As you know, I don’t normally talk about my family, mainly because I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to know about them and that they, in turn, would be absolutely horrified if I did. However, today, I’m going to make an exception. This is a personal post, about my brother, and at the end of it, I’m going to ask for your help. I aim to beg in an amusing way, without putting anyone under pressure, but if you think you’ll be uncomfortable with that feel free to make a swift exit!

Right, if anyone’s still here, on we go.

Today, I’d like to tell you about a very important event which my brother, Giles Bell: A prime examples of er,  middle aged athleticism if ever there was one; a man in the peak of physical fitness – see photo – is going to undertake with a team of other…

I’m in need of 100 people willing to help my promotional campaign on Thunderclap a success in helping to promote my novel on Kindle Scout

What’s Thunderclap? It gathers folks with a common promotional goal (like those wanting me to succeed on Kindle Scout) and when 100 (or more) people join, it BLASTS out 1 message through all 100 people at a time. It’s the power of numbers which makes the difference.

It’s free!

It’s extremely easy to join a promotional campaign. How about 5 seconds?

It will only send ONE message on April 28 through your Facebook or Twitter concerning my novel on Kindle Scout.

It’s super easy, but it could mean a lot to me.

Please join my Thunderclap campaign HERE!

And if you haven’t nominated my novel for a publishing contract on Kindle Scout yet, please do so HERE!

MARKETING INDIE BOOKS (Part 3 of 4)

Welcome back! I’m thrilled you’ve stuck with us. Yesterday I discussed the importance of setting up a .doc file before formatting it into an eBook and the consequences of not doing so. Today my post is about – PRINTING YOUR BOOKS – will be briefer than the other ones. Not because it’s not important, on the contrary. This aspect of the indie publishing industry is much easier than it might seem.

Before I became a writer, I had always been an avid reader. I would read almost anything I could find. Granted, if…

Read an excerpt from the book below

“The room is comfortably warm due to the sunlight passing through the glass dome that acts as a ceiling. Tropical plants cover the edge of the room, which has soft grass growing out of the spongy floor. A gentle rain falls out of the ceiling and onto the foliage, giving the air a crisp freshness that invigorates the wildlife. Peacocks and peahens strut around the room, the males brandishing their colorful plumage when Kira arrives with her guests. An albino peacock stands by a low table and hops into the heiress’s lap when she sits on the lush grass. A gracious wave of her hand is all she does to get Sari and Luke to join her on the floor. With a cordial cough, she redirects her fiancée to sit at the head of the table, placing him between…
