Today celebrates the paperback release of Karen Wyle's Division. You can find my review of Division by clicking this link. It's a fascinating exploration of near-future science and the life of conjoined twins, beautifully and convincingly imagine, and filled with thought-provoking twists and details.  
 
The Amazon link is http://www.amazon.com/Division-Karen-Wyle/dp/1493775987, or http://www.amazon.co.uk/Division-Karen-Wyle/dp/1493775987/ in the UK, with other countries following via http://smarturl.it/Division-paperback.

The author points out this book would be great for book clubs and I absolutely agree, so leave a comment below if you'd like to ask her about reader's notes and other possibilities.

And then there's this!
Historical novel set in Spain and India
The Empress Emerald by J. G. Harlond
Stolen: a child, an identity and a priceless jewel
Paperback and eBook publication date: 1st March, 2014

Famelton Publishing is delighted to announce a new novel by British ex-pat
J. G. Harlond, author of The Chosen Man.

The Empress Emerald, published by Famelton Publishing on March 1st, 2014, is set during the first half of the twentieth century in India, Britain and Spain. The Empress Emerald is the story of Leo Kazan and Davina Dymond, lovers separated by continents, time and social convention. Covering the tumultuous years between the two World Wars, when Russia was ripped apart by revolution, civil war destroyed Spain, and the Home Rule movement finally undermined 400 years of the British Raj in India, The Empress Emerald is a love story played out on an international stage.
 
This exciting yet poignant novel examines how our upbringing affects our life-choices and our identity. Richly detailed scenes with believable characters come to life in an enthralling hybrid of adventure and romance set against a backdrop of real, historic events.

“An epic and enthralling novel of love and separation, betrayal and treachery . . . very cinematic, it is a rich tapestry of colour and characters.” Karen Maitland – author of The Falcons of Fire and Ice


About the author:
 
Jane G. Harlond has lived and worked in various different European countries. She is married to a Spanish naval officer and is now settled in rural Andalucía. She has lived (on and off) in Spain for over 25 years and some of her early experiences went into writing the story of Davina Dymond, one of the main characters in The Empress Emerald, a girl who is uprooted from her quiet Cornish backwater home and set down in a household full of secrets in Jerez, Spain.

The Empress Emerald is available to buy in paperback and eBook format from Amazon from 1st March.  Cost £8.99 (paperback) and £1.99 (eBook) (if you're in England). In the US, you'll find it at

How to Connect those Connections

Taken from a talk I gave on Sunday at the Writers' Mill. This is a very low-level approach to getting connected, from one beginner to another... Internet Writing, Marketing and Networking If you’ve got an email address you’re on the internet. If you’ve got a book out or an article in a magazine, you’re into marketing. If you’ve got friends, you’re networking. And if you use Google, you can do almost anything. Google Google is your friend. Google “how to join facebook” “How to join goodreads” “How to join Twitter” etc… Google “facebook badges” “blogger widgets” etc… to spice up your pages. Anything you want to know, a nice simple question to google will almost certainly tell you. But keep safe . Don’t just click on the first link you see. Make sure it looks vaguely genuine. “F*@!book.com/badges” might take you somewhere you don’t want your computer to go. “Facebook.com/badges” tells you all about badges. Why would you want to join all these interne...

Eternal curse might hide a blessing too.

Today is the official launch day for Toi Thomas's paranormal romance, Eternal Curse, and I was lucky enough to be offered a free preview copy some while ago. The novel creates an intriguing mythology of angelic beings and the Fall, binding it nicely to modern day characters in search of meaning for their lives. There's an interesting blend of the paranormal, faith and science, and the story has a nicely old-fashioned feel with separate underlying tales taking center stage on the way to resolution. So... here's the cover, the blurb, and my review: ABOUT THE BOOK 'You have plenty of time to change your mind. You have not yet seen the monster I can be.' Giovanni has been waiting his whole life to meet someone like Mira, someone from the outside world who might be able to help him. He wonders if there really is help for him as he continues to hold tightly onto dark secrets and even darker memories. Giovanni wants to be hopeful and he wants to accept Mira...

Author or transcriber, reader or visitor, greatest or least? Meet Kathryn Elizabeth Jones

Image
 Today I'm delighted to welcome Kathryn Elizabeth Jones, author of " I walked with Jesus ," to my blog. I very much enjoyed her short stories retelling miracles from the life of Christ - we clearly have faith and short fiction in common with each other.  I loved how historical, real, and relevant Kathryn's stories felt. You can find my review here:  https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4904771188 . I'd love to meet the author and chat in person, but inviting her to my blog is the next best thing, so I asked her to let me and you how she finds her audience. Here's what she told me. Why I think my audience is beginning to find me by  Kathryn Elizabeth Jones One of the hardest things to do as an author, other than writing or marketing a book, is to find that often illusive audience. It’s easier with mysteries or children’s picture books, probably because you know who reads them; adults and teens who love sleuthing and children and their parents who love reading....
