Hi everyone.

I want to thank everyone for their encouragement and support and I would like to make you an offer. If you want to read the novel and you just don't have any money or any way to get money, then I'll trade you for it.

This offer is in regards to the E-Book version of Deceit and Conquest Volume 1: Seor. The E-Book version is not printed, but instead comes as a download. It is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. It can even be printed on your home PC if you would like. I place no restrictions on that. I realize that most people probably know all about this, but I wanted to clarify what I am giving away for free.

If you would like to have the book in this format for free then all I ask is that you read the entire book and in return email me back a brief review.
I won't ask a lot but I'd like the review to be at least 1/2 of a page of standard type. I won't get more specific than that because I really don't want to make this difficult. Just interpret that rule however you think is fair.

Take as much time as you need to read the book and write your review.
I would appreciate it if the reviews could be returned to me before the
end of the summer but I do not require it.

Also, I expect you to be honest. Don't spare my feelings.
I have a mom for that.

heh


Ok, sound interesting?

Just email me at www.tarnishedheart.com
The details and rules of this offer do not include the printed version of this novel or refer to any other items or offers.

Thanks everyone!

As someone who has already purchased the e-book, I can guarantee anyone who participates in this won't be disapointed.

Cyrus, if you need anyone to, say... review and spell/grammar check volume 2 before you print it, let me know!  (Heh...)  Keep up the good work.

[Firestorm2005]

I've been wanting to read it... I'll try it.

[Cyrus]

Thanks so much.

I'll keep that  in mind Xorlak.

I won't have a enough money to buy the book for...... a year. So this should suffice till then.

[Firestorm2005]

I'm downloading it right now Very Happy ...  I have dial up, so it'll take about 10 minutes.

[Firestorm2005]

I'll help to review the next book as well.  You need a good conflict of interests...  I'm already through the second chapter (I've been reading it almost nonstop for the last 1 1/2 hours)...

I've been doing little chapter summaries after every chapter so I can go back and read those before the final review....

If you would like to have the book in this format for free then all I ask is that you read the entire book and in return email me back a brief review.

Err i dont get this.

Explain plz.

[Firestorm2005]

Send him an e-mail saying that you want to participate in the program, and that you won't sell the e-book or anything illegal like that.  Then you'll get a link to a download of the book.  Do so, then read the book.

When you are done reading the book, write a half-page (or more) review.  Then
e-mail the review back.

Aight Cyrus, I sent u da email, and I'm waiting patiently for the link.

And I would DEFINITELY like to review part 2 when it's done Smile



Also...any idea when (or if) this book will be WIDELY distributed...? I still can't find it at the local bookstores Sad

[Cyrus]

The book is currently listed in a few databases for different bookstores.
Two of those that you would probably know of are Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com

This is kind of complicated because each of these places has a different policy and structure set up for book distribution and for stocking books.
I have not yet had the time to really pursure all of this because it is a very tedious process, but I have the potential to have my book in all of the Barnes and Noble stores as well as several other bookstores.

Just as an example, Barnes and Noble has a few stipulations that I have to meet before they will feature my book. I have to submit a biography about myself as well as a few other documents. Once that happens, I will have to wait for them to approve my submissions and then they will list my info as featured details. This will allow me to contact the individual book stores and ask them to stock my book... which is entirely at their discretion... but since the book is aimed at a pretty popular audience, I have been told that this is highly probable.
I'll have to do some traveling too since a lot of the book stores require me to do appearances and then they will stock the book.
It gets even more complex but I won't go into it too much.

As soon as I finish the Special Edition of my film, I will devote a significant amount of time to doing all of this. I just havent had the time or resources to do much about it yet.

I really appreciate the interest in this series.
...and I hope you will like the book.

I also hope that I've at least partially answered your questions.


Thanks man

I suppose if you're successful you'll eventually get someone to do all that for you.

[Cyrus]

Indeed.

I love writing... but this other stuff is a real pain.

heh

Hmmm, having it in bookstores? I'll go look sometime...

[Firestorm2005]

Oh no...  I completely forgot about this.  My copy of the Seor e-book is somewhere in a folder (I lost it!!) and I haven't even gotten past the third chapter...  I completely forgot about the review.  

I'm probably not going to get the review done before the end of the summer, though I'll try  Sad .
