message 1: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Thurston | 21 comments I am looking for suggestions on how to promote my dad Frank Cereo. His books are great, they keep you wanting to know what's going to happen next. I know because not only am I a fan but I also help ti edit his books. He is not that great at promoting or getting himself out there so I am helping him, and looking for suggestions. Anything helps.

I have asked people that get the books to give him a review, however Amazon seems to always take them down, or to like him on Amazon because that helps with where his books are located on the listings.

PLEASE HELP!

Amanda M. Lyons (amandamlyons) Make a website, A FB author page and a twitter. All three and being active on them helps a great deal. Being social and talking to others also helps, networking is key.

Michelle Thurston | 21 comments He has everything but a twitter. I am not sure twitter is really up his ally! Thank you for the help. I am trying everything I can to promote him. Sharing his author updates as well as his website. I have had people reading his books and asking for a review in return of a free book but it seems like no one wants to help.


message 4: by Tristesse (new)

Tristesse Genevieve (TristesseGenevieve) Is he self-published? I am, and it hasn't been easy getting it out there. I have offered free pdf files on so many different groups, and no one really responds. I don't have a fb authors page, but I have a twitter, and honestly that doesn't seem like it does much either. Its just so hit or miss with these things sometimes. But its great that you are helping him. I hope you get his work out there! :)

Frank Csernetics | 54 comments Hi Michelle, I find it very touching that you are so passionate about helping your dad out. It's obvious you two love each other very much! My daughter is off living her busy life, I miss when she was younger and lived at home. I'm willing to offer you an author review swap, but I want you to read my book as I'd love to see how young girls respond to what I write.

Richard Shekari (richardshekari) | 21 comments "The Broken Wings Of Forgiveness"
Michael, a humble, devoted, kind husband and a caring father was struck by a tragedy that weakens his faith in good. He abandons everything to seek and to serve cold justice to those behind it as he joins forces with a powerful and mysterious deity on the condition that he has to save mankind and most importantly, track down his real enemies. The battle he faces makes him embrace his sole purpose in life but what he later discovers will either make or break him

K.A. Cross (kacross) | 15 comments Hi guys I'm starting something new on my blog. Sort of a meet the author thing. If you are interested please email me on naughtygoodgirl@hotmail.co.uk . Those that are interested, I will send you a series of interview questions which you can choose from. When you've answered some of the questions (anywhere between 10-15) send them back to me along with a picture of yourself and a cover image of your book and a small blurb about yourself. If you have a website or accounts on any social media sites I can add links to them as well. Depending on how well this goes I might do a regular weekly spot. I will email you when your interview is up. Like all of you I am also an author and I know how hard it is to promote your work. I just want to give a hand to authors just like myself.

If you want to check out my blog the link is http://k-a-cross.blogspot.co.uk I started my blog a little while ago before I had my website. Now I want to go back to the blog and help others like myself. If you'd like to check out my website too go to www.kacross.com

Drdiana | 4 comments Hi B.D.
I would really appreciate if I could do the interview with you (answer your questions and have it posted on your site).

My book is non-fiction so I'm not sure if I'll make the cut as I saw that you don't want to do non-fiction.
I am sending you this inquiry and info about my book.

I hope you will consider it. Thank you.Wisdom on Step-Parenting: How to Succeed Where Others Fail

Thank you. Kind Regards,

Rajiv Tanwar | 5 comments Ashtamangala adventures of Vasu : Vasu and the Matsya Temple


Destiny chooses Vasu on the day of his birth to be a part of the ongoing power struggle on this earth and he grows up to free the earth from all vices making it a better place to live.


The series chronicles the battles between Siddhivarun, the one who commands the oceans, and Samraat Viraat Shatru, who seeks to gain control over the world by wresting control of the waters. Driven by their passion for power, the Bhoomivasis and the Dhartiputras are battling each other too, and all this is weakening the world we all call home.



The key to power that everyone seeks is the Ashtamangala symbols that were created by the Matsya Avataar of Lord Vishnu. These symbols in their purest form can help anyone gain control over base human emotions that make people cruel. But, in the wrong hands, their power can be used to increase the intensity of these emotions, making it irresistible and irreversible.

Vasu's father, an archaeologist stumbles across one of the symbols and gives it to his son the day he is born, thus inextricably linking him to the other symbols. This sets in motion a chain of events that young Vasu cannot escape from. It is now up to him to understand how to survive in the ocean, be honest and courageous, and find the other symbols and get them all to Siddhivarun. Else, the world and all he loves will become his worst nightmare.

There can be
No Triumph without Loss
No Victory without Suffering
No Freedom without Sacrifice
And No Peace without War!
All will be sacrificed
All will be lost
Unless all unite and join
Vasu's fight against Evil.
