Pure Escapism, Vol One

I didn't start this blog with the intention of promoting other authors, but I when I ran across Pure Escapism, Vol. One on Smashwords I knew I had to. Mr. Warwick hails from Australia, and has started an impressive series of short stories. If his first effort is any indication, this is an author to follow. Read as much as you can now, while it's free. Before too long, Mr. Warwick will realize the value of his work and charge $.

As I have attempted to do with the John Smith, World Jumper series, Mr. Warwick seems to write in a fast paced, action oriented style while presenting characters that aren't overly angsy and flawed like so many of today's heroes. His stories are just the type of thing to get men reading again. No offense meant ladies, as you may find his stories enjoyable as well, but with the continued sucess of Romance novels, we need something to read that gives us just as much guilty pleasure.

Mr. Warwick delivers. Check him out, you won't regret it.

John Smith World Jumper, coupons

Ok.. Since I haven't posted part seven yet, here are coupons for anyone adventurous enough to look at this little blog. The code for parts 1-5 is cq64w, and the code for part 6 is yd78e.

They are good until the fifteenth! So get in for free while you can. I'm only going to have a small "inner circle" of people who get to read my stories for free, as a reward for support, encouragement, and of course reviews...early on.

Thanks to everyone so far, and have a happy mothers day..

Coupon for Part 1-5 compilation

I will send a coupon code for $.51 off to anyone who signs up to follow my blog. That makes the compilation only 99 cents, and cheaper than each of the parts separately. Then, if you want, and only if you request, I will send you notice when a new part of the series is published.

Thanks

P.S. I'm thinking of giving coupons for the next part free for people who write reviews of the stories....and making them stack so that anyone who wanted to do me the favor of reviewing each part wouldn't have to pay for any of them. What do you think?

Portal to Adventure, Parts 1-5 Compilation

I posted this for anyone not caught up, and in anticipation of the "read and e-book week" event. Dilligently at work on part 6+, and it should be up in a few days.

Portal to Adventure, Part Five

Part Five is posted! I know it was too long, but it is also a bit longer than parts two, three, and four.

Enjoy

Readership

Now that over 800 people have downloaded the first part of the John Smith story, and more than 200 of them are continuing on to other parts as of this writing, I suppose some kind of milestone has been reached. Well for me it has anyway. Two hundred (not to mention eight hundred) is far more people than have been reached by word of mouth, at least not by either my wife or I, and probably not my friends who have read the story either.

I am excited!

Of course this also means I have to get going on part V which is already late.

I kind of wish some of the people reading the story would join here so they could give me more direct feedback on how they like/dislike parts of it. Maybe I will put a suggestion at the end of part five.
