Community Cork Board / Christmas sale on my UF Indie E-book
« on: December 16, 2014, 06:24:02 AM »
I am having a Christmas sale on my E-novel  "Above My Pay GradeX2".
It will be $3.99 until Dec 26.

 It is Urban Fantasy set in Boulder CO. With "Ghosts", a griffin,a man bent on revenge who knows a weakness that even the twenty-something year old Main Character doesn't know about, and  a mysterious bad guy out to kill and destroy for their own purposes.

And on my two story sets. If you buy the novel you can get one story set free details on the blog post. 

On Barnes and Noble---smashwords.com---iTunes store---Amazon---that last includes Kindle even though the sale price may not be listed there yet.
The link leads to a blog post that goes into more detail.

Community Cork Board / Indie book "Above My Pay GradeX2"
« on: October 02, 2014, 02:58:10 AM »
I placed this on the Author Craft section but since not everyone goes there I figure I would put it here too.


My book is Urban Fantasy and comes in around 98,000 words.

Hi, my name is NA, I found myself in the middle of a situation worse than anything I have been involved in before. I was born with a special ability, but in this case will it be enough save my friends---and me?

There is a flu going around making Users and Mages sick, and killing some. It is NA’s job—she has the special geas to prove it—to find the cause and to stop it, before something terrible happens.

She just has to get around her emotional baggage, a grizzly, a griffin, ghosts, an AI Trick, and an angry abuser who wants revenge on NA. At the same time, she has to figure out what a friend is.

She is out of her pay grade, has no plan to find, or defeat the cause, and is caught in a wave of anger at her friends. Yet, somehow she is the only one who can stop this flu.

The geas and the Power behind it, must have made a mistake and sent it to the wrong person. However, since she has it, it’s her job to stop a horrible event from happening. To make it worse she has a deadline: one she doesn’t know even exists. A large job for a Freak with a lot of emotional baggage, and doubts.

At Amazon in paperback

Thank you for the interest. I thought it was somewhat pricy too but I was told that is about the going price for that size--it's larger than a pocketbook.

But Barnes and Noble lists it as an E-book as well as paper, It's at the iTunes store even though they charge a bit more for the E-version and it's at smashwords.com    http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/459861

 It's been a very long time since I have been here, but I am still writing and still learning, and something new.

I have two story sets and a novel on smashwords.  So far they are doing everything they say they would do. My sets and novel are on the sites they said they would be on along with Smashwords--for their premium catalog that is. 

I know of pro writers who use it. So far they are living up to their word.

Haven't been here much:posted a link to where a very short story of mine was published and something else I can't recall right now.

But I've been writing. Just finished a 3800 and some word story and a 5,350 word story both started two weeks ago.

Had to get a story revised three or five times for a contest and sent in that one and another story to another contest--that last one didn't place.

Got one of my novels sent off to some Beta readers. They are taking their time though.

Since I was last here I probably finished more than a dozen stories, some hand written.

See some new faces and some old ones...glad you oldees are still working on the craft.

Only managed to do 4 scene settings today, unfortunately they put two of my characters way beyond where I wanted them to be in general ability to cope.

Won't be writing much for the next week - sheared thumb tendon.


Been gone a while but I decided to come back and see what is happening and post a link to some very interesting Endeavor pictures.

Anyway, I don't mean this in a bad way but is your pic there a puppy dog or a Fuzzy?

I'm a bit late with this but I just noticed the title of the thread.

Here are some interesting online workshops. Some are filled already.

Way too long since I was here...too busy writing.   :D

Now all the way down to the bottom.   

I got a HM, no pay but they published it. Had to describe a color in 50 words or less.


Blue Home


I can see why the first place got First  but not the third place story...it seems on the same level as the three HMs.

12
Good going D King. But we do all have to sleep too...rats.



But I managed to get 2,258 words in today. Finished a story-An alchemy steampunk fusion-and that gives me 'till Tuesday to revise it and nitpick check it.

Had to go back through it and add a few sentences to show my MC changed. And the whole thing is about two thousand words longer than I thought it would be and that was without adding a couple of scenes I finally decided it didn't need. 

13
No new words for the last coupe of days but I did redo some of a story I'm going to be sending out. It's First Person and I needed to Show what he experienced more than just have him Tell it. I did or it's closer anyway.

14
But I will add that I did zip last night.

Wrote a letter to the editor for my local paper and critiqued a story for someone else but no new words for my projects.

15

126 down, another... 20-40k to go.  What with finishing this book and writting the sneak peak for the next one.

thanks for the encouragement.


The Deposed King


Boy, that is going to be a long book. But then again my first one was 320,000 words long. Second was only 76,000 or so.  ;D

But still sounds good.
