Hi Authonomy Friends! I have gone from #16 to #21 in the last four days. Bad news for those of us trying to get to the Editor’s Desk and free review. (Update: Thankfully, because of many of you responding to this message, I am now at #19. Help me finish my journey, please.)

For those of you who would be willing to bookshelf me for the long-haul, I would appreciate it very much. Star-rating is also important. This last stretch is difficult, even with so many of you already supporting me.

If not interested, I thank you anyway for reading my message. Good luck with your own work. I am always happy to support you as well. :) I plan on being here for some time, and I have been writing down who has backed me so that I can return the favor. I will remember... :)

I’d also love feedback on my new book cover. Thanks! ;)

Have a great week!

since you encouraged my book in the past, i was hoping you'd find a spot for me on your shelf:

Could I interest you in taking a look at my novel, A Shamrock On The Prairie? It’s the story of Katie Sullivan who at the end of the 19th century emigrates from Ireland to Kansas. Follow her story as she steps into a world of tornados, harvest festivals and patent medicine shows.

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!

Hi JW,

Luminous Dark, currently ranked at 4 on the authonomy chart, is a novel about a young man who comes to Russia to kill himself and about the people who get in his way.

"Three hundred pages? I'm not reading that!"
-the author's mother

I'm trying to stay on the desk of course but I'm not asking after blind backings, just letting people know about the book so they can do with that what they like.

Best regards,

Ross

Congratulations. Thanks to all of us keeping Walk to Paradise Garden on our shelves for the long haul, it’s being selected for review by HarperCollins in the number one slot this month! I’ve got a good feeling that a novel of that quality will be something they’ll decide to publish, and I wish author John B Campbell all the best in that respect.

With a little shelf space clearing up, I wanted to recommend Echo by author Raechel Bailey Kolb, a book I thoroughly enjoyed. It’s a skillfully paced and well-researched tale filled with myths and legends that creep through the American Southwest. What happens when ordinary people and their trusty horses have to face these horrors? We get treated to compelling accounts of intertwined stories that are as unique as the colorful landscape of Arizona’s Painted Desert.

For something a bit different, I would humbly ask that you take a look at Old Number Seven, a tale of heroism and sacrifice based on the many heartbreaking and uplifting events I experienced while reporting on Hurricane Katrina as it drowned a great American city.

Hi JW,

Well, it looks like John's excellent book is going to make the editor's desk this month. I see you've supported his book for quite sometime. "Walk to Paradise Garden" has been on my shelf for six months. I can't wait to read the HC review.

As we approach the end of the month, I hope you'll keep "Savannah Fire" in mind when you reshuffle your bookshelf.

Have a fabulous day.

Hi J.W. I was reading profiles to see who might like my book and came across your page. I am astounded and would give anything for you to take a look at a chapter or two of my book, A PLACE IN LIFE, and give me an honest critique. Most people hold back because they want a good one back. Since you don't have a book posted yet I would value your comments.

In any event, many thanks for your time.

Hi there,
I hope you don’t mind me sending you a message out of nowhere but I don’t know how else to attract attention here. I notice you have some fun chick lit on your shelf and I was hoping you might like to take a peek at some more. Suddenly Strangers is my attempt at light hearted chick lit, but there’s some funny bits in there too so I don’t completely scare away the guys. It starts with a birth but so did we. Of course, if you would rather not look that’s completely understandable. Thanks for reading this message.

PS Apologies in advance if (A) you hate spam
Or (B) You’ve already offered some time to the book (cringe)

Hello J.W.,

Literary fiction pushed to its limits in a strangely comic tale of a stranger intellect:

My online excerpt from “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. And a singular dancer, Charlotte Camarina.

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

You just might laugh!

Take care,
-j.l. wood-miller

Hi JW,

Want a fast-paced, original, really fun read? If Carl Hiaasen and The Office had a baby, it might look something like ANIMAL CRACKER.

Can a bunch of smart, sassy women get the goods on their boss at Boston’s venerable Animal Protection Agency? Hal Mason is Brad-Pitt handsome, with a Harvard professor wife and an adorable but shiftless son who wins the heart of Diane Salvi, the organization’s new communications director and the book’s narrator.

The malapropping, narcissistic Hal, famous for his animal-themed ties and jokes, has managed to earn the adulation of the organization’s board of directors and the scorn of his staff. When his negligence leads to the dog poop literally hitting the fan, Diane and her reporter roommate Genie set out to dig up some dirt on him, with a little help from friends in the office.

There's never a bad time for a fun read in which the good guys (or gals) wreak vengeance on a conniving boss who deserves no less.

Thanks for considering Animal Cracker, and I happily swap reads.

All my best,
Andi
P.S. I'm hanging onto the editor's desk by a thread. Your support would mean a lot right now, AND you have empty space on your shelf. Thanks again for considering.

Dear J.W.

Even if you have backed it before, I would be honored if Chasing Pharaohs earns a place on your shelf. It is a Historical Fiction book set in ancient Egypt.

Pitch: Three warriors battle an enemy unlike any other. A shadow that outwits all shadows - a thief in the night to cast down kings.

Intent on protecting his dynasty, Pharaoh Kheper-Re assembles a powerful trinity. A bowman from the black kingdoms, a scribe and interpreter of dreams from Yisrael, and a swordsman from the delta region. The three fighters must rid themselves of a powerful adversary whose black eye burns with hatred and whose spirit lives in the Khamāsīn.

Thank you so much!

Chasing Pharaohs

hi, didn't see anything up, usually don't ask for someone to read a piece of mine if i don't take a look at something of their's, if you have the time could you give 'the sound not heard" a look, i would apprectiate it, best wishes

Hello J.W. My name is H.Welsh or just'H' for short. I read your profile and saw that you give honest critique. I wondered if you could take a look at my book'Jonny Dark'. It is doing quite well in the charts and I've had a lot of positive criticism. I could do with a little more help in the way of backing or star rating. If it's not your cup of tea then i fully understand but I would still value your opinion. Thanks for your time, Sincerely yours,'H'.

J.W.,

I read your story--liked the details and the trajectory of the narrative. As a short-short story, it works. And I think it's the right length. It could not be drawn out into a novel or even a novella.

Bill

J.W. Thanks, I will check it out now! All the best, Jean

Hi JW,

You commented favorably on "Savannah Fire" two months ago and suggested less 'telling.'. Thank you for that.

"Savannah Fire" is now one of the top ten books on Authonomy and, with sufficient support, has a shot at the top five.

Would you please take another look at the heavily revised version now posted on Authonomy and, if you deem it worthy, keep it in mind when you next reshuffle your bookshelf?

Thank you for your consideration.

Have a fabulous day.

Al

Dear

Chinua Achebe - Africa's most prominent writer in his book and Things Fall Apart [as I indicated in my "about me" that the Bible and Things Fall Apart are my favorite books ] said, "The lizard that jumped from the high iroko tree to the ground said he would praise himself if no one else did."


"Julius your writing is strong and impassioned. It is my sincere hope that whatever good you seek for your country may it be found soon. ... Well written." - I say, "Amen" if Ugandans in particular, and Africans in general, no one does.

Be blessed.

Yours sincerely,

Julius B.
