![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve run pay-per-click advertising campaigns for my day job, and I was leery about getting anything except a high credit card bill out of Goodreads, but they’ve proven more effective than I expected. ![]() I’ve written about my Kindle Nation Advertising Results, which helped me sell a bunch of ebooks in one day, and today I’m going to talk about Goodreads, which has led to a small trickle of continuing sales. That will change if you start selling enough for your ebook to show up in various bestseller categories, but getting to that point is a challenge. As I’ve mentioned before, nobody is going to stumble across your work at the bookstore, and, with Amazon’s millions of books for sale, it’s unlikely on-site searches are going to lead people to your work either. There are a lot of challenges as an indie ebook author, but perhaps the biggest is being found. ![]() ![]() Not because I disliked her, but because I couldn't see how she was going to be in a relationship with Lachlan or anyone else. I wasn't sure how I felt about Laila at the beginning. From the beginning when Lachlan and Laila were introduced, knowing they were going to end up meeting and developing a relationship gave me no clues to the paths they were going to take. ![]() The opinion expressed here is my own.” ******E-book version****** In Kiwi Gold, Rosalind James took me on a journey with varying levels of intensity. ![]() I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. "I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I am very appreciative tat I got to listen to the audiobook. These narrators have done such justice to the book that you can not go wrong with whichever version you choose. I have often listened to an audiobook after reading the book and wished that I hadn't. The feels were more intense, the girls were more heartwarming, everything was just "more". ![]() Emma Wilder and Tom Jason brought the characters of Laila and Lachlan to life, as well as the other characters in the book. ![]() The accents, the emotion, and getting to hear the NZ words pronounced correctly. ****Audiobook 04/04/22***** I enjoyed the ebook, but I have to say that I enjoyed the audiobook even more. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

It definitely deserves to be considered one of the best Alan Moore comics works! ![]() The story, drawn by Kevin O’Neill, is really fun to read, and it’s incredible how Moore flawlessly mixes the characters from the different stories and make them work together as if they were designed to work as a team. Well’s “The Invisible Man”, and Mina Murray, also known as Wilhelmina Murray Harker, from Bram Stocker’s Dracula, and makes them work together to save the world from the war between Fu Manchu and Moriarty, from Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Homes stories.

In effect, in the book Moore mixes Allan Quatermain, protagonist of H. ![]() And this time, it has a double twist, for both classic stories and comics readers: he takes the characters these classic stories, and creates a team of late 19 th century “Avengers”, or as Moore himself called them, a “Justice League of Victorian England” And Moore does it again… He takes characters from classic stories, and plunges them into a new fictional universe where they work all together. ![]() ![]() Viv is a retired barbarian warrior (of the Dungeons and Dragons mold). This book goes out of it’s way to have a nonviolent protagonist. I like reading nonviolent books on occasion. To put this review/study in proper context, you must know my starting point. I default to giving books 3 stars, so this having 5 stars is a sign of how much I enjoyed it. They are a measurement of how well this book fits *me* as a specific reader with unique biases, and how well I synched up with this story. Note: MY STAR GRADES ARE NOT A MEASUREMENT OF QUALITY. Overall, I give the story’s Emotional Resonance: (5/5 Stars) I’ve never read anything like this before, and I value this more as a result. It was at moments tense, and I felt empathy for the characters. IF YOU ARE IN THE TARGET AUDIENCE, OR THE GENRES/TROPES SOUND INTERESTING TO YOU, SHOULD YOU READ THIS? Adventure Questing Fantasy (Tropes Inverted).WHAT IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE? WHAT GENRES? WHAT MAJOR TROPES? ![]() ![]() But I found this book to be occasionally stressful- which is good, meaning this book is nonetheless tense despite it’s coziness. ![]() This book is very cozy, having a found family vibe. This book is marketed as being ‘Of High Fantasy and Low Stakes,’ and that’s true. It’s well written, with homey characters. I’m writing this review as an author critiquing another author’s book, in an attempt to improve my own writing and editing skills. ![]() ![]() ![]() The title M isfits was inspired by a lecture she gave at the 2018 Edinburgh TV Festival’s MacTaggart lecture. ![]() Coel advocates strongly for “radical honesty” and “great transparency.” If you are familiar with the actress’s work, then you know this type of messaging is similar to what she has shown us in her previous content. ![]() In Misfits, Coel will tell us about her life, career, and how she became confident in her creativity and strength. Coel is known for creating unique stories about Black women that are not often told and using her life as an inspiration to make the work as truthful as possible. Michaela Coel, the creator and star of popular TV shows such as Chewing Gum and I May Destroy You, has a new book coming out in September called Misfits: A Personal Manifesto. ![]() ![]() ![]() It means After Atlas can be read as a standalone, for one thing. Of course, even if this isn’t the direct sequel you’d hoped for, there’s still plenty of good news. There are mentions to previous events, but at best the link between the two novels are tenuous, with After Atlas following a new protagonist, featuring a completely new scenario in a new setting, and even the story’s tone and style are completely different. ![]() If you were like me and were confused by the ending of the first book, I’m afraid you’ll not find many answers here. While After Atlas takes place in the same cosmos as Planetfall, it is more accurate to call it a companion novel than a true sequel. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher.
