I just wanted to stop in and say we found the post valuable and informative. I enjoyed your book and have written a couple reviews on it. Keep up the good work.

The other review is here from a slightly different viewpoint. I'm also promoting this thread and your blog on the site.

Hey, give us a link and title to look for!

I've got to check with prisc to see if ebook purchases through the forum's amazon link generate any revenue for Iago to run the site with.  I know hardcopy does, but not sure about ebooks.

Here you go!
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MQEO8I
(Warning:  extremely silly.) ;D

I'll be putting up another work as soon as I get the proof back from CreateSpace and approve it.
ETA:  It wouldn't let me use the cover from the hard copy (wrong number of pixels) so for now there's no image available.  I think it shows up as page one, though.

Anything that you buy using the forum's Amazon link generates revenue for the site.


Here's LizW65's book using the forum's link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B008MQEO8I/iagonet

I see that snarky and witty show up in the user review. :) I'm buying this one right now! :)

Your book must be good Liz, there are adverts for the Fifty Shades books at the bottom of the page.  ::) ::)

One for the reading list.

Oh, good lord!   ::) Please don't get any wrong ideas--my book isn't porn; its a straight-up murder mystery.  It does contain some adult language and period-appropriate political incorrectness, though.

I was only teasing Liz. Amazon probably put that advert there because people are buying in bulk. Probably under female author category. I read a lot of medieval murder mysteries and am amazed at what I get as a suggested title.
