The link in my sig says it all: my first novella has been published by Booksurge Publishing. I'd had the story in mind since my senior year of high school, so it's nice to finally get it out of my system and onto paper.
Anyway, give it a look-see if you like, and let me know what you think. If you like it, great. If it sucks...well, don't sugarcoat it. Any constructive criticism, for good or for ill, is welcome as far as I'm concerned.
Congrats! I'll check it out ASAP!
Good going, man! It's great to see a fellow RKMBer get published. I'll try to spread the word.
Don't worry if your book sucks the table in the kitchen here kinda wobbles.
So it'll be win/win if I buy it.
Congratulations, King Krypton. What is the book about?
For a more detailed rundown of the plot:
- Carter's mother is a comic book fanatic/sci-fi author. Her young beau is a fellow fan she met at the local comic book store (and they fell in love at a comic book convention). By contrast, Carter couldn't think less of genre material, and thinsk her mother's wasting her time by writing the stuff.
- Carter's sister is an Irish dancer, doing a production of Dracula.
- comic book and fantasy references run rampant throughout the piece, from the place names to some of the names of the incidental characters.
I know you couldn't tell this from the synopsis I had to supply to the website, but I was told to keep it brief. Suffice it to say, it's a love story with a heavy genre-geek slant. So it does have something of interest for those not normally into melodramas...or at least, I hope so.
thanks to you both. i obviously suck at following links that are pointed out to me
.
Sounds fun. I'll see if I can bag a copy this side of the atlantic
did you have to get an agent to get that published, or did you just send it out to a bazillion publishers until one took?
Interesting plot. And congrats.
Congrats, KK! Great to see you making good! Here's hoping for much success and acclaim!
Awesome, King! Congrats man!
Now that you're a published author, send your resume to the comic companies. You may get to be the 'King' of Superman yet!
Well done KK - I'll get a copy.
not to rain on anyones parade but ROY BATTY has been published in Penthouse Letters regularly for the past five years......
And Rob on the "getting fucked up the ass by a cactus" section of Gay Ass Man Sex Qwerterly since early 2003...
Just so you know, My novel Wounds of the Heart is now available at Amazon.com. So if it's too much of a hassle to get it from Booksurge (my publisher), Amazon is a nice alternative.
I'm also working on my first screenplay, a spoof project set at a comic book convention. I love that Looney Tunes-style off-the-wall comedy, and I'm having fun taking a crack at it myself.
D'you know if it's on Amazon.co.uk? 'Cos I can't order from booksurge or Amazon.com over here.
Congrats Roys!!!!!!! I"m so proud and happy for you!
