This gothic paranormal novel explores the beast within amid a setting of mythology and forbidden love. Cruxim's dark world and conflicted characters are the antithesis of the sparkly vampire genre.

Hi, Karin

Good luck! I released my first one about two weeks ago. It's very rewarding to see your name up there "in lights," so to speak, but sales are sporadic and you have to really push it.

How long is your book? It doesn't yet have an estimated page count on Amazon. It doesn't really seem like my cup of tea, but I could have a look....

Again, good luck! :)

Yes, best of luck and well done!
It's a good feeling to see your work out there - and a little scary.

Congrats. Don't forget about the little people when you become a megastar.

[Karin]

thanks everyone. Yes, it is a little daunting. I have published poetry, short stories and picture books on Amazon in the past and many titles with trade publishers in Australia, but this feels like by far my biggest gamble. Still, if it doesn't sell, I enjoyed writing it, and hopefully some will enjoy reading it, and I suppose that is all at really matters.

Yes, if you enjoyed it that is what matters:)

Thanks Florence. Very helpful.

I just released my first novel Dragon-Ridden as well and know that daunting feeling. There's an immediate rush and then an Ohmigod what have I done, what if nobody likes it feeling as well. ;) It sounds interesting! Good luck and I hope it takes off!

Congrats! And so the journey begins...

Thanks, Troy. Now if I could only stop watching its rank! :-)
