Hello MadHatter,

Hope you are well. Maybe you would like to try out my new satire, Doghouse Blues. Happy to reciprocate with a swap read. Here is an endorsement:

I was attracted to Doghouse Blues from the pitch alone because it was so very different. There are so many budding writers out there who want to earn the same sort of money as J K Rowling by writing exactly the same kind of book and , to be frank, I am getting a bit tired of it.
This, on the other hand, struck me as being an original piece of work. The product of a lively mind and written by someone who is an excellent observer of the real world out there and who knows how to translate his observations into print. Just the right amount of dialogue, which carries the story along well.
I have not read the complete book (yet) but have dipped into it fairly freely to see if the momentum is maintained. It certainly is.
Philip John

Looking forward to reading your comments on the Doghouse Blues webpage.

All the best,

Clive

"The Prince and the Singularity – A Circular Tale" is a book with one big advantage, one only needs to read the first 40 lines to know whether one is going to like the story or not. If after the first 40 lines you're not hooked, no need to bother reading the rest.

Hello, my name is James Revino. I am the author of ‘Hollow.’ I was wondering if you might be able to take a look at my work and tell me what you think, good and bad. Any critique would be much appreciated, it is the best way to improve. Of course, if you wanted to back it, that would be great as well. Have a good day, and thanks for your time.

Dear friend, would you mind back and/or appraise/proofread a chapter (or part) of my book? I would appreciate.

Hey there, MadHatter. My investigative piece ‘THE CASE OF THE DROWNING MEN: Investigating the Smiley Face Serial Murder Theory’ will be featured this month in Crime Magazine, a leading resource for followers of true crime. I’ve also previewed it on Authonomy this week. You up for solving some murders…?

(And if you hate the book, then please consider backing the other truly excellent ones on my shelf—tons of talented writers on this site who could really use some extra support!)

Kind regards to you, and best wishes—
E.R.

Hi Mad Hatter. What a coincidence that you love critiquing, because I enjoy having my book critiqued :) I love constructive comments, and would be grateful if you could take a peek at my book, Fade, and let me know what you think. It is YA supernatural romance. Here is the link.

Period drama….historical fiction!
‘No way’ I hear you say ‘I wouldn’t read that, it’s not my thing’
……well then please read my book ‘Madeline’...it may change your mind.
She has stolen the hearts of both women and men on this site.
In just over two months is has quickly risen from obscurity to rank #5
If you are not hooked by the prologue, then by all means ditch it…
This is not a plea for you to back it, just read a bit and see what you think…trying to convince people that period drama isn’t all stuffy haha…
Best regards
David

I write with greetings and invitation to read a chapter or more of my memoir, INSIDE DEAD. Please leave comment and rate and put on your shelf if it deserve your backing. Thank you

Hi there - just extending the hand of friendship.

I'm still fairly new to the site, but I've found it to be a constructive and rewarding experience so far, though it does pay to have a thick skin sometimes.

Backing books, making friends – that seems to be the way to raise your profile, so here I am.

All the best, have a great day - Cas

PS: If you do happen to get the uncontrollable urge to look at either of my books, here are the links
http://authonomy.com/books/42586/slow-poison/
http://www.authonomy.com/books/42590/bloodstones/

Slow Poison is dark and brutal, Bloodstones is a gentler read and is the shorter of the two.

Warning: both of my books contain explicit sexual acts, frequent swearing and disturbing scenes of violence. Please do not read if you are of a sensitive nature or under age in your territory.

Hi MadHatter,

“Informers and blackmailers, phrenologists and dissectionists, lowlifes and murderers in early Victorian Dublin.”

I’d really appreciate it if you could have a look at the start of my first novel, The Morning Drop.

It's historical crime, but you might like it.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Hi, MadHatter. I'm messaging you about my book "Graffiti Heaven." It's set in New Zealand and follows the lives of a group of young people dealing with love, family, and tragedy. If you have time to check it out and deem it worthy of your shelf I'd greatly appreciate it as I'm planning on self-publishing it in August, and would love to get some editing tips from Harper Collins. Thank you for your time, Marita.

Hello!
I was wondering if you would be interested in taking a look at a book I recently posted. There are only three chapters so far but I'm looking for some good feedback.

A Night in Shining Armor
pitch:
Saralinka, the land where all magical creatures, dragons, pixies, ogres, werewolves, come from is in danger. The queen of the creatures has disappeared, only to be replaced by her three power hungry daughters. Their reign has brought destruction to the land. Only one, a young Havenear or protector of all magical creatures, is able to stop them. For she carries the Dragon Sword. But how can she when her memories are gone?

Thank you for the consideration
