townparkradio Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Honestly I don't really care about anyone on any of the other forums here, so I didn't feel right posting in "Off Topic" (even though it WOULD be a wider audience) Don't you always roll your eyes when someone talks about the "novel" they are "writing"? You know the types, blathering endlessly about plots and ideas and never actually doing anything... well, those guys annoy me too. Which is why I haven't talked to anyone about this anywhere I visit until I knew damn well I was not one of those kinds of guys! Coming soon! Should be out to buy before June 10 or so. *fist pump* (helpful note: before I decided to self publish, this was originally accepted as a Harlequin Nocturne novel) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Congratulations and hope you do well with this book. What species of spider is that? looks like a Australian Red-Back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townparkradio Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Here's a link better explaining what this book and the series are. for giggles I think Jessica's mother is going to bust out with an Intellivision in book two. she's going to get them a house, and I think it'll be funny if she sticks one up front and center in the livingroom. Also: My kingdom for a PORTABLE version of Tower of Doom that actually works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townparkradio Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 story sounds good but man the title is a mouthful of words i dont have any clue how to pronounce. Eh. It's the name of his detective agency. it means, basically, "to accept what life has done to you, stoically". It'll be named "Dog and Spider Private Investigations" by the middle of book 2, which I'm already 40 pages into writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townparkradio Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Also: these bump me up on the "bestseller" list. I'm at 31. If by some miracle we can crack top ten, that should translate into many "real sales" for weeks to come. Tell friends, family, even people who don;t know how to read to grab it today!

townparkradio Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 For anyone confused, you do NOt click the "read for free" button. that's something different. You just... buy the book like you'd normally buy anything. The cost will be zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpmaul69 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Just noticed mark got your book. Dont be surprised if it comes back with corrections marked all over in red pen and a grade at the top of page 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont be surprised if it comes back with corrections marked all over in red pen and a grade at the top of page 1. Lol. The editor I had was... honestly pretty craptacular. She originally added like 5 thousand words to it, tying off what she called "loose ends" and telling me "Harlequin does not 'do' sequels" and they wanted rights to my characters. I informed them that meant they weren't "doing" my book, and ended up having to go back to an earlier manuscript. I don't think too many errors, other than stylistic choices, got through, but it's hard to edit your own stuff.

townparkradio Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Oh and she set Merrick up as a ROMANTIC RIVAL against Nick. When you find out in the story who he is you'll... you'll see why I balked. Edited June 27, 2016 by townparkradio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townparkradio Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 also: almsot cracked the top 25 in "sales" Once we do that, Amazon will automatically promote the book on it's own, transferring into real "sales" in the coming weeks.
