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--

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

Hello Ms. Abate:

“An Unfinished Innocence” explores adulterous alcoholic substance-abusing schizophrenic author/academic/columnist and inadvertent serial killer, Brendan Dogge, and his search for redemption with the help of a small boy and a three-legged dog. A typical love story.

title: An Unfinished Innocence
Author: j.l. wood-miller

You just might laugh!

Take care,

Hi Allison,

If you have some time maybe, a couple of books either of which for you to offer your support to if you find some interest in them. 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/

- "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”

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

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

- "once I started it grabbed hold of me"

- "like a meditation"


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,

Allison,
I'm messaging the top talent spotters to ask for your support of Titanic: Rose Dawson's Story. The film is scheduled for rerelease in three dimensions in April of 2012, a hundred years since the disaster. I could use your help to reach the editor's desk in time for my novelization to be published prior to the rerelease of Titanic.

Hey Allison,

Once again, my apologies for the spam email; I do not know of any other way to contact the premiere readers on authonomy.

That being said, please take a few minutes to peruse Snow Bound. The chapters are short, easy to read, and quite engrossing. For those of you who have read and commented on my previous work, Prestidigitations, this is a continuation of the Tales of Sarah, tho' in Snow Bound you will find her story to be darker, more intense, and the fantasy element to be much more intriguing.

One recent comment: "I honestly don't want to read anymore...I don't want to ruin...no that's not the right word....I want to buy it and savour it. This is right up my alley! Poetic...you know what you're doing sir! Action packed...full of surpises...Let me know when this one is published. I'll be in line! For now, you get 6 stars and a spot on my shelf!"

Thank you, in advance, for any shelving; support, stars, comments, feedback you are able to provide!

Best to you,
Justis Call
Snow Bound

Bad guy excerpt from The Governess:

Chapter 64:
She was an amazing creature.

He did not think himself able to sell her…ever! She was all the prize he had ever wanted.

She would satisfy him.

He would shortly see to that!

The captain knew of the arrangement made between Mr. Stone and Lord Pembrooke, and so Mr. Stone knew that he could have her at any time. Slapping his hands together, he rubbed them in anticipation of his conquest. He would sleep a happy man tonight!

But it is only midday…

With purpose, he made his way to the prisoner cabins, having reserved a special place for her. Taking out his master key, he unlocked the last door. He entered to find her beautiful form lying on the bunk facing the wall.

She started to say something while turning over—and froze—terror instantly upon her face. He reveled in it! Without taking his eyes from her, he quietly closed the door and locked it behind him. Carefully depositing the key into his pocket, he tapped it securely with great satisfaction showing upon his face, relishing in her fear.

Gazing at her longingly, he quietly said, “Now do not look at me like that! You’ll make me feel just awful, Lady Blakemore…or may I call you Carly…” he grinned a hungry, lustful grin at her. “Hello again.”

In Grant’s 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. How could an eight-year-old possibly know that? Malcolm abducted Christopher to share a secret—the same secret that has defiled the town's reputation for over a hundred years.

Can you please stick me on your W/L and when you have time give my book a read?

Hiya

I hope you’re doing well. You may have received a message from me recently explaining how whilst editing, I lost all of my backers and dropped like a stone. However, with the help of some lovely fellow writers on the site I have regained my position and then some. Currently around the 50 mark, I was really hoping to make a big push towards the ED this month. It would appear that the only way to do so is to gain more support! (Moving up is a hideous crawl right now) So I am humbly asking for your help. If you could spare the time, I would be really grateful if you could check out my novel ‘The Awakening.’ If you find it to be worthy of your support I would be really grateful if you could shelve it for as long as you see fit. (Also any feedback/comments you have would be much appreciated). As always, I will make a note of anyone who helps me and vow to return the favour as soon as I am able. If you would prefer not to, I completely understand and wish you all the best, both on the site and otherwise.

Many thanks

Stuart

p.s. If I have already sent you this message, or (embarrassing), you are already backing me, I sincerely apologise and invite you to banish it from your inbox. :-)

Hi Allison,

Picture this - the ironing pile is neglected, the washing up overflows the sink, the kids are left to forage leftover Christmas chocolate for their tea and an air-kiss in his general direction is all hubby can expect in bed...

This is Brenda's* story after she discovered Her Soul To Keep! Luckily for her, although a thumping good romp through romance, the after-life, a mysterious death and many love triangles, it was also a quick read. The next day the ironing was ironed, the washing up washed, the kids fed and her husband...well, let's just say he forgave her!

If, like Brenda, you're willing to take a chance on Her Soul To Keep, then please check it out.

Swap reads happily undertaken,

Kerry M

Hi Allison,

Thank you for shelving "Savannah Fire." I'm grateful for your support.

Do you have any suggestions on how I might improve it?

Have a superb day.

Al

CarolinaAl wrote 807 days ago   

Hi Allison,

You backed "Savannah Passion" in the past. Thank you for that. It made the editor's desk in December. I have a new book posted.

I'm here looking for your consideration of "Savannah Fire," a contemporary southern suspense I posted on Authonomy three months ago and have recently revised.

Would you please review "Savannah Fire" critically and see if it meets your criteria for inclusion on your Authonomy bookshelf?

There is no reward for shelving "Savannah Fire" other than the satisfaction of knowing you are supporting a quality book on the Authonomy list.

I hope you and your loved ones are having a sensational year.

Al

Once upon a time you were kind enough to back my book Apocalypse Then. After one year on the site and nearly 700 reviews I have accepted many of the suggestions (sometimes, I admit, through gritted teeth) and the work is fully edited. I believe Apocalypse Then is now ready for the desk. If you belive this to be so please consider placing it on your desk. All the best DD ;o)

Dear Allison,
Quite a while ago, we commented on and backed each others books. I'm sure you are getting a deluge of requests, but I'm wondering if you would be willing to star rate and back my book? I would greatly appreciate it.

fh wrote 950 days ago   

Dear Allison,
Good Morning! I wonder if you would care to take another look at my novel – The Assassins Village– a murder mystery/historical fiction set in Cyprus?
I have been delighted with the response from readers, and the chance to make the Editor’s Desk this month. With this new system, a book has to be on the most shelves at once to survive. At present, I’m on the least shelves of all the top five, so without more support, I’m afraid I’ll be dropping off.
I hate having to ask, but your very kind support might be the only way to keep The Assassins’ Village on the desk. The whole month would be fantastic, but I understand that there are many great books here that we’d all love to support. So anything would help – please.
I appreciate everyone is plaguing you with requests but at position number 5 my place is not guaranteed and I would hate to miss this opportunity. I plan to stay active on Authonomy long after November (3rd book to come), so I’ll make sure I can support your work in the future. Thank you again for your support.
Many, many thanks and best wishes,
Faithx

Thank you so much for backing me. I really appreciate all the support. Looking forward to reading your book. : )

Benjamin Dancer wrote 955 days ago   

Allison Abate,

If you’re like me, you crave feedback on your stories. So if there’s a particular chapter you’d like feedback on, please let me know. I’d love to be of service. If I’ve already offered feedback, name another chapter.

I thought I’d try following the site’s intention and not over-rotate my shelf. We’ll see how that goes. So I’m offering my intellect and readership over my backings. The point is, I could really use your help to stay on the editor’s desk and keep my number 1 position. If you think my writing is worthy of the valuable space, I’d be grateful if you’d hold Fidelity for a time on your shelf. Thank you.

Hi. Would you mind revisiting my book, Lickety Split, and giving it a star rating (whatever you deem appropriate)? Have down the same for you.
