Calling all Self-Published Authors

[John]

"Indisposed," hmmm, that's a quaint way of putting it. You shall go far, young lady. "Go Spy the Shelves," indeed. What's next, "Goodreads and the Morrow"? Take a bow. I admire your effort.

Hello there!

My name is JR Gibson, and I have written a series of fairy tales for young children age 5-7. Here is the link to the first story in the series: "The Foolish Magician", and the description.



The Foolish Magician: Children's fairy tales for beginners, Bedtime stories for children ages 5-7

When a fairy decides to reward young Peter for his assistance, he is given magical powers-everything that he asks for will be done for him.

But when he unintentionally uses his powers to win the heart of Princess Valeria, it results in him making an enemy of her father, the King-who will stop at nothing to prevent Valeria from marrying him. After successfully trapping Peter, the two of them are punished- as the King vows severe consequences for anyone who offends him.

Can Peter use his magical powers to save himself and Valeria from the wrath of the King?

Thank you very much!
JR Gibson

Crystalborne Sigils

When a battered ship unlike any seen before in the Atturei Empire sails into the harbor of Hawei—bringing with it the secret and proscribed—and inexplicable afflictions begin to plague the town, Gyasi fears he can no longer keep the secret of his forbidden magic.

My new novel “Luna” is available via Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. It’s a science fiction tale, but also falls under coming of age, adventure, disaster and thriller.

I’m a first time author and new to the GoodReads platform, so thank you guys for any help you can provide…

"One day, Earth's cities failed to shine and a silence fell over our corner of the cosmos... and that is when our peace died."

Adam is like any other seventeen year old. He has dreams, hopes and fears.
However, Adam's birth marked another giant leap for mankind.
One day, his entire world begins to slip away.
One day, he and those closest to him are faced with impossible life-or-death decisions... and time is rapidly running out.
This is his story...

Told in ‘real time’ over the span of four harrowing days, and by a first-person narrator, “Luna” is the story of the first human to be born outside of Earth. The story picks up just before his eighteenth birthday, and how that milestone is going to be celebrated due to his historic status.

However, an unprecedented disaster strikes, cutting off his home (a lunar colony) from Earth. Soon, that home becomes a ‘sinking ship’ - with time quickly running out, he (and those around him) realize that no one is coming to help them and that they must take matters into their own hands in order to survive.

Hello S-P Only Club,

As a first time author I am endeavouring to get to grips with things. Ideally I would like to obtain some reviews so I hope this is one of the places I might make a post with that in mind. Here's the Goodreads link to my novel, 'The Unnatural Woman'.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

....and the blurb from the back cover:

'In the society of Trueway, Steph Hugo is the model Citizen. She has the tattoos to prove it, but she also has secrets, and secrets can be dangerous - especially in the land of the naked truth.
When her son, Tim, discovers one such secret, she must decide whether to prioratise family or principles, whether to follow her conscience or the rules, whether to conform or be free. And in the end will she have any choice?'

Any advice or comments gratefully received.
Many thanks
Dave Asthouart

Hello everyone! I just joined this group ^^

I have two books at the moment, and working on a third. I'll drop the links here along with the amazon links :)

Hi everyone, my book (first in a series) is now available. Take a look, if it looks like something you might like, please give it a read. Self-published books are usually the ones that make a wonderful read, they just sit outside of the norms...

Hi Joanie
Could you please add my latest installment in The Salvation of Tempestria Series, Splintered Time

Thanks

Gary


When the Council of Mages brings charges of selfishness and incompetence, the Guardians refute them. Yet their actions have already splintered Time, creating both allies and enemies.

Now there is a magic school under siege, with a principal who should not exist, and an old adversary with a dangerous fragment he should not possess.

Gods and demons, mortals and aliens, magic and technology – the threats come from all sides, and the Guardians will need all their ingenuity to keep Time from unravelling.

When faced with the consequences of their past and future actions, they begin to wonder: Were the Council mages right?

Hey, everyone! Glad to have found this thread. Here's my novel that's coming out Jan 3, 2023.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Grateful for the good advance reviews it's been getting:
“A road trip takes three siblings through their mother's eye-opening past in this novel...Although it steps into grim territory, Rice's tale provides ample comedy...Characters, meanwhile, bond in fun, unexpected ways...This breezy, charming tale incisively shows a family's bittersweet facets.”
–Kirkus Reviews


“In this rollicking family dramedy, debut author Rice sends three lovable siblings on a zany yet touching road trip… Comedy marks every page as Jess slings sarcastic one-liners, and wacky characters intervene in every quirky destination… Rice’s sharp observations of society’s absurdity verge on the satirical and even on occasion veer toward delightfully crude. To offset the humor, solemn moments add depth to the siblings’ inner journeys… Fans of family drama, road trips, and non-stop laughs will love this cross-country adventure.”
–BookLife in Publisher’s Weekly


A "feverish, entertaining novel."
–Foreword Clarion Reviews

"[A]n engrossing story... Allyson Rice creates a rollicking good read that is filled with humor, wry life observations, and odd family interrelationships as these shared experiences evolve. She is especially astute at presenting contrasts in perspective and perception within these encounters... The result is a fictional portrait of sibling drama and life events which excels in the unexpected, teaches (by way of example) how disparate personalities can come together; and offers thought-provoking scenes of disconnection and connection. This will attract not just libraries seeking good leisure reads about sibling relationships, but book discussion groups focused on family trauma and drama."
–Midwest Book Review (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer)
