Today I thought it would be interesting (for me anyway) to find out who here has published what. So I'd like it very much if, in the comments, those of you who have books in the shops (you know who you are) or have a first book coming out soon (Alexandra MacKenzie) (or you, India Drummond), or have just made a deal for your second novel (I'm talking to you, Samuel Park), would call attention to your fabulous selves and link to your books, if links are available, or just announce your deals if there's nothing specific to link. If you have a book or two available on, say, Amazon's Kindle site, link to that if you want (I'm looking at you, FP).
That's right: it's Pimp Yourself Friday. Don't be shy. No, don't.
What about short stories in upcoming magazines?
ReplyDeleteRicardo: Yes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Scott! My novella's not out yet, so I have nothing to link, but I think we should have a tab here at the Lit Lab for Indie authors and traditionally published authors where we list links to their works. And we can highlight them in a post once in awhile, too. I'm all about promoting our readers' works!
ReplyDeleteWe could always change the Anthology tab to a Books tab and include those of our regulars!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Davin. :)
ReplyDeleteI have two picture books --
ReplyDeleteA New Job for Dilly
Lemur Troops & Critter Groups
My third is due out in a week --
The Marshmallow Man
All are published by 4RV Publishing and available through their website @ www.4rvpublishingllc.com, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or through any bookseller.
Thanks, Michelle! :)
Rena, thanks! And thank Scott - this was his idea. I think we'll get a tab up to put permanent links with our reader's works.
ReplyDeleteFP, I don't know where everyone is. I can list 10 people I know who have books coming out soon or already have a book out. I think it's a Friday and that's not helping. I'll try and push this next week, too.
ReplyDeleteScott, I tried to find the people you listed in your post, and I had no luck at all. This is why we need a page with links, I think. I can't buy books I don't know about. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly for asking! My first novel is due out Sep 15 from Edge SF and the amazon link is:
ReplyDeleteImmortal Quest by Alexandra MacKenzie.
Also at Barnes & Noble.
Cheers,
Alex
Alex, I also saw it on the Tower Books site!
ReplyDeleteFP, thanks for linking to your ebooks!
Rena, happy pub day in a week!
Michelle, I know they're out there. I also like Davin's idea about a permanent page to pimp our beloved followers' books.
"Jock Stewart and the Missing Sea of Fire" came out last summer. The second edition of "The Sun Singer" came out earlier this year. "Garden of Heaven" will be out in several weeks.

Thank you for letting me pimp it!!
I have a short story called "A Reptile at the Reunion" in the anthology Firestorm of Dragons. You can buy it through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Firestorm-Dragons-Michele-Acker/dp/1896944809/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275709265&sr=8-1.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the invite to post! I'm new to pimping, since I've just gotten my first contract!
ReplyDeleteMy book is a paranormal romance called Ordinary Angels and it will be out next year from Lyrical Press.
You can find me at my blog: http://www.indiadrummond.com/
Thanks again! I look forward to getting to know more folks here at The Literary Lab!
I've published three novels, but none are in shops, so I hesitated to post. One was a serial published in the California entertainment weekly New Times, and two were published by now-defunct UK publisher Babash-Ryan.
ReplyDeleteOther former Babash writers have re-issued their books or epublished them for Kindle, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.
I suppose somebody might find a copy in a charity shop: Food of Love (2003) and The Best Revenge (2005.) Comic Romantic suspense. I've got work in a bunch of literary magazines and anthologies, but none current (except Genre Wars.) Trying to re-start a career in a recession is a challenge.
Dimensions of Genesis - A Celestine Prophecy for the next generation.

Thanks! :D
Forgot to come back and check your answer on Friday. My short story, The Rat Burner is coming out in the next issue of Shock Totem Magazine. (www.shocktotem.com)
ReplyDeleteAck! Sorry for the double post! Not sure how that happened.
