I am happy to announce that my third collection of short stories, 'Fusion', is now published!

Fusion is a collection of stories I have written over many years and have edited and updated/revised them for publication.

I am very pleased with the collection and hope you will enjoy the stories.

To celebrate the launch of the new book, I am applying a 40% discount at Lulu.com until Monday 10th January 2011!

Buy here!

I will be promoting my new book, 'Fusion', on various websites this month. To coincide with that promotion, I have a special price on the print book at Lulu.com -- 40% discount!

Here's the link:
Buy Fusion at Lulu.com

Look out also for competitions where you can win a pdf copy of the book. I'll post more news about these competitions soon.

If you check out my author spotlight, you'll see that most of my books are on sale at the moment (up to 40% off!). You can take the extra 15% off the discounted price. I hope this will entice more of you to shop at Lulu. It really is a great site where many independent authors publish their books. I have found many of my favourite books there :)

Happy browsing, shopping, and reading!!

Lulu.com is currently running a promotion where you can get 25% off any purchase until 6th January 2012 using the code ONEMORETHINGUK at the checkout.

I am only able to access the UK site so I am unsure whether there is a similar promotion for US customers, but I assume there must be. You just need to go to the Lulu.com homepage to check out the details of the discount code.

I also currently have a promotion running with up to 50% off my print books at Lulu, so if you use the special discount code you can get even more of a bargain!

Here's a link to my Lulu author page: Maria Savva -- Lulu Spotlight

Whilst you're there why not browse some other author pages. Here are some authors & books that I recommend:

Julie Elizabeth Powell -- Lulu Spotlight



Julie writes across the genres. She has written children's books, murder/mystery, fantasy, chick lit, short stories, poems. She is a very versatile writer and I enjoy her books immensely

Joel Blaine Kirkpatrick-- Lulu Spotlight



I can't say enough good things about Breathing into Stone, which is the only book I have read by this author. I love it! I am looking forward to reading his other books.

Alex Sumner-- Lulu Spotlight



I recently read The Magus, a murder/mystery with a paranormal twist. Definitely one of my favourite books of 2011. I am about to start the second book in the series.

Mark Rice-- Lulu Spotlight



Metallic Dreams is one of the best books I've ever read, I would highly recommend it; especially to music lovers and in particular rock/heavy metal fans.

Susan Helene Gottfried-- Lulu Spotlight



Susan Helene Gottfried writes rock n' roll fiction. After reading her short story Mannequin: A Short Story, I'm looking forward to reading her other work.

Bill See-- Lulu Spotlight




I would definitely recommend 33 Days: Touring In A Van. Sleeping On Floors. Chasing A Dream. by Bill See, former lead singer in '80s rock band Divine Weeks. It's an insightful memoir, and one of my favourite books of 2011.

Scott M Liddell-- Lulu Spotlight



Scott is a photographer, and in fact his photograph appears on the front cover of my novel Second Chances. When I contacted him to ask permission to use the photo, I discovered that he is also an author. I really enjoyed his novel The Beatle Man

Happy Reading!

My new novel, Haunted, scheduled for release on 31st October 2012, is featured in The Independent Paperback Gift Shop's Christmas Catalogue!




The Catalogue is packed full of Christmas gift ideas for the book lovers in your life. You can download a pdf copy of the catalogue from my website. Just go to Http://www.mariasavva.com and scroll down to the bottom of the Home page. You'll find a link to download the catalogue in the bottom right hand corner of the page (in the box that says "I.P. Giftshop")

Please 'Like' the Gift Shop on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheIndependen... It helps to promote independently published books.

A brief update on Haunted:

As I write this blog, I am about a third of the way through the final edits. I hope to have a finished version by the end of this week. It will then be sent to my formatter eBookBuilders

I am still hopeful the Kindle version will be available by the 31st October. If not, I will update you.

I will have a paperback version available to buy through Lulu.com, in time for your Christmas gift purchases. For some reason, Amazon are taking a very long time to get around to making paperback books from Lulu available in the store, so I can't guarantee that the Amazon paperback will be available in time for Christmas. Lulu is a great site to purchase Independent books, however, and I actually get a higher royalty if you buy direct from Lulu rather than Amazon, so would encourage you to buy Independent books from there whenever you can. I know their postage prices can be off-putting, but there are often great discounts available.

Please tell all your friends about The Independent Paperback Gift Shop's Christmas Catalogue. I hope you find some great new books to read!

Great news for those of you who prefer print books... Haunted is now available to buy as a paperback from Lulu.com!

Here's the link you need: http://www.lulu.com/shop/maria-savva/...

For the next few days, to celebrate the launch, there is also a 20% discount available for anyone who buys it.

Enjoy!

For the next few days there are great savings to be had at Lulu.com (offer ends 16th November 2012).

I, and many other self-published authors, publish our books through Lulu.com. I've discovered some of my favourite writers there, including, fantasy author Julie Elizabeth Powell.

Check out my author page where you can find copies of all my books. I have discounts available on all my paperbacks, ranging from 20% - 50%!

On top of those existing discounts for the next few days, if you use the code: SERENTIS at the checkout, you get an extra 20%

What this means to you is you're basically getting the books cheaper than the usual price and saving the cost of postage and package. So it's well worth checking out the site.

My latest novel,Haunted, has a 20% discount already, so with the extra 20%, there are some real savings there.

I hope you're all planning to buy lots of books this Christmas, not only because I'm an author, but because books make the perfect gifts, don't they? There are all sorts of books, on all different subjects; you can't really go wrong with a book as a gift.

With this in mind, I have decided to reduce the price of my books until the end of the month in case you're planning to buy any of them. Christmas is an expensive time of year. All my novels (apart from my latest release, Haunted) will be just $1.99/£1.24 for Kindle, and all my short story collections will be only 99 cents/77p for Kindle.

Here's a link to my author page on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Maria-Savva/e/B...

Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maria-Savva/e...


Kindle books can be bought as gifts on Amazon.com. As long as you know someone's e-mail address you can send them a Kindle book as a gift. Even if they don't have a Kindle e-reader, they can download a free application from Amazon so they can read the book on their smartphone, iPad, PC, or Mac.

If you prefer to buy paperbacks, I've also reduced the prices of most of my books on Lulu.com: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/mariasavva

As the Christmas season is nearly upon us and some of you may be thinking of stocking up on books for your friends, I thought I'd let you know about the great discount I've heard about on my Lulu.com paperback books.

If you buy up to 14 books by 5th December (midnight), and use code LULUVIP466781 at the checkout, you can get 30% off any of my books! You'll see that some of my books are already available at a discounted price, so this makes them even more of a bargain buy!

Here's a link to my page at Lulu: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/mariasavva

Most of my books are available there.
