What's new

Finally took the plunge and published my book

Congratulations man, so you write a series, then did you finished them all or you still write them?

I may purchase and read it btw, when my final exams are done, I like this genre, there are more than 500 SF/Fantasy books in my bookshelf and -over 30 S. King books- I read them since I was ten.
I have book two finished and I'm currently working on the last chapters of book three. It will be a five book series all together.

Dude it sounds like you are a reader after my own heart. I've been reading fantasy since before middle school and these characters have been in my head all my life. It is a dream come true to be able to share these stories with everyone else.

Craig2112 just texted me wondering if your upcoming books have any descriptive scenes of "hot guy on guy action". Do you have any idea what he's talking about?

If that has something to do with a guy cutting another guys arm off with a sword, then yes. There is also Ogre on Giant spider action and girl on mutant rat action. And a giant golem paralyzes a wizard from the waist down.
 
I'd read it if you had a hard copy available. I absolutely loathe e-readers though and I'm scared to see what libraries are going to look like in 10 years.

You can read it on your desktop with a Free Download Kindle for Desktop.

I hope to get hardcopies available eventually.

I am right there with you. I have substituted Stephen King (mostly, The Mist is kick *** and should have been a full on book) with Dean Koontz though. I had about 150ish books that a tornado took from me. Damn tornados!

I have started rebuilding my collection and have 6 foot tall book shelves filled. It is by far my favorite style of book. (forgot the damn word I am looking for)

I'm not averse to e-readers adn I clearly see benefits in them. However I just prefer having the book in my hands.

Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors. He gets a bit formulaic at times, but he writes it so well it doesn't matter.

Nice, I especially love the series novels. My best wishes for your series, as I said before I will try my best to try it.

I’m not a tremendous reader but I’ve been reading one or two SF/Fantasy/Horror/Crime books per week for almost last ten years without any break. I really feel your passion about it, it’s just like you said, all the characters are in my head all this years and they’re like from my family. I didn’t want to tell before but I too write some stuff, but they are most like short stories and waiting to be completed and become together on my old scratch pads.

Anyway I didn’t hang around and made my own personal list of my favorites of all time, they’re mostly the classic and cult ones, I’d be honored if you look at my list and make suggestions for other great reads you’ve have experienced.

You got any book suggestions for me?

Not really into Sci-fi or Fantasy. My favorite genre has always been Crime Mysteries.

My first answer to this question always would be "The Mystery of the Yellow Room" by Gaston Leroux, it's my all time favorite, it's not that fancy as the modern novels but it's a certain classic, it has a nice "locked room mystery", I would give more suggestions(obviously other than Mrs Agatha Christie :)) if you'd like, but only a few hours later, I just started to my late night study :)
