Hi Mark,
Well I've finally uploaded three chapters of my book. I'd really appreciate some feedback if you could take a look for me. I'm looking forward to getting my copy of Hell's Super ;)

Hi Mark,
That's good, I'm more of a print fan than ebook book reader.
Hehe, so it's work, work, work then with your next book. I intend to self publish for a start so I can take my time, I have 3 books firmly in mind and I'll write them even if no-one picks them up. They've been cluttering my mind for over 6 years now and I'm slowly getting them on paper just so there's room in my brain for other stuff!

Hey Mark,
I'm so glad you're being published, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. It reminds me a lot of Robert Rankin in his early work which I really love, he seems to have fizzled out a bit in recent years so to find your book was really exciting AND for it to be part of a series is even better!!!
I assume that I'll be able to order it online?
Can't wait to read it completely, I've been looking for a new author for ages.

Well congrats on Hell's Super. No big deal with the friend request. Good luck to you!

I'm so happy for you!
I know HELL'S SUPER will go far. You will put that reviewer to shame. I can't wait to get a copy of your book. Good Luck Mark! (not that you'll really need it.)

Hello Mark, that's great news about your book - and a lightening quick rebound from your unenthusiastic Harper's Review. I look forward to seeing it out there. I have had queries out on my book and so far have received six rejects. Time will tell.

Thanks for your continuing support - it means a lot to me. Keep well and enthusiastic,

Ciao for now,
Ayton

Hello. How are you? I would appreciate to switch comments and feedback with you! Would you be able to do the same? If you want to read the rest of the book....it is finished and on Kindle and paperback on Amazon.com. Proceeds are going to mental health facilities and burn survivors. Would you support? I am so blessed to be able to help others with my story. I hope I will be able to stop even just one person from doing something drastic like I did. I will put your book on my wl and comment:)God bless!Bethany.

Woot! I'd do a BOOH dance but I have a cat in my lap. I love your book, and I wish you much success!

Very cool. I'm jealous! Ha. I'm a Collection Management librarian and Cataloger at UNH Law (along w/ occasional metadata). I enjoy my career but long for the life of a successful freelance writer.

Thanks, Mark. And congratulations!

Hi Mark. Not sure how to do a review on this site, but I gave you 5 Stars (I almost never give 6 unless a book is complete). Not sure yet what the larger plot will be in this book, but it is one of the most original things I have ever read, and I want to read the rest! I hope this has been accepted by a publisher. If you get a chance, I hope you will check out Hearth: Exile as well. It, too, is not complete (though I have completed it outside of this site). About 22,000 wds. here. Anyway, fantastic book and talented writing from yourself. Thanks!

excellent book published.

Hi Mark,
You were kind enough to give some positive comments on one of my earlier books, And All Things Between, so I hope I’m not being too forward in asking you to take a look at my new book, In Favour of Fools.
Thanks
John

No problem, Mark. You have an original view on things and a unique sense of the absurd; kind of a Monty Python meets Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy with a touch of South Park, though I could be wrong on that last one just because your premise reminds me of their version of Satan's Hell. Anyway, good stuff. Cheers!

Ah well - you can let the great public decide direct to market - that's the answer. Good luck!

Hi Mark - I hate it when people say "That wasn't a bad review - lots of positives in there." And all I can see are the inaccuracies and superficial readings and patronising know-it-all tone of the dying remnants of traditional publishing.

But...

I thought there were some pretty +ve things in there!

I understand, Mark. Thanks very much for getting in touch with me. Take care!
