Japanese Light Novel Book Club discussion

Hello!

My name is Colin Rink and I am the author of the book Chase of the Rising Sun. Newer user to Goodreads, and hoping this is the right way to go about doing this. I have created this group to see if there are any Japan like-minded readers who would be interested in reading my book and discussing it over the next several months! Would give it free of course, just hoping to get it more out there to like-minded groups!

The story is an adventure novel that follows a man who turns 30, then leaves his life in Vancouver, BC Canada to pursue a life in Tokyo and Japan. I've posted a link to the book as well as a Synopsis of the book below.

Thanks, and if this is not the right way to go about doing this, I sincerely apologize. If you could direct me 'how to' that would be also great.

Colin

Synopsis

Immersive, fascinating and with an ending that will quite simply… blow your socks off!

Who ever really knows themselves? And if you don’t know yourself, can you ever be truly happy? Mark Rasper is a thirty-year old man who has always had a fascination with Japan. It started when he played Metal Gear Solid with school buddy Paul, becoming thoroughly captivated not only by everything Japanese, but by the character Solid Snake. When a transfer opportunity turns up at the company he works for, he doesn’t hesitate, and before he has time to change his mind he is on a plane to Tokyo. Mark is no tourist; he is there to be absorbed into this kaleidoscope of colors, with its rich heritage and honorable lifestyle. He soon learns that karoshi means overworked to death, and that being able to sing makes him a karaoke star! But what will he learn about himself? Is he embracing a new life, or simply running away? What will it take for him to stop and really look deep?

Chase of the Rising Sun is an invitation to take a peek into the wonderful, colorful world that is Japan. Soak up traditions, and experience real life in Tokyo – a world apart from ‘Lost in Translation.’ Absorb the atmosphere; get to know the people, and witness first-hand one of the most devastating events in Japanese history.

Drench yourself in Japanese culture, and to read a story with an unexpected and extremely powerful ending!

Hi Colin! Posting discussions about novels is fine, but the "Group Read" moniker is reserved for reads the group votes for. As such, I've adjusted your thread title

Hi Selena,

Thanks for getting back to me and changing the threat title. Tried messaging you directly, but am unable to do so. Do you now where might be a better platform to get people interesting in reading, or get interest from a readers circle of my book?

Thanks!

Colin
