Hello everyone!

I don't believe I've done one of these self-promotion threads since my last book was published back in 2012. With that said, I'm delighted to say my new book just went live last week. I will also include something about my other two books, because why not?

Beginning

($2.99 Kindle - $15.99 Trade Paperback. If you buy the paperback, you get the e-book for free.)

He hunted mammoths long ago.

He raised megaliths all over Western Europe.

He went to sea at the dawn of the Bronze Age in search of tin.

He performed with the world’s first magician.

He watched Icarus fall from the sky.

He played a small part in setting off the Trojan War.

All this and more happened to one man who has been alive since the last Ice Age. While waiting for a mysterious visitor who might be the death of him, he is dictating the stories of his life into a tape recorder. What will he say now that he is at last free to share the secrets his immortality has shown him?

Beginning is the first book in the Tape Recorder Trilogy, a journey through humanity’s past from before recorded history up to the twenty-first century. Starting with his first life in the Stone Age, Beginning sees our narrator move from life to life over the course of centuries as he wanders across Europe. The dawn of the Bronze Age inspires him to become a sailor and a merchant who travels throughout the Adriatic, Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean, and up into the Black Sea selling everything and anything but especially tin, the crucial metal that makes bronze possible.

Throughout his travels he meets people from all walks of life, some of whom go on to be the inspirations behind myths and legends that are still remembered today. It is his pleasure in the privacy of his own home to finally say what really happened all those years ago.

Inca

($3.99 Kindle - $15.99 Trade Paperback. If you buy the paperback, you get the e-book for free.)

Inca is the life story of Haylli Yupanki, a man who served three generations of emperors only to watch his whole world shatter and shatter again, leaving nothing behind but his memories and his pride. Hiding in the jungle with the last of the unsubjugated Inca, Haylli transcribes his memoirs from quipus –the Inca’s writing system of knotted string– into Spanish with the help of a captured priest. Beginning with a childhood of privilege and a youth spent as a fugitive from Imperial justice, through a successful career as the Inca’s most powerful bureaucrat, to an old age spent in the ruin of his life’s work, Haylli was present at all the important moments of his people. Through his words he hopes their story will be remembered. Fans of historical fiction can look forward to an epic family saga covering more than seventy years to include almost everything we know happened between the zenith and nadir of Inca power. More than two-thirds of the characters are based on real people, and every corner of the empire is visited over the course of the narrator’s life: The plot has court intrigue, forbidden loves, triumphs, tragedies, rivalries, heroes, monsters, coups, civil wars, prophecies, plagues, treasures, sex and violence –all before the conquistadors arrive to change everything forevermore.

Zulu

($2.99 Kindle - $15.99 Trade Paperback. If you buy the paperback, you get the e-book for free.)

Zulu is the story of a people who fought for their king, their herds, and each other against an empire that spanned the world. They almost won...

Mbeki and Ingonyama are the gifted sons of the blacksmith Jama. Their adventures at the royal court of King Cetshwayo draw them into the great events of a kingdom on the cusp of a golden age. There they meet Inyati, an exiled Matabele prince, and Nandhi, the daughter of a northern baron. Their unlikely friendship promises a life of peace and plenty, but their future is darker than they could ever imagine. Through love triangles and power struggles, boxing matches and elephant hunts, brush fires and battles, they are witnesses to the astonishing true story of an iron age pastoral civilization that held off a quarter of the world for six agonizing months before their whole world collapsed into ashes and dust.

Hey everybody, this is the first volume in what will be a continuing project. I started out using poetry as a basic excercise to loosen up before diving into the other projects i have going on but i figured why not also put this to good use. My aim was to keep each volume short but to offer something any reader can come back to if they like. I tried to keep my poems fairly open ended so they can be relatable and enjoyed by a wider audience. Today, the 20th, will be the last day of the free promotion period on amazon and thanks to my other posts around here i have gotten a good push on downloads and some great feedback. Once the price goes back to .99 id like to continue the trend of atill grabbing some orders every day but more importantly id love to get feedback from readers so i can continue to shape this project into something everyone can enjoy.

JADE

The color of spring that lifts high my heart

the winter now passed, in due its part

I have no hold to keep you in tow

and like my favorite season, you'll come as you go


Jade is a collection of poems written during the year 2018. I began writing them in the middle of Spring, at a time in which I was quickly falling in love. As time passes, so do many of the joys we experience and so it is with love. As quickly as well fell together, we fell apart, and that theme is introduced and reintroduced throughout.

The work also contains a number of nature themes inspired by imagery on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A fair amount is also expressed concerning the conflict of having an analytical mind, or as described therein, a wandering mind. One that chooses willingly to divest nearly too much effort into wherefore and why.

All in all, the book will take readers through many experiences I had during the year and decided to express in writing. Some of them are very personal searches and attempts at gaining understanding of my own thoughts while many others are a quick jaunt through word play and rhyme.

Please enjoy these pages as much as I have, thank you.

I've published a collection of my poetry that includes 62 poems and my original artwork. It covers my struggle with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I began writing it after seeking out help for my issues. My one hope is that my words can let others with similar issues, hopes, and dreams know that they aren't alone in this world.

These poems were very relieving to write. Some are based on dreams I had and one, Her Ghost, is based on a real hypnagogic hallucination. This is my first time writing and I was particularly surprised at the positive feedback that I've received from others that weren't friends or family. Hopefully, others out there can get something out of my writing. I appreciate any feedback or comments.

Genuine: A Poetry Collection - Vol. 1 : $2.99 eBook and available on Kindle Unlimited and $10 paperback available!

Vol. 2 currently in the works!

Visceral - A cyberpunk fantasy novel for adults

Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1qUPbtyUz5ETUVBWEV6Rzl1NzA/view?usp=sharing

Amazon Link (for reviews): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I8EZ42S

Goodreads Link (for reviews): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30993029-visceral

All I ask is that you please review it if you like it. On Amazon as well as goodreads would be fantastic!

Warning, lots of profanity, violence, blood. If you aren't into gritty action, it may not be your cup of tea. You can find it on Amazon as well, and I would definitely appreciate a review there as well. Thank you!

About Visceral:

     Matthias is a listless vampire enforcer missing a decade of his life from before the turning. Tamra is a warden protecting the world from mages, and mages from the world. Kate is a neuro; a hacker who gave up part of her humanity for powerful synaptic processing. Taq is a mage of astounding talent yearning for love and freedom.

     Vampires have few absolute laws. Firstly, never murder a brother nightstalker. Secondly, never turn a mage. When an ancient evil is unleashed upon the world, the vampire council turns to their trusted enforcement handler Frank Kerwin, and his agent Matthias Trent, to discreetly clean house. Frank quickly assembles a team, sending them on a suicide mission against a monster that feels no pain, fear, or remorse.

     Enter a world transformed by a great economic collapse into a corporatocracy governed by executives, their boards, and appointed councils. A world where man has rekindled his ability to draw from the ethereal plane and subjugate the laws of nature. Where vampires, long in hiding, have emerged to carve a place within civilization. A world ripe for the taking by those with the right resources.

     Visceral is a violent and often bloody delve into a cyberpunk world that does not give you a chance to catch your breath. Filled with dark satire and occasional humor, Visceral is a novel of action and drama taking place in the gritty future, present day, and even the old west. With a climax both satisfying and appalling, this cyberpunk jaunt will kindle your love of serious adult fiction.

Not your typical debut novel, Between Two Minds: Awakening, a must-read, innovative piece.

In this sci fi, psychological thriller, Ryan Carter has been paralyzed from the waist down his entire life. Having always dreamed of walking, he is fortunate to be alive at a time when a ground-breaking and miraculous solution is available to the public. After saving for many years, he can finally afford a “mind migration procedure” to transfer his mind into a physically fit host body. But after completing the mind migration, his obsession with walking becomes overshadowed by a strange and frightening side effect unraveling the very reality he once knew.

Between Two Minds: Awakening takes the reader on an adventure far beyond the potential consequences of transferring one’s consciousness to a new body. The interweaving story line will have the reader second guessing what is real and what is dream while connecting dots they didn't even realize were there. In the end, Between Two Minds: Awakening proves that when lives and livelihoods are on the line, even the minutest details can be vitally important.

You can download your Kindle copy today for just $3.99.

Whatever saves to Word format is fine. Doesn't matter what you use, really. Remember that both mobi and epub are very stripped down - you can't have a lot of formatting in there.

So don't worry about what you're writing in (honestly, just use whatever's most comfortable - I've used Evernote, Google Docs, Word, and others, depending on where I am working).

Things like text justification and hyphenation don't matter much. In ebooks, the reader decides things like font size and font formatting. What you DO have to worry about are:

  • Headings and other styles

  • Page breaks

  • Non-breaking spaces, hyphens, etc.

  • Centering

    If you want to get serious about getting your formatting right, let me recommend the book I refer to most often for these questions: Zen of Ebook Formatting by Guido Henkel. His blog is worth checking out too.

    Or wait till I give another webinar on the subject. :)

The River Abyss

"In dreams we sail this river abyss
These Lost souls, rafts that quietly list
Over and through the calm solitude
Together though apart, we then intrude
On daylight eyes and glistening tide
The view so far and landscape wide
In abstract mind we lost the time
As one and none and many more
In dreams we sail this river abyss
These moments here,  we have become"

A steal at 0.99 cents,  what dollar could be better spent.  Or even better yet,  on KindleUnlimited for free instead.

If you enjoy poetry or a quick read to change your day then go ahead it a try.

Hey, everyone! I just published Numbercaste, a scifi novel in the vein of The Circle and Black Mirror.
It's 302 pages - a very Orwellian story told through the eyes of a man who gets offered a job in Silicon Valley.

Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0748BRB87
Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1521795436

Amazon's emailed me to say the two will be linked in the store within 48 hours.

Pricing - I've set the Kindle edition price to $0.99 for this first week (it's Friday, GMT+5.30 here). After which it'll go back to its original price of $2.99. Honest reviews welcome!

u/mecha-aaron87 · 2 pointsr/selfpublish

I have a novel that's FREE for the week on amazon. The hustle:


In ancient Greece, the nine year breeding cycle of a 200 foot tall sea monster regularly dismantles a small island, rich in silver ore. After repeated failures to thwart the beast, a new plan is hatched, the construction of a great stone statue meant to frighten it away.

Linus is one who works the statue; stubborn and ambitious; prizing his own contributions above those of his peers and convinced that his vision for their work is the right one. As the beast draws near, Linus will strive for control of the statue, watch his only friend try and instigate a violent revolution, and confront the soldier with whose wife he's been having an affair.

Trundling in the footsteps of King Kong and Godzilla, Anaxagoras is a story about obsession, art, and the inevitable, delivered by way of giant monster.

You can be non-specific and say "award nominated" or "award winning" but if this is your book you have a much, much more hard hitting reviews and kudos than what this award offers.

100 Ton Press just released two new books.

First: Alignment: a love story is the story of Elliott Foley, who has a farm to run, with people who depend on her. One day she backs into an old friend, and finds that it's okay for her to depend on someone, too. Only one problem — all he seems to want is her friendship. Does she want it to be more? Why couldn't it be more?

It's a romance for and about actual grown-ups, and not a Harlequin piece.

$3.99 for Kindle / $12.00 paperback from Amazon.

Second: Most people are stupid. This is self-help for the 21st century. The premise is simple: Most people are stupid. We know this, but don't take advantage of that knowledge (such a surprise!). This is a short-but-astringent guide to understanding and applying this simple rule.

$0.99 for Kindle / $8.00 paperback from Amazon.

I'm a former juggler for Cirque du Soleil, and my first real nonfiction project made its debut a few weeks ago. It's about history of juggling around the world (~2000BCE - 1897CE) was released about two weeks ago. The book is titled "Juggling - From Antiquity to the Middle Ages: the forgotten history of throwing and catching" and is available on Amazon (and your friendly local juggling & magic shops worldwide!)

I won't make you suffer through the details, but a review came out in a major industry website today that I'm just dying to share -

How much would you pay for the body of your dreams? For Ryan, it might cost him everything.


As a paraplegic, Ryan’s always dreamed of walking. He saved a small fortune to undergo a common procedure in his time to transfer his mind into a physically fit host body. Afterwards, his obsession with walking is immediately overshadowed by a strange and frightening side effect unraveling the reality he once knew.


This psychological thriller takes the reader on an adventure far beyond the potential consequences of transferring one’s consciousness to a new body. The interweaving story line will have the reader second guessing what is real and what is dream, and prove that knowing the truth can be the difference between life and death.


-A well written, fast-paced science fiction thriller reminiscent of Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, Michael Crichton, and Aldous Huxley.

u/maggiebwrites · 2 pointsr/selfpublish

Each single-page poem of Love, Sex & PTSD represents a difficult moment or a nagging thought; together, the poems tell the coming-of-age story of a woman who has experienced sexual assault and abuse. It's raw and emotional, with glimmers of hope and strength.

Originally, I wrote the poems for myself and publishing the book was a bucket-list item that I never intended to promote. But given the current climate in the US, I feel like there might be people out there who can relate and just want to be able to connect with someone else experiencing what they are.

The book is currently free (through 10/20) on Amazon Kindle and it's enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. Otherwise, it's $2.99 on Kindle or $4.99 in print.

Part I of my soft science-fiction series is available on Amazon!

You can read the first chapter for free here : https://thelasterdane.com/read-the-first-chapter-here/

The Last Erdane tells the story of Sedna, a proud, outraged lady ready to upturn half the galaxy on her quest for revenge and power.

Available on Amazon, Kindle (2.99$) or paperback (13.99$), and Kindle Unlimited : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XJQM2Q6

____________

Sedna Erdane is angry. She's barely back from exile, and the people of her formerly wealthy planet are starving. She is now an outcast, branded as the daughter of traitors, forced to obey an inept Queen.

She can't and won't accept it. Not her. She was raised to be greater than this.

She discovers that in the shadows of the Court, the many enemies of Queen Annelie are waiting. For an army to be ready, for secret allies to be strong enough, or for the perfect opportunity to overthrow her and finally rise to power.

Meanwhile, among the stars, other political organizations are becoming threats: centuries after leaving Earth, humans still haven't risen above their differences and soon, half the galaxy will be at war.

The unrest is perfect for Sedna: she knows how to charm and negotiate. In exile, she learnt how to lie and kill. Seeking out the Queen’s opponents and making herself the head of a rebellion seems like a straight path to power.

It doesn’t matter that her thirst for revenge is likely to send the world spiraling into chaos: if she has to become a problem to solve her own, then so be it.

She is Sedna Erdane, last of her name; and she will not be forgotten

The Visitor From Incel World is now on sale at Amazon for $2.99 or free if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Da Blurb:

Ariana Heppelwhite was a promising Gender Studies grad student at Lacy Swanson College for Women in Bayport, Massachusetts. She had actually written a paper describing three hitherto unknown forms of nanoaggression! She was on track for getting a professorship and a actual job with a real salary and all the perks, maybe even tenure eventually.

Ariana had even met an unexpectedly charming incel (a phrase she had never expected to think, much less say) while doing research on incels for a grant she had. Sure, she'd done some nasty academic infighting that had an athletic department coach looking for her scalp over a transmale gaze incident, but overall, things were coming up roses for Ariana.

Then it happened. Ariana got caught in a freak physics accident while running from the gym coach, and was transported to an alternate world. And it was the exact WRONG world for a Gender Studies feminist to be transported to. It was full of women who walked around naked in public and wore collars engraved with “Property of (their significant other)” and who LOVED their collars -- and who seemed to think Ariana was a barbarian from a violent place.

And the thing was, they were all nice people, and calm people, and they just might be right about Ariana. Even more of a thing was that some not-so-nice Collar Land people thought Ariana's world represented such a threat that they should kill her for security reasons!

Will Ariana ever make it back to good old Earth from Collar Land? Will she learn to adjust to these very strange people or will she subvert their entire society? Will the not-nice people kill her? And what about that unexpectedly charming incel?

All these questions and more will be answered -- all you have to do is read this topnotch science fiction comedy!

Hello
My first short story is now available on kindle for the small sum of £1.00 (it'd be less if amazon would let me) apologies to other currencies, but it is available on Kindle unlimited.

Link for US

Link for UK

It's the story of Tom, a young and disillusioned soldier with minimal training who must survive a stormy night as war comes to the small town his unit was sent to garrison.

It's set in a world similar to our own but with a technology closer to the first world war era. I hope to make it into a series and as the war unfolds the past is revealed.

Not convinced, then see what an Amazon top 100 reviewer has to say about it:

>the skill with which the story itself was handled was quite remarkable. The nervousness of a soldier who wasn't expecting to see combat, who shouldn't have been there, and yet found himself in the company of so many others as untried and terrified as he was. The emotion was unspeakably accurate. The fear and confusion, the shaking hands, and fumbled attempts to use a weapon that was unfamiliar. The frozen thoughts, and disbelief of shooting at another human.

Thanks and look out for the next installment soon.
