Wrangler Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 If this is inappropriate please remove. As some of you know, I'm a published author. Recently my speculative fiction novel, in honor of the upcoming presidential election, was placed on promotion on Amazon, reducing its cost from $4.99 US to $2.99 US. This price will be good until December 1st. If there is an interested PM me and I'll provide the name of my book and a link to its page on Amazon (where you can read a sample). Again, if this is inappropriate please let me know and/or remove this post. This is the last promotional opportunity afforded me via amazon and I wanted to let people know. I, in no way, wanted to violete this sites rules. Link to comment
Kovic Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm not sure if you broke any rules, but i got as far as "anyone into reading......" and it was a no go for me kov ps, congrats on being a published author, i know that takes work Link to comment
Wrangler Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Sadly reading is become a lost skill. Consider this quote by John Locke and its relevance - I believe, at its core, is the heart of many of the troubles we are in. "Reading furnishes the mind only with the materials of knowledge; Its the thinking which make what we read ours." - John Locke, philosopher Link to comment
Kovic Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Very true, in my case, school forces me to read so much crap that there is no way it will ever be fun again. And John Locke, that guy from the show 'Lost' eh kov Link to comment
Cyph3r Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 true school makes us read too much. And reduces our ability to spell 'ey Cyph3r - Steve-O Send nudes """"Don't quote my quotes!" - Fruits" - Rattle" - Gryphus_1" - Quesadios Link to comment
Wrangler Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 lol, reading - aka slow data input - is the only real way to consume and digest information to make it truly personal. I read roughly 45 books a year, plus what I write and edit...that is when I'm not gaming. Link to comment
Kovic Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I wouldn't say its the only way.. I only read when I: -Have to -want to fall asleep -or that rare chance that a topic is actually good kov Link to comment
Wrangler Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Mostly, I find it as a form of escapism or, perhaps, to gain a greater degree of understanding. I read SCI-FI, History, Historical Fiction, and occasionally Fantasy. Link to comment
Kovic Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Well good for you, the only books that i have ever actually enjoyed reading that were not fitness or baseball related were the Alex cross series by james patterson, only ones that i actually enjoyed. kov Link to comment
SqshyYoshi Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Please, send me a PM on the book. I love to read, a lot of underground writers. But occasionally I'll pull out a Stephen King or Dean Koontz book. Link to comment
Wrangler Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Sent Yoshi, I wouldn't go as far as to align myself with King or Koontz, but Asimov, Rand and Heinlein maybe. Link to comment
Steve-O Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 No, not at all inappropriate in this section, this is general discussion.... I would be most interested to take a look. I am an avid reader of mostly Science Fiction, so I'm sure I would enjoy it and will most definitely make a purchase [EMOJI:https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f44d.svg?0] I'm a huge fan of Asimov, Heinlein and also Arthur C. Clarke. Link to comment
SqshyYoshi Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I read the book, and it was fascinating. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a futuristic/colonization fan. Great read, thank you! Link to comment
Wrangler Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Apprecaited THANKS! If you can, please post an honest review to amazon. It helps keep my book placed higher in the Amazon stack and increases the possability of sales. Thanks again Allan Link to comment
