BookSpark discussion

Hello, everyone! I've noticed that a lot of my fellow members (you) have been posting books that you've published and/or are soon to be published on random threads, so I thought it might be nice to have a thread specifically for books published by members.

I'll start. I just published the first book in my YA science fiction series, The Foxfire Chronicles. The book is called Shadows of Past Memories, and is about two best friend who are thrown into turmoil when one discovers she's being hunted by an otherworldly madman, and that she has a secret past she never knew about. It's more of a light science fiction, with a bit of romance and old-fashioned horror.

If interested, please check out my website, where you can view the book trailer and read the first few chapters: http://www.alexandralanc.com



Looking forward to seeing everyone's books!

Great idea Alexandra!! And congrats on your new published book!!!!

I have a book coming out in december... its a YA paranormal. The details are here:

Thank you! And can't wait for your new book. ;)

Thanks!!

There is a very similar thread by the way called "what's Writing, Yo" I know, I should've probably named it something more obvious lol. But nothing wrong with starting another thread about it! :D

Sorry, I thought that was more of an "I'm currently working on" rather than an "I just published" thread. My bad...

Hi All, In the spring my 1st science fiction novel was published, The Metalmark Contract. It's a hard SF first contact story about an enigmatic alien trader who offers humankind a tempting deal: a quantum leap to starship technological in return for the rights to planet Mercury and moon Triton. What could go wrong? It's getting great reviews on Shelfari and in other blogs: http://www.shelfari.com/books/2336834...

Fans of Sir Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov would like TMC. If you like that sort of book, enjoy!

Best, Dave

I love SF, David! Will definitely give it a look. Best of luck! :)

Awesome David!!! Congrats!

Thanks for the good wishes! I will need them because the publisher is a small up-and-coming press with limited marketing/publicity powers. But Black Rose Writing is great at making the book available on all online book sources, and in Kindle and Nook editions!

There is nothing wrong with an Up and coming small publisher. I have one of those as well putting out my debut novel!!! You will do great!

Absolutely right, Cambria! Don't worry, David, your book will do amazing. :)

Well, I have 2...Fire in the Blood, a YA fantasy, and Racing the Nighmates, a mid-grade contemporary (only ebook now, but paperback coming very soon).

I have a YA paranormal coming out soon, Kiss Me Dead.

I can't wait for Cam's book!

Both books look interesting, Dale! It's good to see another member author on here. Best of luck with your sales!

Hey writing is such an important part of this! Without writers there's be no readers! So don't worry about it! These people deserve bajillions of threads!

Ha ha. Thank you. It's nice to see someone who appreciates authors. :)

Broken City is an Adventure Romance set in the near future. Thanks.

has one of my short stories in it. I have two more i am hoping to have published end of this year also.

I Love the look of these other books...think it is time to get spending so i can check them out :D

PS please note the goodreads has tagged the wrong person as author Rebecca nolan for the 13 tales of the paranormal, it should be fixed soon though :D

Ooh...love the cover. Spooky. :)

Hello, everyone! I have just released the new edition of my first novel, a YA Christmas story called Clara Claus, for only $0.99.

Here is the short synop:

Jack Frost has been trying to destroy Christmas for years, and in order to save his job must complete a task he deems impossible -- until he meets Santa's granddaughter Clara, who begins to change his view of what Christmas is all about.

It's a bit of a Fantasy book, though it's also obviously a Christmas book, and it also has a nice dash of romance in it. But, I promise, none of the "normal" holiday fiction here!

Please check it out! More info at my website, where you can also read the first few chapters if you'd like:

Hi. I have a fantasy book out, The Black Orb from Uncial Press. It's my debut novel, and I am quite excited. I uploaded it to goodreads so you guys can check it here.

And thank you, Cambria and Rabecca. I really love this story (not that I don't love the other one). I hope you get to read it, and enjoy the book!

Thank you Alexandra!!
