Jonathan Hopkins | 6 comments Hi Danielle
Thanks for the chance to spread the word about books that otherwise stay pretty much invisible to the world at large.
I've been mooching around the Historical NF threads for a while - research (groan!)- and only came across this one very recently. So forgive me for plugging my story about two young cavalrymen during the Peninsular War.
Walls of Jericho
Jonathan Hopkins

Its also available as a Kindle ebook at
http://www.amazon.com/Walls-Jericho-C...
and in other formats at
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...

There are story extracts on my website www.cavalrytales.co.uk and I blog about the cavalry and other horse/writing related bits and bobs at http://cavalrytales.wordpress.com

Thank you for reading and best wishes
Jonathan

PS. If anyone wants any period-related help on horses for their own writing, please let me know. I'll be only too glad to help out if I can.

Mary Findley | 29 comments I am impressed by the number of authors here who write for the YA audience. This is something I have noticed all across Goodreads. I am also impressed by the number of people taking different avenues to get their books, stories, and poems "out there." Publishing is changing so much, but I hope there is wisdom in the "give it away" policy some have adopted. There is, I think, a balance somewhere between posters like Larry, who, from what I have read, had put in his time in conventional publishing, and people like Anthony, looking into a possible future where all we write may be immediate and shared virtually by all who want to see it. Experience and craftsmanship shouldn't give way to "freebies" that might not be seen as having value and potentially devalue what we have worked to produce. But I think conventional publishing or any paper publishing is overpriced and doomed in a shrinking economy.

Libbie Hawker (L.M. Ironside) (lmironside) | 10 comments Hello, everybody! I decided to self-publish my historical novel, The Sekhmet Bed, after almost two years of trying to sell it to the traditional publishing industry. All the editors who read it were really impressed with it, I am happy to say, but none of them offered a contract because the setting was too unfamiliar to make it a "sure thing." It is set in ancient Egypt, about 3500 years ago (about 100 years before the reign of Nefertiti and Akhenaten).

If you're into historical novels or women's fiction, check it out! I am giving away ebook copies free through the end of November...check out my author page and scroll down to the Events section for details on the offer.

Thanks!


message 110: by Mary (new)

Mary Findley | 29 comments Lavender, this topic sounds very enticing. I am surprised that the editors were unfamiliar with books set in ancient Egypt. I know it is a popular subject, at least from a standpoint of archaeologist mysteries and several I have read set in ancient Egypt. Have seen a number of books, but yours will no doubt bring something new to the "genre."


message 111: by Libbie Hawker (new)

Libbie Hawker (L.M. Ironside) (lmironside) | 10 comments It wasn't so much that they were unfamiliar with it...as you said, there are some popular books out there set in ancient Egypt. It had more to do, I think, with the fact that the economy is so crummy and publishers seem very gunshy right now about risking money on books that aren't "a sure thing." The big trend in historical fiction right now is Tudor and similar European courts, and it's awfully hard to find publishers who are willing to take a gamble on something a little different at the moment.

It's an understandable thing from a business perspective! You've got to keep an eye on he bottom line.

It's cool with me...I write a lot of contemporary fiction as well and I'm still working on selling that to traditional publishers. I was happy to self-pub this particular book since it seemed it was not going to find a home with a publisher until the economy improves or until the trends change. :) I am just glad readers are able to enjoy it.

Mary Findley | 29 comments Hope you succeed, Lavender! Not sure the economy is going to improve. We went e-book to make our works affordable and adaptable. And I was happy to accept your friend request!

Libbie Hawker (L.M. Ironside) (lmironside) | 10 comments Oh, the economy will improve eventually. It will take a few years, though. :) Economies do this. They're cyclical. Or so I've been told by my economist friends.

Sure is a drag in the meantime, though! :P


message 114: by Mary (new)

Mary Findley | 29 comments Economies are cyclical, but sometimes they re-emerge under new governments after a total collapse, and that's rarely an improvement. We'll see. Some of these many dystopian books I see around Goodreads may become current events before we're through.

message 116: by Travis (new)

Travis (traviserwin) | 2 comments Hello my name is Travis Erwin and my book debut, THE FEEDSTORE CHRONICLES was released by TAG Publishing a small Texas POD publisher on November 1st.

A writing friend described the book as Sedaris with a twang and since I found the description quite flattering I hope it is fairly accurate. THE FEEDSTORE CHRONICLES is a coming of age memoir about y days working for a nefarious but fun loving boss at a Texas feed store.

Here is a copy of the back jacket blurb ...

Welcome to Pearl's Feed and Seed

Most coming-of-age stories are fraught with symbolism, hidden metaphors, and a heaping mound of other literary devices. Not this one. Not mine. You see, I came of age while working at a dusty Texas feedstore. A place where To Kill a Mockingbird involved a twelve-year-old and a BB gun. Of Mice and Men was a problem easily solved with rat poison. And David Copperfield was nothing more than a dude that made shit disappear. In the spring of 1989, I went to work at Pearl's Feed and Seed for a man named Doyle Suggs. On the surface Doyle and I had little in common: I was a rosy-cheeked boy of sixteen; he was a twice-divorced, thirty-year-old high school dropout. I had yet to go on my first date; he was trading sex for horse feed in the back room. Sure, Doyle was a lout, a liar, and a lecherous derelict. To this day, he remains the most morally bankrupt man I've ever met, yet my life wouldn't be half as blessed, had I missed out on his misguided education. The Feedstore Chronicles is a mostly true account of those days and when murderous ex-wives, well-hung bulldogs, and feed room fornication were all part of a normal day at Pearl's.

The Last Stoic

Hi all,

Thanks so much for providing this forum and opportunity to spread the word about indie books.

I published my first novel, entitled The Last Stoic , this summer with Hidden Brook Press, an independent publisher in Brighton, Ontario, Canada.

I'd like to do a book giveaway soon.

A brief overview:

The Last Stoic is a story about appetite and fear, both modern and ancient. Half of the story’s narrative occurs in the time and place of the ancient Roman Empire; the other half occurs in the present-day United States. A central conceit of the novel is that the parallels between the two eras are so strong that the narrative can continue uninterrupted as the setting shifts from historic Rome to modern America, alternating from chapter to chapter.

Marcus, a young man from a northern provincial border town, journeys deep into the heart of the empire and witnesses first-hand the excesses that can lead to ruin, both personal and political. His story offers an ancient commentary on the preoccupations of our own turbulent times.

Shortly after his arrival, the empire is thrown into a panic by an unprecedented barbarian attack on the capital. Suspicion and paranoia abound. A young Roman/American runaway named Patrick, disillusioned with his own life and the state of his country, becomes convinced that Marcus is a dangerous traitor. Culminating in a public accusation made by Patrick, Marcus is wrongfully imprisoned, exiled and tortured as an enemy of the state. In prison, he confronts the many contradictions he has found in his adopted home, and in himself.

Throughout the story, in both eras, the writings of the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius (The Meditations) insinuate themselves unexpectedly into Marcus’ life. In prison, he is saved by a chance meeting with Sextus Condianus, the “last Stoic” of the title, a cell-mate who is able to fully recite Aurelius’ words and impart their wisdom. Ultimately, it is this unanticipated and unbidden instruction that gives the young man the strength he requires to survive. It becomes evident that the words of the venerable Stoic emperor have as much relevance to our own era as they did to his.


message 118: by Mary (new)

Mary Findley | 29 comments Morgan,I will have to take a closer look at your book, to see how you work out the ancient/modern transition, but Stoic philosophy has interested me for some time, and I have admired aspects of Marcus Aurelius' character since reading A Pillar Of Iron probably more that 10 years ago. Wish you well!


message 119: by Morgan (new)

Morgan Wade | 6 comments Thanks Mary! It looks like A Pillar of Iron (I haven't read it) is perhaps more about Cicero than Marcus Aurelius (who came later, emperor from 161-180AD), but still an interesting read and certainly a fascinating time. Just about anything about ancient Rome is interesting!

Michelle Lowe (michellelowe7gmailcom) | 3 comments Hi everyone! It's really nice to find a place where writers can share their work and readers can browse. :)
I have a science fiction/fantasy titled The Warning. Here's a quick blurb.
The longest night in Nikolai Crowe’s life begins when he’s framed for murdering his ex-girlfriend, Jade Sho. To save himself, he must find the real killer without getting caught by crooked cops, who rather see him dead than captured. Nikolai believes the murderer is Jade’s own father, New York City Mayor Hiroshi Sho, who has orchestrated a dark plan to bring his vision of law and order over the entire country. Did the mayor arrange his daughter’s murder when she learned his secret, or is her blood painted on someone else’s hands? Luckily for Nikolai, he has help from a human clone identified as Alpha Replica 3007. This clone—and a band of others like him—have escaped their creator on Mill Rock Island. Now this particular clone is guiding Nikolia toward something Jade left for him before her death. What are the mayor’s plans? What did Jade hide, and how is it all linked?
The Warning is available via http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&r...
A free sample is also available for anyone interested.

Nina Whyle | 4 comments I don't get much free time to write but I love it so and hopefully one day I can change all that and write full time. In the meantime I write mostly on a Sunday and it took me a bunch of Sundays to write my debut novel followed by my second book, which I will launch 20th January 2012. I released my debut novel on Kindle and Smashwords in September this year but as an unknown I find myself struggling to spread the word and reach out to new readers so I thank you for the opportunity to promote my book here. For December and January I've reduced the price of my book to 86p / 99c leading up to the release of my second book Fighting Love on 20th Janaury 2012.

Sean McMahon (sean_macca) | 1 comments Hello all

I've been lurking around this forum for while, and now think it's time to draw you attention to my debut novel, Dark Remains, which was released over the weekend. Good luck and success to all pursuing your literary dreams.

Here' a brief blurb and a few links:

London, 1842. England is in turmoil and one young woman must carry the demands of both the living and the dead.

After the death of her mother and imprisonment of her revolutionary father, thirteen-year-old Maggie Power is plunged into a world of poverty and violence. Promising to protect her younger brother - come what may - she scavenges upon the mudflats of the Thames, haunted by the constant shadows of hunger and disease. That is, until a chance encounter with a charitable countess, who rescues her from the brutal streets of 19th century London.

But Maggie’s troubles are just beginning. For the rich life presented to her by the mysterious countess comes at a dreadful price. Slowly she realises she must free herself of the influence of her benefactor - whose dark motives are revealed over the course of the turbulent summer of 1842.

A suspenseful, historical mystery, Dark Remains takes the reader on a journey through the dark heart of early Victorian London.

“Fine characterization...and skilled pacing make this a real page-turner.” Publishers Weekly on this 2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Semi Finalist.

Dark Remains - Amazon UK

Dark Remains - Smashwords (20% sample)

Thanks. I will try and keep up with this thread a little more - now I've summoned up the courage to publish (and be damned!).

By the way, I'm having difficulty linking my book to my profile. Any suggestions?

I have a Smashwords page, and if you like military thrillers, romance, or erotic shorts, come on over. I'll also be putting up a FREE sci-fi titled "Space Crazy" which is part one of a trilogy.

As always, I appreciate feedback and reviews- I'll even give away coupons if you would kindly do a review.

http://www.smashwords.com/profile/vie...

I also have a blog: http://sturgeoncreek.blogspot.com/ which is not always about writing- I also run a 100 acre farm, and things can get interesting there.

Thanks so much for having this group, I hope to wander back this way more often.

Cheers,

Sean Ahern | 1 comments Hi everyone, my name is Sean Ahern and I'm generally very terrible with self-promotion, so I'm trying to figure all this stuff about getting myself "out there" out.
I finished my first novel, "What it Tastes Like to be Sane" in the spring, and published it in the summer, and failed to tell most anybody about it, so I'm working on rectifying that. It's a sort of surrealistic sci-fi/comedy, in the vein of someone like Vonnegut or Douglas Adams.

Here's a review, if that helps with any explanations:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

That's the only one so far, but of course that's something I'd like to increase. I've put it up for free download, and I'll put that link in here too. Unfortunately I have to charge for physical copies, but I'm more concerned about people just finding out and reading and not so much about profit. So, here's the link to the free download:

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this, and furthermore, read any bit of my work, and I look forward to any feedback I might receive.

Julia is a close friend of mine and is currently on vacation but I thought I would share her book as it's currently available for under a dollar. My company helped produce the book trailers for her book and she has a day job that helps finance her self publishing venture with Saint Sanguinus a Dark Ages Superhero Vampire Love Story. The trailers were a lot of fun to make - we used a green screen and dropped in photos that suited Julia's taste. Julia's husband stars in it as a Vampire overlord (he has no words) :-) but I wanted to share her story. She has a passion for the Arts especially ballet and came to writing years and years ago. Saint Sanguinus started out as a Nanowrimo book years ago and turned into a self publishing dream she had where she could set her own deadlines and put her own voice out there. Thanks for taking the time to check it all out! Tara

Jeriel (jerielng) Hi, all!

I started writing years ago and published my first novel, The Syndicate, earlier this year. Just recently I released my second novel, Moonlight Metropolis.

As described in the novel's synopsis:
"One of the most cultured societies in the city, the Commonwealth has encouraged the masses to adopt its philosophical views for over a decade. As it reaches the peak of its existence, however, its very own leader soon plunges into the depths of psychological trauma.

Determined to preserve his marriage, Arthur Copeland sends his closest companion to hunt down the man who has been cheating with his wife. But when Julian Baxter discovers that his target is none other than his own brother, he must decide if blood is indeed thicker than water.

As Julian fulfills his tasks, a sense of nostalgia begins to sink into his soul. However, he soon realizes that, if he so chooses to abandon his assignment, his career shall fall to ruins. Over time, Julian struggles between dwelling in the past and working for the future, as he asks himself, can his personal desires truly triumph over his professional endeavors?"

It's available here at Amazon both in print and on the Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Moonlight-Metro...

Hope you guys will be able to check it out! I'll really appreciate it!


message 135: by Hippasus (new)

Hippasus I have written a short story in the form of a fable. I would love to discuss it if anyone finds it interesting.

329: a fable $0.99

The atoms that compose your body were around long before you were born and will remain long after you're dead. Their brief sojourn with you is a tiny episode within their life in this universe. This short story traces the path of a single hydrogen atom from the Big Bang to the edge of the universe. If we could ask an atom to recount its adventures perhaps this is the story it would tell.

This is a short story of about 4600 words. 

Excerpt:

"There were still other particles in this universe besides us protons. We called them the short life particles because they would spring into existence and then decay in only a few short trillionths of a second. 329 and I would often watch as they quickly appeared and then vanished, leaving faint bursts of light all around us. Whenever we drifted a bit from the crowd we could see them even more clearly and it was quite beautiful. It was said that none of us protons would live forever, and that one day each of us would decay as the short life particles did. Decay was a random process, meaning no proton could know the exact moment of their own decay. All we could do was hope that it would not happen for a very long time. In fact I wasn't quite convinced it would ever happen. No one had ever actually seen a proton decay, and so perhaps we would live forever."

Are angels actually astronauts from another part of the galaxy? Where did Amelia Earhart disappear to? Was she part of a World War II covert operation? Who are the Grays? What are their roles in the fabric of the universe? Who are the Archs? Galactic beings or synthetic creations? Were Michelangelo and Mozart given their extraordinary abilities by a higher celestial being? All these questions will be answered in "Enoch and the Stars Above" a science fiction thriller that will make you think twice about the surrounding world we live in today.

I look forward to hearing from you all. Take care and have a Happy New Year!!! 2012, the year of the independent author!!!

Terry Huebner (TerryHuebner) | 5 comments Three strands of hair ... two drops of blood ... one thumbprint ... an embittered law professor ... a decade-old indiscretion … an autographed Louisville Slugger – mix these all together in a stew of secrets, lies and promises kept and broken and you have the “Law School Murder”, the next big media case of the moment, and the subject of Final Exam, the first of the Benjamin Lohmeier series of legal thrillers.

Shortly after New Years, the shattered body of Professor Daniel Greenfield is found on the floor of his office at the almost-deserted Chicago College of Law. The police question and ultimately charge one of Greenfield’s former students, Megan Rand, now living a quiet life as a mother and appellate court clerk. She calls her friend, Benjamin Lohmeier, a former Chicago prosecutor now stuck in a repetitive civil practice out in the suburbs, and begs for help. With the media circus swirling around him, Ben unravels old mysteries and confronts unseen enemies as he searches for Daniel Greenfield’s killer. Was it a spouse bent on revenge? A colleague harboring long-held resentments? Another of Greenfield’s students? Or could it even have been Megan herself, fueled by a secret of her own?

Bryn Hammond (brynhammond) Glad to meet you people. I've indie epubbed mine. After short attempts to find an agent, but... my sentiments were indie, and I was scared I'd have to make alterations, against my artistic judgement. And I have unusual or unexpected things hard to get past an agent and publisher - or so I feared. Worst perhaps, publicity?? - I'm shy. I'm happy as an indie, anyway.

Mine's through Smashwords. Historical fiction on the Mongols. But definitely different; I go the dodgy slogan, 'Genghis Khan - not as you know him'.

Andre SanThomas (andresanthomas) | 2 comments My books are erotica. BDSM with strong dominant males and gloriously submissive females. If that's your thing (or it seems even a little interesting), you might like the Realm of Janos Series-

These two are set in the Realm of Janos, a far away world where a strong, loving relationship forms between owners and their property.

Or, in modern times and our world, the Sensual Submission series with-

Peggy Henderson (peggyhenderson) | 3 comments I am currently writing a historical romance series called the Yellowstone Romance Series. It is set in the Rocky Mountains of the early 1800's, where Yellowstone National Park is today. I wrote the first book in the series, Yellowstone Heart Song, three years ago, and finally decided to publish this January. I never intended it to become a series, but I came up with the idea for a second book, called Yellowstone Redemption, which is also published. I am soon to publish Book 3, Yellowstone Awakening, and am currently writing Book4 , Yellowstone Dawn. Each book can be read as a stand alone.
