It is my birthday!

Today being my birthday, I watch another year click off, on the calender of life.My wife has my birthday present all wrapped up for me, LOL, I will open it later today. Life has been a series of ups and downs, she has smoothed out the road a lot for me. If it weren't for her, I would never have started publishing any of my books that I have written over the years.
Now, on to other things. I have started a rafflecopter to give away some free ebooks, for those that want to enter. I'm still not sure how I go about it, but I pasted it on my face book page and attached it to my blogs. I am like a kid swimming with blinders on, I might screw it up, but with others helping I just might get the word out. LOL!
It has been a nice change for me to become so engaged on Social Media, I have made a lot of new friends and acquaintances that are becoming my friends as time goes on. Sharing their hopes and aspirations in life.
Though I will most likely never write a best seller, I enjoy the reader's feedback on my books. Hearing good words even though my books might not be perfect, they are entertaining. That is what I strive for, giving a reader a little escape from life's problems. Hopefully, they might pick up tidbits on how to improve life, in their daily lives.
I will be adding a spot on this blog soon Called "Blinded by the spotlight," featuring authors or books each week. Look for it, you will enjoy reading about these authors or books. If you are short of reading material in paperback or ebooks just go to my author's site on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/author/agmoye
my books are shown there. Have a great day and remember, talk back, I'm Listening  

This week's selection into the final five book cover contest.

Announcing this weeks selection into the final five in our book cover contest. This lady did it all herself and seemed to like it getting the most likes of those posting their likes. Join Lightning Chronicles on MARsocail and post your favorite book cover. It might even get selected into the final five and be the over all winner. At least it will be posted on my blogs when you enter. Make sure you post it only on Lightning Chronicles because I don't visit other sites that often. Here is the link http://marsocial.com/group/lightning-chronicles/

    I wish Joan Fallon the best of luck in the finals. 

Now back to me and my books. "Lightning Rages" is still in editing and looks like it won't be ready to be published until in December, 2013. I keep my fingers crossed it will still happen. Down to the final chapter of Chronicles of the Marauder Book Three and then it will join the line up waiting to be edited. LOL! Waiting is not something I am good at.  To view my other books that are published just go to  http://www.amazon.com/author/agmoye or  http://www.amazon,co.uk/author/agmoye  I try to keep them updated as much as possible. 

Talk back, I'm listening!

New entries in book cover contest

This week we have only a couple of new entries in our contest but I will give them the royal treatment they deserve. If you have a book cover you think you would like to enter, join this site and post it on what's new? you can do so by following this link if I get it right. http://marsocial.com/group/lightning-chronicles/ and I will include your cover with links to your book on my next post. As this week progresses I have been really busy and haven't spent much time on my site on MARSocial but I will get back to it shortly. I have been busy writing or finishing up my final book in the "Chronicles of the Marauder series". I am on my final chapter of book three ready to work on the editing but it is in line for my editor being busy editing my "Lightning Rages" the final book of my Lightning in the Tunnel series. I entered part of the book, (chapter twenty-six) in the author of the week competition calling it "Jody's Dilemma" It finished in the top ten but since it was unedited, it didn't do as well as I expected. I just have to have the final book of the series edited by a good editor. Now here is one of the new entries to the cover contest!

Here is another that occured in the last minute of the previous week still in the running!

Kindle Edition: http://amzn.com/B00DKCZQEA

Take a gander at these books, you might find one you like. One thing I have found in this contest is how much work each author puts into writing his or her story and needed the exposure to allow readers to see their work is out there. They pour their heart and soul into these books. Not written by a named author but by aspiring writers that one day might write the next best seller. I look forward to reviewing them on this site one day. Right now, I don't have a chance to read them being so swamped with concluding or starting my next books. 

One thing I have noticed that a lot of books out right now that have some sort of eye on the cover of them. I wonder if that is a trend? LOL I have two of them myself! Talk back, I'm Listening! The SpaceCowboy is signing off for today!

This week's book cover winning selections

This past week's selection of the best book covers ended in a tie, so both book covers advance to the finals to face three other books judged to be the best, of those submitted. It was tough selecting the best from all the entries. Get in this week's running by joining our group and posting your cover along with links where your book can be found. To post your cover use this link http://www.marsocial.com/group/lightning-chronicles/
There on "what is new" post your book and links on the same page, making it easier for me to post them on this blog and for everyone to vote on their favorite selection. Votes are only part of the process, all entries are rated by three catagories.
On a scale one to five then tallied up, including the likes to determine the winner. Like one of our co-selections listed below.
 http://www.amazon.com/In-Name-Freedom-Slave-Trader-ebook/dp/B0081C6GIE/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1382262262&sr=1-1

 Blurb for Slave Trader – In the Name of Freedom

For the past three years, young prostitutes and destitute women have been vanishing without trace. Their fates unknown, the only common links to their disappearances are their good looks and prison records.
Never before has a cop been taken.
Detective Billie McCoy, a member of an elite undercover squad, is on assignment when she stumbles onto a slavery racket that goes deeper than she could ever have imagined. Plunged into a web of corruption and evil, not only does she have to contend with the slave traders, but her fellow prisoners – all who hate cops.
Stretching from the streets of Sydney to the rainforests in far north Queensland, it’s a race against time. Filled with determination, disappointment and twists, the story follows Billie’s fight for freedom and her greatest ever challenge. She will need all her cunning and skill to get out alive and see justice done.
Blood will be spilt, hopes will be destroyed – all to uncover a plot so unpredictable that only fate can decide . . . .

Cold Morning!

The mornings are getting colder, so my early morning walk requires a coat. Now the only thing that gets cold is my hands and ears. I guess I should wear something on my ears. Today I decided to post something different than just posting other people's book covers. I might add them on the end of the post and again, maybe not! I am trying to read a little more but find I'm on my social site more than I would like. I didn't know that hosting a cover contest would take up so much time along with trying to get the word out. I still have time to write. My "Lightning Rages" is still in editing and hope to have it published soon. Chronicles of the Marauder Book One is being re-edited so it will be revised soon. When it was read in print, I noticed too many ! marks being used. I guess when I speak for the characters I think they are exclaiming something when they are not, just talking. LOL It was not caught in the first editing.  As a writer improves, he/she learns a lot about their tendencies while writing. I know when I first started writing long hand, I tended to use "and" a lot. I now watch that closely. Another action connector I use a lot is "as", I am trying to get away from that. Writing is tough, especially if you try to make it easier and readable for the reader while keeping their attention through the flow of the story.
I am on the final chapter of "Chronicles of the Marauder- Book Three" trying to figure out exactly how I intend to end it. Should I leave a possibility of another book or just end it period? I guess I will decide when I reach the final lines. LOL If you haven't read the series and are into SiFi check out my author site and read a little of each book. Maybe you will find it interesting. http://www.amazon.com/author/agmoye for my friends in Great Britain it is http://www.amazon.co.uk/author/agmoye
