Just Released Today...Prequel to Galactic Mage Series, You don't wont to miss this!

Ilbei Spadebreaker and the Harpy’s Wild (The Galactic Mage Series) [Kindle Edition]

Ergo the Skewer and his band of bandits plague the mining community of Three Tents. The locals, trying to scratch bare livings from a stingy mountainside, can’t endure much more. They’ve tried to fight back, but they are not warriors, and the Skewer is brutal and cruel. What was once a proud, if humble, way of life has now become one of desperation and fear. Many have fled. Only the stubborn remain.

Making matters worse, the harpies have returned. Some have been spotted in the skies. People are missing, and a woman is dead. It’s one problem too many. Realizing they cannot save Three Tents on their own, the proud miners send for help, appealing to the army garrisoned in Hast. The army sends Sergeant Ilbei Spadebreaker.

With wit, pickaxe and a bit of brute force, the pot-bellied old veteran begins his work. He soon unearths layers of subterfuge far deeper than anything that can be dug up in a mine. What begins as a hunt for a band of brigands becomes a journey into the cavernous underworld of counterfeiting, corruption and conspiracy.

Ilbei Spadebreaker and the Harpy’s Wild is a stand-alone prequel to the bestselling Galactic Mage series. Whether you are familiar with planet Prosperion or heading there for the first time, the down-home, medieval style of fan-favorite Ilbei Spadebreaker will warm your heart and tickle your funny bone.

What whispers at night when your heads filled with slumber. The deepest, the darkest, the tales from down under. If you wonder and guess and think it all through Who knows what fascinations would be mindful to you. The mind knows no boundary, the brain knows it all but what if a Whisperling would come and take all.

What whispers at night when your heads filled with slumber. The deepest, the darkest, the tales from down under. If you wonder and guess and think it all through Who knows what fascinations would be mindful to you. The mind knows no boundary, the brain knows it all but what if a Whisperling would come and take all.

The Whisperling: The Spirit of the Gods [Kindle Edition]

An earlier history of man reveals the Celestros, an ancient class of celestial beings as a ruling force. They reside high above the grip of horror that now covers the earth. Evil magic, necromancy and murder have become commonplace and now run rampant through the Shadowland’s. Now nothing here is as it appears. In an attempt to help the humans, the Celestros choose to embed the Spirits of the Gods into selected humans. These men and women displayed significant expanded six senses; this made them almost god-like. The demi-gods became jealous; they felt humans were too inferior for such an honorable gift.
The Celestros send Samael to stop the annihilation of the human race, but his presence, like every man, woman and child living in the Shadowlands was not welcomed.
Samael discovers members of his own Order are trying to get him removed from Celestros. Samael, now has to face conspiracy, treachery and deceit; from a group he once called his family.
The Celestros strip Samael’s powers. His fate sealed, his downfall facilitated by the shape-shifting Brothers of Blood.Samael vows revenge. The Brothers of Blood kidnap and torture Samael. They demand Samael joins them and threaten him, using his children as bait against a zombie threat. Samael is reluctant to join the traitors and he is in fact, deceived about their plan.
A Whisper-ling child befriends Samael daughter Ishira. Both Samael’s children are tricked, Nick by curiosity, Ishira by a friendly face. They are lost from their family and confined to the Darklands. The Whisperling, transformed by magic is and transported to the 21st century, where she dispenses her special kind of torment and horror to an unsuspecting human race… The world is her oyster.

Exposure

I’m not trying to be critical here, but maybe I should be.

We all write for various reasons; some for pleasure, some for profit, and still others for both. Some write to relieve anxiety or they keep a daily journal and nothing more. Others write because of school or work and do not enjoy it at all.

I’m one of those who write because I love to write and lately found it profitable. In my quest to turn a nickel, I’ve learned from the very best in the business that exposure is one of the keys to making money with your writing. That is why this morning I felt I needed to write this.

I hear way too often from fellow authors that they are not making any money and feel like giving up. I want to help, even though I’m learning the ropes myself. So, I ask for links to their web sight, author’s page, Blog…they don’t have them.

I was in this same position five months ago. I had written several books but my sales were nothing and my hopes were dwelling. Then a friend introduced me to some pros. The first thing I was told was to expose myself…

“Sure,” I said, “but isn’t that illegal.”

It wasn’t that kind of exposure, of course. They looked at my Bio, authors page, and my books. They had many suggestions and I drank them up like a man dying of thirst in the desert. I will not go into detail with all the suggestions, but the main one was exposure.

Writing a good Bio, posting a professional picture, creating a Blog, and get on Social media … i.e. Facebook, twitter, linkin, etc. … let people know you’re out there. No one will buy something they cannot see.

The Biblical reference might be, why hide the light of a candle. Place it where all can see.

Now I’m not saying be a nuisance. What I am saying is simply letting people know you are a writer.

On Facebook create an author’s page and let your friends know on this page you will post about your writing; where to find your books, up and coming events, progress on your latest projects.

Create a Twitter account, Google, Linkin, Goodreads, and so on.

Create a Blog and link it to your Twitter, and Facebook author’s page. Also CSS it to your authors pages on Amazon , Barnes and Noble, etc. Link it everywhere. By doing so, you only make one post and it is then posted on the various sights.

Invite friends and family to join you on those pages…everyone is invited. Post interesting articles, controversial, something that will induce discussion or promote others.

What is your genre?

What is your Hobby?

What have you read lately?

What good movie have you watched based on a book you read?

Post everyday. The rule of thumb is at least three times a week. I post a lot because I help promote authors books. Something I refer to as, Plugging. I also have a featured weekly author. I introduce authors and help them gain exposure. And that’s what this is all about. Exposure.

Getting your name out there so those wanting to buy your books, can find them easily.

A candle isn’t meant to be hidden. Set it where its light spreads out for all to see.

Exposure, do it.
