The Genre Underground discussion

So, I'm looking to give away some review copies of Elegy and Sorcerer’s Code to some folks who would be interested in writing up an honest review for Amazon and/or Goodreads.

ELEGY is a dark swords & sorcery novel, and SORCERER'S CODE is a novelette (about 12,000 words) and has a lighter tone, more like urban fantasy (even though it's not modern).

If anyone's interested in giving some honest and constructive feedback in exchange for a free book, let me know and I'll hook you up!

Hi Christopher,

They both sound completely up my street! I'd be more than happy to review either one or both for you.

Wonderful! Do you have a preferred format (Kindle/ePub/PDF/etc?) and shall I send them to the e-mail address on your website?

Kindle would be my preferred choice, please! And yes, the email on my website is fine.

Thanks!

I've just written a review of Sorceror's Code - I really enjoyed it!

I very much appreciate the review, and I'm very glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks again for volunteering! =)

I'd also love it if anyone fancied writing a review of The Long Sleep.

Hi Jaq,

I'd be up for doing a mutual review type thing! Also, if you are after beta readers for the one you're editing, I'd be up for that as well - and I've also got one at the editing stage at the moment, so if you're up for doing that as well...

Stephen.

I'd also be happy to join in on a mutual review thing - always up for something new to read. I can be contacted directly at eisengoth (at) gmail (dot) com. Jaq, do you have a preference on which of mine you'd like to start with?

Stephen, I'd also be happy to read/review The Long Sleep for you!

Hi all,

I'd like to offer copies of my novel to anyone who would kindly review it for me.

I know many in this group are reluctant to read high/epic fnatasy with what they perceive as overused races.

I do use orcs, elves and all the other staples of fantasy wrapped up in a story that has no less than three antagonists and three storylines that run concurrently, yet doesn't become complicated.

Hi Jaq,

PM me your email address and preference on format...mobi etc.

Thanks.

Harrison.

I would gratefully do a mutual review. My book, Pieces of You, is lonely on amazon with no reviews yet. It is a time travel adventure of turning points, futuristic technology and sacrificial love in scenes from Vietnam, banking crises, piracy; to space elevators and activity in Paradise.

If that sounds like something you'd like, please let me know where to send a pdf or mobi version.

I will do an honest swap review. I would disclose this in the review. If you're agreeable, let me know. My view is the number of reviews is more important than the stars, so I dont go batshit if a review is critical.

I believe in giving (and receiving) challenging, realistic reviews--at least that's what I tell my students to provide for each other :-)

So tell me where to find your book and where to send mine.

Christopher, I'd also be willing to do a swap review for Elegy. Honest goes without saying! If you're interested, tell me which of my books you'd like to review. I have no dark fantasy on sale at the moment. I do have epic fantasy. My loneliest books are my non-genre suspense novel and my two collections, hint hint. But basically your choice!

Oh ... this offer also applies to Stephen, Jaq, and others who've posted. I've read your samples and they're A-OK.

Dropped you an email. Looking forward to it!

Jaq,

Let me know when you're caught up and let's do it!
