I am new to this forum and just having a bit of a nose around. My novel is just about ready to debut in US bookstores and is already available online at most book sellers.
Write me and let me know what you think. :)
Best Regards,

How about telling us a little bit about your book and yourself?
Also, when you get the chance, scroll down the forum list, find the On Writing forum, click on it and look for the published authors thread. click on it, read the first post and then add yourself it the thread, please.
We've also got a self-promotion forum in the forums list where you might want to post information about your books as well. Never meddle in the affairs of a wizard unless you are soggy and hard to light!

| Posted By : Echo Draven - 4/26/2008 9:15 PM | Thanks to all of you that have replied to my thread. Well a little more information about my book: Arnystal Kensington has never considered herself special or unique. She has never thought that there was more to life than just surviving normal everyday occurences. Content in being alone and devoted to work, Arnystal is visibly rattled when her seemingly calm lifestyle begins to become plagued by horrific dreams that threaten to steal her sanity. Fearing that she is trapped in a downward spiral that will lead to a padded room in a mental institution, she searches for outside explanations that could shed light on her slumbering torture. Arnystal could never have foreseen that she would have to solve a mystery that is hundreds of years old while facing a formidable foe that threatens her life and her friends. Conquering the fear of supernatural influences or that she may be psychotic is the least of her problems when she discovers the truth about the Water Skull.
My name is Echo Draven. This is my first published work and is actually the first installment in a collection called: The Elemental Skull series. Which, when finished, will be comprised of a total of 5 books. As of this time, Reflections from the Water Skull will be released on May 5th. I will be setting up some local book signings here in nebraska where i currently am and then abroad when i return to the UK. Other locations may present themselves within the next few months, I will just have to see about the timing. :)
Thanks again for the replies and I will check out the other locations very soon.
Best Regards, Echo Draven |
