Hello ,

Hope you are well. Maybe you would like to try out my new satire, Doghouse Blues. 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

Hi Pavese

I see from your profile that you are working on a children's book for 10 - 14 year olds. I have a slightly younger age group book uploaded on here. Let me know when yours in on the site and I'll be happy to do a read swap.

Best wishes

Dear Pavese

Thanks for backing and/or commenting on 'Damaged Goods', but I'm going to take it off the site later today. It reached the top 100, with 45+ backers, and I gained some useful and encouraging feedback from readers, so I think that's as good as it is going to get for me unless I spend hours on forums or spamming for new readers, which I'm not inclined to do. I want to spend time now adding new stories and polishing those already there, before I launch it as an ebook, or place stories with individual mobile publishers. I'll stay on the site as a reader and giving support to writers whose work I have enjoyed reading. I'll also continue to maintain the 'Rise of the Short Story' forum thread.

Thanks again & best regards

Colin

The death of 29 years old son, made me decide to write the story of my life. It is very hard to, but it is too intense not to. Please check it out: Too much life". I need feedback and some help to reach a publishing company. Thank you

Hey there, Pavese. My new 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.

If you're looking for a new book to read and back, I’d be honored if you’d consider No Kiss Good-bye. It’s unlike any other story on authonomy – one that you’ll live and feel with all your senses. It’s my true-life story of escaping communist Romania along switchbacks that eventually led to America.

Here’s the link: http://www.authonomy.com/books/39263/no-kiss-good-bye. Thank you and of course, I will return reads!

Hi Pavese
I see you are currently writing a book aimed at 10 + and haven't uploaded it yet. I wondered if you'd be interested in looking at my book, Shadow Jumper. It is for the same age group (I think!). I would appreciate your thoughts on it. No worries if you aren't interested - I just thought I'd ask. Let me know when you do upload your work and I'd be happy to take a look.
All the best

Hi Pavese,

“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.

Cheers,

Hi, Pavese. With the new month comes changes in shelves, so 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.

Pav,
Welcome back and thanks for backing both books.
I'm still plugging away trying to get NYCD right - it would be interesting to get your take on the updates but wait a while because I'm going to make changes over the next three weeks.
How's the book going?
