Hooray or Boo?

The announcement of my newly Published Chronicles of the Marauder, Book one was greeted with skepticism by the non science fiction fans but with great fanfare by those SiFi fans when it was published. I just hope there are more Sifi fans out there than not. Anyway, time to introduce some of the other Aliens in my book.
Solay the Wispee, that looks like a giant bee without the wings and antennae. He is an engineer in the past and joins the Marauder when the choice is the airlock or becoming a member of the crew after being shanghaied, when Neil took the ship while still connected to the space station and fled.
Elan, the Soorita that thinks humans are ugly, even though he looks human except for his over hanging upper lip and no hair anywhere on his head or body. He is also a cannibal by choice; forced to become a crew member on the bridge.
I've already mentioned the Zeelar Doctor, Poopa who is nine feet tall, looking like to Neil a walking stick insect from Earth. Only with a huge Praying Mantis looking head that can stretch her neck up to twenty feet away, along with fourteen appendages.
Kona, the horse looking creature that walks on four paws not hooves, with another set of appendages that he uses like hands. Having no tail and no mane they originally called his species Hosspaws until they learned otherwise. Being both a doctor and Scientist, he along with Poopa became invaluable members of the crew.

Sochan, the pale zombie looking creature that can read minds with just a touch or make herself invisible when she wills it. She becomes a member of the bridge officers when she learns what love is and to care for others.  You can read and enjoy the story at these links: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BM5L606 or for the paperback http://www.createspace.com/dp/4190580 and in a few days the paperback will be on Amazon as well worldwide. I will let you know! Talk back to me, I'm listening! for my other books go to http://www.amazon.com/author/agmoye

Just another day?

Yesterday, I was awaiting the word that I had another baby, yes like I said before, writing a book is like having a child. I now have thirteen books out, now I know it is time to slow down and help raise my other children along with growing readers for my books published. I admit Lightning in the Tunnel series was mostly written before I ever had the first one published, so I haven't really written thirteen books in two years. Only really five or should I say four, since Brandi's Nightmare was written even before I wrote the Lightning in the Tunnel series. I don't count re-writes as new books. 
When Chronicles of the Marauder went live on Amazon yesterday, I felt great relief and happiness. Now comes the decision on which book to work on next. Planet of the Midnight Mists or the sequel to Chronicles of the Marauder called book two. My wife seems to think writing science fiction I do best, it just shows she is a SiFi fan! So since she is the one that pushed me to Publish, I guess it will be one of those two leaving my western off the stove, not even on the back burner! I might do the sequel to "A Stranger comes Crawling" if the readers so ask. I do have another book ready to be edited and should get it edited in the next couple of months called "Lightning in the Tunnel-Rescue" it is the re-write of Lightning in the Tunnel in the Beginning, the second half portion that I took off the market. Lightning in the Tunnel Begins" replaces the first half of the original book. It will be published when the editing ends.
I am posting another picture of my baby along with links to Kindle!

 You can download your copy here. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BM5L606 for only $2.99 for now!
After it gets a few reviews under its belt the price may go up.

Back from Editing!

Only months after Publishing "Brandi's Nightmare" my mystery book. My "Chronicles of the Marauder"  is finally ready to publish. I've decided to go Indie again and publish it on Amazon kindle first. It might be live in a number of hours, when it does, I will post an announcement on Google plus along with tweeting it to all my followers. My tweets automatically go to Facebook and author central.. I wish all my sites could be this easy!  Then in a few days have the print version ready to go to print.

 For those of you that do not know that I have been working on this book for a few months, I posted the cover of the book so when you go to order it, you will know what it looks like. I know all you science fiction fans out there have been holding your breaths just waiting on it to be finished!
Besides the human characters you will meet, Neil Armstrong Andrews the main character. You will meet Janice the tough ex-navy commander that is in command of the ship, even though Neil is technically in charge. Events prevent him from directing the crew until she accepts him in the Captain's role.
You will meet Poopa the Alien Doctor that is one of my favorite characters. Sockan, the female Alien that can read minds of any creature she touches, make herself invisible to humans among other talents. They form a formidable team, taking risks and adventures in deep space far from Earth where the Marauder started from. This hopefully will be a two book maybe three, it depends on what kind of trouble they get into in Book II. Life in outer space can be very treacherous.
Once again, I wish to thank Kate the Half-light for her great cover.

Mailbox clutter!

  Everyday I start my morning off with a cup of coffee then I look at my emails. Some days it is so crowded that it takes me an hour to go through them because I read almost everyone. Don't get me wrong, I like getting emails because it lets me know that people are out there and some want to share information with me just as I want to share information to them. Some just want to chat, that is good!
Some are trying to sell me this or that. It seems like a lot of people are making money off the Internet. That is good for them, I chose to use the Internet as a means to contact people all over the world and get to know them a little better. I of course have to mention sometime or another about my books. After all, what is a writer without readers. I know most of my contacts are with other writers and they have no desire to read my books but to tell me about their book. That is okay, I listen! We each have to do our part as Indie writers to get the word out about our books, if we don't who will especially those of us that can't afford to pay to have someone else to do it for us. As people slowly get to recognize our name, then someone will mention to someone else they read one of the books and they mention it to another, then we become slightly known instead of just another unknown author.
  Those that jump on the Indie Publishing bandwagon expecting to get rich, just remember it happens to a very few of us and that it takes time to get known out here in the Internet world. You have to be the tortoise plugging along unless you have a lot of money to throw out there and put ads everywhere and hope you get good reviews or pay someone to review them so people might buy them quickly but remember one thing! Most authors going this route never make back what they spend to try to sell their books. I read those that are successful at getting notice unless they are selected by Amazon if it is an ebook to be featured your sales will be modest at the best. But remember, there is that one in a million chance you might become the next number one seller so just hang in there and keep writing!
  So here is today's plug! A mystery book that is written by a snake with so many twists and twists along with who knows how many who did suspects that keeps you in suspense check out "Brandi's Nightmare" http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482069747 or for just the ebook on kindle check out at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B50XLFU for all those mystery/suspense readers out there!      Talk back to me, I'm Listening!

Wishful Thinking

Yesterday, I went through setting up my author sites on Amazon in Germany, France and United Kingdom, I found it was a little difficult in Germany and France to get all my books added to my author's site but emails from them this morning showed me how and that my books were listed on the sites there. I just have to return to to my author's page and get them added. Japan is a different story. The don't list English books on their site. They may add them in the future but right now it is only Japanese books. The most difficult thing I found in building an author platform worldwide is realizing that everyone does things a little different than what I am used to and there are not that many that read the English language in some countries, so I don't expect a huge amount of sales. Reaching a handful around the world will make me happy. Thank goodness for the translation key, it helps me to understand them especially the tweets and comments. Touching one person in every country on tweeter makes my day. Does it make yours or do you ignore those overseas because you don't expect them to buy your book?
  My voice card must have went out on my computer so I can't use Skype or Google hangouts or even Utube to chat or record a video. I bought a new microphone thinking that is the problem but all that anyone hears is static. I have not started my blogtalk radio program because of that. I guess I am going to have to drop that from my list of new avenues to build my author platform and get the word out. When mechanical things don't work, that tends to frustrate me easily.  So goes life!

Trying to hard!

Ever try to make a relationship work when you know there is no chance it will? But you just can not give up because your heart won't let you! Try, try and try again until finally after shedding tons of tears and become angry at life, you step away because they really don't want you or they have someone else they really want to spend their life with! I spent eighteen happy years married to Lisa (Alicia) but then she became distant and sought someone else. Her answer was she had dreams when she was younger of doing this and doing that but not what she was doing with me. So after a few million tears I shed, I let her go and for a couple of years I struggled to keep my life together being very successful at work, I concentrated on that thinking I would never find happiness again. Life sometimes finds a way to work things out. I met the most wonderful person by accident being frustrated trying to get my Internet to work. I decided to go have a drink at a local bar. I hadn't drank during my eighteen years of marriage (It ended at twenty) until she left. I guess I started to drink to cope with the pain. Anyway, I met the love of my life that day but didn't know it. Her rocky marriage was falling apart and we just talked. Soon, we were meeting at that bar on a regular basis. We became good friends (she is now my best friend) and we started dating. A year after we met, I asked her to marry me and she did! So my message to everyone is when your world falls apart and the heartaches happen. Take Heart there might just be someone out there that will put your world back together and make you happier than you have ever been! I know my wife will most likely read this knowing how much we love each other and how happy she has made me. I don't know why I felt like writing this, this morning but I did. Maybe, I wrote this because I was wondering how many people are out there in a losing relationship that should just let go and find happiness!
Maybe I wrote this because my best friend and wife pushed me to actually publish my books that I wrote over the years but never bothered to publish. I knew I enjoyed writing but it was more of a stress reliever than to actually get published. Now, I can't stop writing and publishing after discovering others out there enjoyed my books so much and are looking forward to the next one. I will write and publish the last of the Lightning in the Tunnel series later this year. I have been side tracked writing other books and having written the final chapters yet of Lightning Rages.
Talk back to me, I'm Listening! if you are at a loss on what book to read next check out me out at http://amazon.com/author/agmoye
 I have a variety of  fiction books from Aliens, Time Travel,and  mystery to apocalyptic/dystopia for your reading pleasure!

Won't leave you hanging!

After the response I received when I asked the question on whether or not to leave the reader hanging, I have decided to add another chapter or so to the book so they are not left hanging in "Chronicles of the Marauder" because I agree. No one wants to wait until the next book to see what happens even in a series when it effects the plot. Thanks to those that responded especially Susan, she made a lot of sense. I thought about it thinking that if I left them hanging they would want to get the next book in the series to find out what happened but then like the response said, they would be disappointed in the book and may not want to buy the next one because they would be afraid it would also leave them hanging. Enough said!
How is your day going, mine got off to a slow start after practicing guitar lessons again last night. I am taking these lessons so I will be able to play while my wife sings, she has a great voice and my goal is to get her recorded once we become good enough writing our own songs. I think we are about a year away from being able to say we are fair players. Me, I'm further away than she is! The fingers don't work on the guitar strings as well as they do on the keyboard of this computer. Ha! Ha!
Writing good books takes time and I see the difference between my earlier books and those I write now, every author has to evolve and my evolution has come slowly with each new book I write. My first books had a lot of sex scenes in them because when I wrote them, the belief was Sex Sales but I was wrong in that aspect because everyone talked about the sex in them not about the story. I rewrote the first book I wrote and because of the improvements in it, I had to make it two books, the first revised "Lightning in the Tunnel Begins" has been concluded even though I went back and revised it twice more even after it was published. The second part of the first book is called "Lightning in the Tunnel-Rescue" is about finished revising but still has to be edited then I will publish it. This fills the gap between "Begins" and Zigzagging Home my book by a different publisher that after my contract ends, I might re-write as well, who knows? That is five years from now!

If you want to start reading the series this one is available on Amazon both ebook (99 cents) and paperback as well at this link. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009EAWB2M for those that want to get into it.
