| Where
do you go to find a missing goblin? | |

After 22 years of a blogging life, and
leading up to retirement, I researched the best way to escape its most
troublesome demands. Found a
foolproof method for those who have acquired twitchy writing syndrome
but don't want the hassle of readers. Write
books.

"Audio
was the first version in which I shared this story when I wrote it for my sister
Anna and her daughter Laura in 2002," said the author Zsolt Kerekes. "when
I read it out aloud from my handwritten draft. It was always in my mind to
produce an audiobook version at sometime, and without this great AI narration
done by Google my readers would've had to wait another year for an adiobook
edition - because of my other writing commitments. The ebook and paperback
editions of the Princess Laura book were published in 2023. I hope the audio
version will introduce the story to a new generation of families in an easy to
digest way." | |

 Can
history be an unvarnished list of past events? Or is it always a cloak:
word-woven to legitimize the last victor's status? All being well (in Oct 2024)
I invite you to read my novel.
The Goblins are
Coming! A small family's legend entwined with Earth's 1 million year past
and 1,000 year future.

By way of an apology - If you've seen this box before with different
words - it's because I'm testing various short promotional text snippets to this
book of mine so that by the time it's ready I might have figured out what words
to place in the blurb to sell it. My habit (of late) has been to publish the
book first and start thinking about how to market it later. | |

books I've read from
authors connected on twitter
A year ago I joined twitter to
see what other authors were saying about their writing and publishing
experiences. I found a fascinating community of welcoming people 99% of whose
books I would never have known about otherwise. From time to time I'll feature
here some books I've read from the wonderful writers I met there. | |

Murder on the Alpha Centauri
Express
by Steve Downes -
author's own website
who
tweets here: @writer_s_downes |
I wrote a
long and
appreciative review here on goblinsearch.
"My thoughts went
back to Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and some detective themed stories in Isaac
Asimov's Robot books - The Caves of Steel. It was a good feeling. But there was
something more too. As if H G Wells had managed to include a glimpse of Star
Trek in his time machine but had written about what he saw in an artful way
which his contemporary Victorian readers would be able follow." |

Secrets of the Nile
by
PauleneTurner - author's own website
who
tweets here: @PauleneTurner |
I wrote a
short review of this on Amazon "intrigued
by the cover, captivated by the sample, loved the book I'm so glad I took the
risk of trying this story..."
Later:- I read and reviewed the next
2 books in the series too.
Re book #2 - Revenge of the Black Knight:
- On
Amazon I said - Sorry I can't say more about the book but I have to leave
you while I click back to the kindle store and buy the next one in the series..
- On X I
tweeted - Demographically I'm more Oh Yea than YA, but I recently finished
reading Revenge of the Black Knight by @PauleneTurner as an antidote to reading
darker non fiction. I whizzed through it in a busy weekend. So enjoyable and
uplifting with clever twists and engaging characters
Re book #3 -
Shoot-out at Death Canyon
- On X I
tweeted - You'll never see a gunfight the same way again. All the westerns
you've ever enjoyed rolled into a rich time traveling tapestry of wild west
rough riding and high stake gambles. Wish I could travel forwards in time right
now to start reading book #4.
And as I write this (in April
2024) I'm eagerly awaiting Paulene's 4th. |

The Secret at Sunset Hill
by
K.T. McGivens -
author's
web page
who tweets here: @KMcgivens |
I hadn't yet acquired the
habit of writing reviews when I read Secret at Sunset Hill. At that time I had
about 20 followers on twitter and my web site didn't have links or blurbs to
all my own books that I'd recently self published either. But you've got to
start new habits somewhere right?
I saw a
tweet by the
author and
I replied this
- I just finished your first. Not a genre I've read much before. Except Dorothy
Sayers - does that count? A long time ago. Now I'm a convert. The Secret at
Sunset Hill was a delight. Washed my cares away. If it hadn't been for twitter I
would never have known what I was missing. |
