8/26/2011 Fantastic Friday!!

Greetings! Today is Friday, which means aside from my own personal celebration, it's time for book promotion! (crowd goes wild)

Today's book is called 'Strange Fruit: Prologue' by Raegan Millhollin, a collection of short stories that's leading to something much bigger. It follows the introductions of several characters in 4 stories that gets readers ready and excited for what's coming next. It's also free. Free, free, free, everyone likes free stuff, and this is totally free!

You can find the book in digital format here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/82763

It'll also soon be available at Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, the Apple iBookstore, Diesel, and Scrollmotion, since it was accepted into the Smashwords premium catalog.

A bit about the story, in this case, stories, themselves: Everything is chronological, which is great because continuity is one of my favorite things. Each of these entries gets you introduced and attached to the characters that will be further involved with the story, which is absolutely fantastic. It helps get the reader involved, and already caring about what happens to these people, which if incredibly important to any story. The genre itself is supernatural with some elements of modern fantasy rolled in, there are people, angels, demons, magic, and some that no one's sure what to call them.

I would do more of a review, but since these are short stories, it's rather difficult without being spoiler-y and I'm trying to help get people to go and read it. Just remember it's great, there will be much bigger things to come (there's quite a bit of foreshadowing, and who doesn't love that?!), and it's free. F.R.E.E. So go get it! If you don't have an e-reader that's fine, you can get it in html, pdf, or even rtf formats for your computer.

Thanks again for reading. If you would like me to post info about your own book here, feel free to drop me a line via e-mail, comment, or twitter, and I'll get right on that. Next post is on Monday, so everyone have a good and fun weekend!

Welcome!

After a (brief) amount of consideration I have decided to (re)start my old blog. I fixed the URL and it'll actually have a brand new purpose! My previous endeavours were regarding gaming of sorts, and that's not to say this will be free of it, however it will also be a place where I can go over writing, post reviews for books, and (with permission of course) promote other indy authors and such in their hopes of getting their voices out there.

There will be bits and pieces regarding gaming and such like that (I just can't help myself) but hopefully this will help my own attempts at marketing, and also others out there.

So, I suppose I'll do my own first! I wrote a book, it's called The Light Rises and it's available at http://www.smashwords.com/ , Barnes & Noble: here, and also on the Apple iBookstore (sadly I don't have a link to it because I don't own an i-device) The book is e-book only, so you'll be able to read it on your computer, Nook, i-Device, other e-readers, and soon Kobo, Sony, and hopefully Kindle!

Rough outline for the story is this: The year is 1890 in London, the world is as we knew only steam mixes with the fog to obscure the sky. Summer is going about as well as it normally would, but only until a man looks up at the sky and causes it to start snowing. It's then up to Keagan Gillette, a necromancer detective recently returned from America, to gather his companions to try and prove that humanity has a right to live while the signs of the Apocalypse are everywhere.

Thanks a bunch! I'll try to update Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (though it may be at night)

Enjoy!
