Michael, We were involved in a review group last year. You did a great job reviewing HOLD ME AGAIN and greatly helped improve the revision. I had asked you last year if prior to my next publication you might consider a review. LOVES KINDRED SPIRITS is about ready for submission to my Publisher, Black Lyon. I wonder if I could forward it to you for your pre-publication review? Sincerely, Rory church.rory@gmail.com

Michael Aloysius O'Reilly My new novel—A Most Modern Love—is entered in an Amazon competition for digital publication.

You will see the competition (and a blurb along with a description of the novel) by clicking on the following URL:

https://kindlescout.amazon.com/p/AOAT...

Your click on the ‘Nominate me’ rectangle will help drive the editors at Amazon to consider the book for publication.
The payoff is not Hemingway or Doctorow country. A small advance, yes, but the Amazon marketing muscle will promote the book on Kindle giving it a chance to attract a national and international readership.

Your taking a moment to nominate A Most Modern Love will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Michael

Sorry about your knee, but thank goodness for modern medicine. Your book is breaking my heart. Very depressing. I hope not too much of it is from personal experience. Go onto Facebook and search for Book Connectors. There should be a tab for "join". Once you click it you will have to be approved. If you can't find it, I can ask how to do an invite. I am only on it a few days. (?)

Michael Aloysius O'Reilly I got accepted overnight by Book Connectors..but it may be too late to join in their Irish thing..

Thank you so much for the review. The novel is pretty grisly but there's a shaft of redeeming light, yes? I'm pleased you didn't give up. Not good for the beach.
Kind regards,
Michael

Hi Michael I'm sorry it's taken me so long to read the book. I'm homebound today. I had some minor surgery so I will finish it up and write the review. I was invited to join a closed fb group called Book Connectors. They are doing a World blog tour, and for the month of October it's all books Irish. They told me to invite anyone to the group that would be interested. You might want to be included in the blog tour?

Michael Aloysius O'Reilly Effie:
Sorry about your surgery. I just got a new knee courtesy of modern medicine and have to explain what it will do to the scanner at the airport.

It's a lovely invitation this world blog tour. What do I do to follow up? How do I get into their FB group?
Very kind of you.
It's incredible but as I sat to write this morning (perhaps 2 hours ago) I thought of you and the Orthodox tradition.
Kind regards,
Michael

How do you get inspired to write?

Michael Aloysius O'Reilly From 4-5 a.m. I dream of my characters. They speak in my ear. I get up and write their words which, like dreams, will evanesce.
