Blurb:
Pelmen hates being a tanner, but that’s all he would ever be, thanks to the rigid caste system amongst his people, the hevelens. Then he meets Master Galn Boisencroix and his family. The master carpenter opens up the world of archery to young Pelmen, who excels at his newfound skill. But Pelmen’s intractable father would have none of it, and tries to force Pelmen to stay in the tannery.
One day, however, Pelmen’s best friend and Master Galn's son, Teleg, disappears. Lured away by the prospect of untold riches through mining amberrock, the most precious substance in the world, Teleg finds himself a prisoner of the Nylevs, fierce fire-wielding worshippers of the god of destruction.
Now Pelmen must leave all he knows behind, overcome his fears and travel across the land, in search of his childhood friend. Along the way, he will ally himself with strange and fantastic beings: a shaman who controls the Breath of Aoles, or the power of the wind, a krongos, a creature of the mineral realm who can become living rock, and a malian, adept at water magic.

So What's Next!
Do you or a family member or a friend require a boostto their self-esteem ?
We all need to maintain a healthy level of self-esteem.
Think of it like a car engine. It needs careful monitoring and requires regular top ups of oil and water.

My e-book entitled ' How To Increase Your Self-Esteem And Avoid Becoming A Circus Elephant'
is available as a free download from Amazon.com (Kindle) right now and until 10pm Sun 18th May.
It's a belter of a little book (Only 29 pages)that is full of little golden nuggets and if you like quotes you will love this book !

Check out Citizen Dead (The Harvest #1) - If you enjoy it, I'll provide you with a FREE copy of Dead Anarchy (The Harvest #2) http://amzn.to/1g96GBDFollowing a catastrophic chemical spill, the dead rises - they’re hungry and demand equal rights.
“I love these characters, and what a mixed bag of people they are!”
Twenty-two-year-old Roam Stephens and the prideful citizens of Moone Crest find themselves defending their small mountain town against a mob of the dead. The existing grudges, romances and ambitions of the living ones sow tension as they attempt to unite against a common enemy. As easy as picking a side seems, some are quick to form alliances against their own kind. From polluted coast to coast, the political and brute struggle amongst the cohabited lands of the living and the dead, rages on. For Roam, the battle line blurs after being contaminated and he begins to questioning whether he’s alive or dead.
“My only complaint was there wasn’t more. Pick it up, check it out and don’t drink the water.”

Meanwhile, dissention is growing within the ranks of the Earth Federation Fleet. Ships continue to go missing, and the military needs someone to blame. A war with the Sentient Concord seems inevitable.
But if the Earth Federation destroys the Sentient Concord, who will fight the true enemy? For the Sentient Concord is the only government that knows the truth about the hellish Theta entities...
…Entities that want Tebrey dead, and are willing murder entire worlds to make it happen.

Hi - Just to let you know that the books 'Corpalism'
and 'Daydream Believers'
will be FREE from Amazon for Kindle/PC download from Tuesday 9th June to Saturday 13th June 2015, all I ask is that you kindly leave a review.Click this link for Corpalism and Daydream Believers on Amazon.Co.Uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_n...
Click this link for Corpalism and Daydream Believers on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...
To help you decide if these are your kind of books I've attached a brief description of each
Corpalism -
The first part is based in an economically dystopian future, a fast-paced thriller that moves in a believable way between fact and fiction, the second part plunges the unsuspecting reader into the distressed mind of Stephanie White a political activist from the new Independent party and victim of the latest terror atrocity locked in a coma fighting a trivial persona her mother has imposed upon her through years of brainwashing, whilst the third has several characters, including Stephanie and Donald from the previous volumes, in a pub arguing various topics from various points of view; the reader being left to decide which is valid. Part four brings all the threads together and the final part is set 20 years in the past.
Daydream Believers-
Revolutionary pensioners who are fed up with unchecked immigration and hell bent on removing corrupt politicians, sexually predatory murderous fat ladies, Machiavellian political intriguers, a mad-eyed Preacher trying to reach the souls of a disinterested public, a chivalric knight, men at work, an avenging 'hand of god', a celebrity 'golden' couple sleeping with everyone but their partner, jackpot winners and a homicidal diarist all combine to create an entertaining story of modern-day Britain.
If you know anyone else who might be interested please feel free to let them know.
Cheers
Arun
Giveaway for my book Three Seasons. Ten copies available, until June 15 (but UK only I'm afraid).https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
Blurb:
A washed-up trawler captain. A sleek young businessman. And the Master of an Oxford college. Through these three characters, all beautifully drawn, Mike Robbins has created a vivid picture of the 1980s, a divisive era of great change.
Three Seasons is a book of three novellas, unconnected with each other, but all set in the south of England in the 1980s. In Spring, a middle-aged Hull trawler skipper, his great days gone, has one last throw of the dice in a South Coast port. In Summer, an ambitious young man makes his way in the booming Thames Valley property market, unconcerned with the damage he does to others. In Autumn, the Master of an Oxford college welcomes his two sons home, but they awake difficult memories from half a century before.
Three Seasons is about the Thatcher era in Britain, but it is not about politics. These three stories are portraits of a country and its people on the verge of change.

'I am dying, in a few seconds they will find my corpse splattered on the pavement, the Santa clause suit soaked in my blood and a dumb look on my face.
I am dying; if the revolver pointing at my head fails then the fall will do the trick, so I guess I've got options haha.
I am dying, and all I can see is a little boy waving a finger at me, disappointed, pouting, wishing he never had to grow up to become me. I am dying and... holy shit, I am dying. I am dying.'.
In his final moments, a mentally unstable New Yorker attempts to save himself by altering the memories that are flashing by before his eyes, hoping to change his past and prevent his imminent demise.
