Thanks for the feedback! (Also, help Micheal Calvillo)
The book one of you mentioned in your comment (from my website) was Red Sky. The City hasn't been released yet, but it'll be out in a few months (April, I think, but that's flexible) and I'll be sure to get a link up. Red Sky was the predecessor to The City; I wrote Red Sky when I was twelve and it's available online worldwide as an ebook at http://double-dragon-ebooks.com/single.php?ISBN=1-55404-427-8 It's also available as a 564 page paperback, but the paperback is about $25 through Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/content/697062) and the download is only $5.99 through the first link I posted. I'll make sure to get a link up as soon as The City is available; for the first few weeks a book is out, the ebook is available for 10%-15% off. If you buy it, be sure to rate and review it and let me know what you thought.
I'm thinking about having a drawing of sorts for a free paperback copy of The City when it comes out--maybe ask a question about Red Sky and put the names of everyone who answers correctly into a hat. What do you guys think?
And again, for any of you writers, feel free to drop me a message--I'm still looking for fresh authors to interview and new books to review.
Micheal Louis Calvillo (Author of I WILL RISE) recently contacted me with a request. His novel, THE BASILISK, was selected as a semi-finalist for Amazon.com's Breakthrough Novel Award. Winning is determined by two factors--a professional review and reader reviews. His request was that I read his excerpt and write a quick review on it. I did so and thought I'd pass the opportunity on to you guys--here's an opportunity to sample a novel and help out another writer. As an extra incentive, Amazon is choosing some of the best reviews and rewarding the reviewers with $2000 in Amazon cash!
To help Micheal out, go here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Basilisk-Official-ABNA-Entrant/dp/B0011G9Y0O There's a download for free button on the right of the page. Click it, read the excerpt, return to the main page, and click create your own review. I guarantee he'll appreciate it.

Of course! I'm sure it'll be great :D!
RB,
Thank you for the drop by and comment. I am currently shopping for an agent for a book I completed a few weeks ago. The name of the book is "Resonance." The other I am working on is more or less a vampire tale but with a small twist..anyway, thanks for the comment and good luck in all of your endeavors! I shall visit the sites you mentioned and add my support where needed! I look forward to reading your books!
Blessed Be,
Christopher aka Caligula6
Saw you stopped by. I have been reading your friend Caligua6's excerpts from the novel he has been posting. His writing is impressive both in its significant depth and also its considerable breadth. You must be excited to have writers such as him that are a part of your group of friends.

I love stories of all sorts, and though the "black magic" part irks me a little (I justhave a thing about that term) overall, your story looks interesting.
One never knows when I may have money or where I might find your book though.
But it sounds interesting, so whenever I may read it, I'll be sure to let you know what I thought about it.
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for stopping by! =)
It sounds interesting, it's just that I live in Sweden so it might be a little difficult to get and/or buy the book.

No problem! :) Good luck on your second book being a hit! :D
