Hi Karleigh,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you might review my book. The email me link seems to be dead so I couldn't find your email address. It would be much appreciated. It is the first book in an epic fantasy series, recently self-published on amazon and KDP select. Below is a synopsis and a little more about myself and the book,as well as some links as to where to find me. It would be great if you could take a look. Please let me know if you would like the .mobi file and the cover image, even if it is just for further consideration.
Thanks for your time,
John
The book:
“Daygo’s Fury” by John F. O’ Sullivan. The first book in an epic fantasy series “The Daygo Stream”, 114,000 words long, published on amazon on 15th-Sept ‘15. I’m from Ireland so it’s written in UK English.
A little about my writing style:
I grew up reading fantasy, and I love it, but often I found it was lacking a little in gritty realism, in the “Game of Thrones” type mould. My writing is very character centric and I’m always interested in seeing real people, real characters, dealing with the extraordinary circumstances of a fantasy world and even the extraordinary powers that they might possess. I love heroism and romance, but for me it has to be real, the type that we see in our own lives every day. What really interests me is putting this reality into a new world, with new laws, new cultures and new rules. The result is a test of the human spirit.
My own reading background:
Although I grew up reading fantasy- David Gemmell, Harry Potter, Robert Jordan- my mother was an English teacher and an avid reader, so she often passed on the best of what she read to me, which was mostly literary fiction. And though not often as easy a read, they were often the best books I’ve ever read. So I have a love for literary fiction as well as fantasy and I try to combine the best of both in my books.
Synopsis/ back of book blurb:
It’s not easy to survive in the slums.
Liam is an orphan, living with eight others in a dilapidated flat. Every day is a battle in the war to survive. As conditions deteriorate, and casualties rise, Liam begins to lose faith. He looks at the bums on the side of the streets with hate. They’ve given up the fight. They are weak. But it frightens him, how he sometimes longs for their life. Panic grows within his chest. Racquel offers him hope, something good to live for, in a place where there seems nothing but dirt. But what form of survival is worth living for? And what is Liam willing to do to survive? What is he willing to become?
Niisa lives in the great forests of the Chewe mountains. He knows he is the odd one in the tribe. He knows he is different. Daygo calls to him, it speaks to him in the sounds of the forest, in the falling of the rain, in brief glimpses of sunlight through the canopy of trees overhead. It is the life that inhabits all things, that fuels all movement. He will do anything to join the Waloleng de Kgotia, the famous priests of the daygo stream. The tribespeople might consider his actions evil … but they don’t understand.
The world is on the brink of famine and war. New magic is set to be unleashed. The beasts in the north, considered only a surreal page in history, raise their heads and consider, once again, marching south.
Daygo flows, but which way will the current pull …

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI visit your blogs and read some parts of it and thought you made some really great points. If you have a chance, please read and review my book if you are interested, titled " Enter The Monkey". Enter The Monkey is an exquisitely and often painfully soul-baring true life story. I think it might be of interest to your readers.If you do please let me know.
Thanks,
