Hi
Since you have some literary fiction in your shelf, you might enjoy my book, Inevitable. Can I tempt you to take a look?

Rachel, the Harper Collins site administrator, has just nominated my novel, 'The Poet' as this week's 'One To Watch'. Can I interest you in taking a look?

Here's the link to Rachel's blog in case you're interested:

Many thanks. Andrew

I've been doing well. Working on rewrites of the book I have posted here, and just wrote a novella for NaNoWriMo (not 50k, but I'm done, nonetheless). I'll probably post it here, just for shits and giggles. I don't have high expectations of this place anymore. LOL

Once I finish the rewrites for Lightstorm, I'll be querying it, but I'm dying to get back to my historicals. You know how it is. Same ol', same ol'. I may need your email address again, though. I can't find it in my contacts list. *sniff*

Are you going to be back here more often? Or just peeking in now and then?

Love in Truffles,
N

HEYYYYYYY! How've you been, Charlie Brown? I got a new name (I left impulsively, then decided to come back with a new book. Sigh). I see your book is finally going to be published. Keep me posted--you remember my email, right? I want a copy when it's available. So good to see you! xx♥x♥

Hi,

Thanks

It's not exactly common knowledge that Albert Einstein's brain was stolen during his autopsy in 1955. Even fewer know his brain was dissected into two-hundred-forty pieces and that several of those pieces were given to doctors across the country and around the world.

Read the pitch for my sci-fi/fantasy fiction, Albert: A Gray Matter, inspired by the facts above, and if you're interested, please read the first chapter, (it's very short, only three pages on Word), and drop me a comment if you liked it or not. It's the one chapter I've been struggling with. Thank you. :)

Hello

You were one of the many people who commented on ‘Adventures in Homebrewing’ in the past. Thanks to your support, I had the confidence to submit it to a publisher – The Good Life Press, who accepted it. So, many thanks for that.

The book, with its new title ‘Ben’s Adventures in Winemaking’ is now (this week) available to buy – from the publisher, in shops or online – both in the UK and the USA.

And please forgive the spam-ness of this message

Hullo there. My manuscript's on the Ed's Desk this month and I was hoping you might find it worthy of your support now so it can stay within the top 5. If not, can you please take a look at the other authors on my bookshelf and those I'm promoting on my website? Many, many talented writers here!

CHEERS to you and best wishes--
E.R.

Hi

Sorry for pitching you but Iv'e come to realize its an unavoidable part of the process, so I'm trying to get some practice.

If your looking for laugh out loud, entertainment; tempered with penetrating insights and deeply touching moments. Not to mention a plethora of incredibly uncomfortable incidents in between; I suggest you read a few chapters of Radical Awakening.

I warn you though my sense of humour is absolutely outrageous and entirely unsuitable for the easily offended.

Cheers Michael

Hullo there. I'm still a reader on this site scouting for new authors to promote on my webbie, but I've uploaded a manuscript now as well. If you decide not to back it can you also take a look at the other books on my shelf? Many excellent writers here!

CHEERS--
E.R.

Hi X,

Help ‘A Killer’s Kind’ stay on the desk.... In Grants Pass, an eight-year-old boy is kidnapped and forced to live with the serial killer that murdered his family..

Christopher was all set to live a normal life, but he didn’t know he’d lose his father and then a sociopath would murder the rest of his family. Malcolm abducted Christopher to share a secret—the same secret that has defiled the town's reputation for over a hundred years

Kathy Locke is completely unaware that the town’s secret connects her to Christopher. She's too busy trying to get away from a mother that buries herself in drugs and alcohol to avoid the truth. In a drunken rage, she lashes out at Kathy who ends up in the Emergency Room, where a sympathetic doctor uncovers the family's dirty secret.

A Killer's Kind is a Psychological Thriller about a boy and his courage to outwit the man that shattered his life.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.


Cheers,
Dwayne

Hi Xemxi
Since some of the books on your shelf have a romantic edge, you might be interested in mine...
It's partly set in DC, if that helps!

Dear Barry

Great news. That is not far away and 'The Sulphur Cure' will almost certainly now be the first Authonomy book to feature on a real shelf in my home. I am plodding along, but sometimes taking one step forward and two backward. I'm not sure I'll ever make it to the ED and I don't intend spamming like so many do around here. An experienced HF writer has been going through my manuscript and I am going to start seriously searching for an agent in the autumn. Have you let the authonomy community in general know? It encourages people around here to hear of success as most HC crits are still of the ' this shows potential but needs a lot of work and we 're not taking you on' type. Anyway, I am delighted for you.

best wishes

Brian .

Hey, sorry if I've told you the one about the Lunatic before - check it out if I haven't, but there's a Romance going on too now!

:/

I’m very sorry if I’ve previously messaged you, but I’ve had one of those glitches that wipes out backers and watchlists. I lost nearly 60 backers and over 100 watchlists and can’t find most of my old backers as they backed me over 2 months ago and the RSS feeds don’t go back that far..

If I was on your watchlist or if you backed me before I would greatly appreciate your support again for - The Lunatic Sings - or if you’d take a look at it if it’s new to you.


THE LUNATIC SINGS

- "like a William S. Burroughs novel with a point"

- "Deftly imitating waves of consciousness"

- "the reader glides through … It’s like dancing in someone’s mind"

- "You should be a playwright as this should be spoken"

- "like a meditation" – “A breathtaking concept”

- “… glorious driving rhythms of the syntax. It's prose that has an inner music that almost compels us to speak it aloud.”

- “Out of the mouth of this one comes reflections of both humanity and sanity.”


If you’ve considered Lunatic before I’ve put up a very different book recently too, a Romance, so rather than spam you for a read for that in the future, and maybe as an antidote if I’ve messaged you before for Lunatic, you might like to take a look at ‘The Book of Esther’.


THE BOOK OF ESTHER

- “I found this mesmerizing”

- “I love the way your words allow us to connect with your emotions, the way they compel us to reminisce about our own experiences, and the way they capture both happiness and sadness so perfectly.”

- “I can tell you already that I love it. …the lover and the beloved. Your story reminds me of how beautiful and yet painful both of those roles can be.”


Thank you,

John

Hi Xemxi2535,

A couple of books either of which for you to maybe lend your support to. Both fall into the Literary Fiction category but are at the same time quite different, and hopefully rewarding, reads.


By John Doe,


* The Lunatic Sings *
http://www.authonomy.com/books/30880/the-lunatic-sings/

- "has a very Fight Club vibe"

- "like a William S. Burroughs novel with a point"

- "Deftly imitating waves of consciousness"

- "the reader glides through … It’s like dancing in someone’s mind"

- "a singular foray into the past to reclaim the best part of it”

- "like a meditation"

- "once I started it grabbed hold of me"

- "one is compelled to know more about this man"


And by Winston Emerson


* A Circle in the Woods *
http://www.authonomy.com/books/28372/a-circle-in-the-woods/

- "there is a style and use of language that borders on mesmerizing"

- "an incredible piece of writing"

- “very strong and maintains an anticipatory tension”

- “I devoured five chapters at a sitting with much satisfaction”

- “I think this is the sort of writing that wins literary prizes”

- “fantastic piece of work”

- “masterful composition of an exciting story”


Regards,

John

HI Xemxi,
Here's a fun promo thread for WTPG from a friend of ours.

Be well.

I would love to get your feedback on A Killer's Kind. When you have some time, could please stop by and give it a read? Christopher's an eight year old boy that's being held captive by a sadistic man, named Malcolm. He doesn't want to kill the boy...he just wants someone to follow in his footsteps...a protege.

Cheers,
Dwayne
