For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers

For those of you not familiar with the website "Authonomy," it's a novelist's delight. Imagine wordsmiths from all over the world reading your novel and offering useful and valuable critiques in order to polish your book to it's best. That is what authonomy does. It's also a U.K. sister site of Harper Collins Publishers with the highest ranked books via the critquers submitted to the editor for possible publication!

I've been blessed to receive some incredible comments and thought I would whet your appetite for "The Long Road to Extradition" :
"Once Nick went into solitary, your text became claustrophobic, paranoid, and you weren't afraid of brevity, which I think helped keep your pacing up. I usually like to give feedback, but I think you accomplished exactly what you set out to do."

"Is all of this fiction? You manage to portray your characters in such a real way, I have to wonder. Very talented writer with the ability to sustain interest in the reader. Happy to have backed it and best with it. "


"Your protagonist Nick tells us of the hell he found himself in and his journey from the lowest point in his life. The events of his thirteenth birthday are unfolded slowly, experienced and understood by the reader as if we were psychiatrists teasing out the back story of a young man suffering from extreme post traumatic stress disorder. Your pitch readies us for this disturbing, dark read full of misery and abuse. The way Nick is dealt with by the authorities/system is reminiscient of Ken Keseys brilliant 'One flew over the cuckoos nest' where the main protagonist is more sane than the world and the system around him."

"Wow. I'm four chapters in and I really feel for Nick. You've paid a lot of attention to the dialogue so far and it shows - there's a lot of it here but it's really well done and flows perfectly with Nick's thoughts and the actions of those around him. This is a great book so far. "


The novel should be published soon. When it is, YOU will be the first to know! Feel free to drop me a line at JRStone@aol.com . DON'T FORGET TO "LIKE" ME on my FACEBOOK PAGE!
