Hello Everyone!

Phil, I believe the only way you're ever going to get an endorsement from any celebrity (including O'Reilly and Beck), is if your book is super popular and on the radar as being either a great book or really controversial. But that happens through word of mouth, and that's hard to get.

Those guys are super busy and usually don't have time to read something unless it is news, or it comes from one of their inner circle of friends. (I know... I've tried as well a few years ago with no success!)

But, you never know unless you try, so keep plugging away at it... I don't have much other advice. I mean endorsements are cool, but word-of-mouth is what you need to light a fire under, and like I said, that is super hard... but good luck with your book!

Hey Millie,
I've been in the group for a while now, too, and I have been promoting my work here. As long as you post within the category that your book is in, you shouldn't have any problems. Just scroll down on the homepage until you find the discussion topic best suited to your book (Science-fiction, young adult, mystery, what have you) and then post away inside that discussion thread. That's what I did! (See In the Light of the Eclipse thread under "Young Adult).

Have fun, keep writing and keep reading!

The back of the book text for my new novel, In the light of the Eclipse has been released. If you'd like to know more, go to http://publications.divinetrinityfilm...

In The Light of the Eclipse
Where God so loved the world, Heather (or as few have dared to dub her “the goddess of condemnation”) holds a much crueler hand over her inhabitants. Every seventeen years, under her ever-watchful eye, an eclipse renders her land dark, taking the soul of everyone over the age of seventeen to the land of the unknown nothing. In its wake, Heather bestows the gift of a child upon the land. Some believe this child has special powers; others believe she inhabits the souls taken by the eclipse. But no matter the belief, one thing is certain—without the child, the land would crumble.

Most accept the eclipse and live every breath with a love unmatched by any other. This is especially true of Zoe, whose seventeenth year of breath nears ever so close. Born under the eclipse, Zoe understands her life is a gift and that she will return that gift in kind—whenever that day may be (that is until she falls in love and discovers the dark secrets hidden in the heart of Heather).

Still others yearn for a longer life and curse Heather’s name. One such person was branded the name Kayla on her day of breath eighteen years ago. Unable to comprehend the meaning of such viciousness, Kayla believes such a sacrifice is unnecessary, even for the worst of mankind. Little does she know that a mysterious traveler may hold the key to ending the eclipse forever.

Zoe and Kayla are best friends.

This is their story.

It's official. My new novel, In the Light of the Eclipse, will be released in both print and digital formats on November 26, 2013. The young adult novel follows Zoe on her quest to stop an eclipse that haunts her land every seventeen years and save her best friend, Kayla, from its deadly curse. More information will follow in the next couple of weeks, but to whet your appetite, the cover art for the novel has also been released. To check it out, go to: http://publications.divinetrinityfilm...
