Meet the very talented B.A.Morton (Babs to her friends!)

I first met Babs (virtually speaking) when we were both on Authonomy. I loved her writing then and I'm pleased to say many more people can share it now as all her books are available on Amazon. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to interview her here today. Click the link and meet a great writer.

A Menu of Death by Lucy Pireel - BOOKBLAST




A Menu of Death

 

A collection of stories centered around vengeance, obsession, cravings, and life.

 
Pick one item of the Menu or devour the entire buffet

Make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew

Read, but not with greed for

Death awaits, ready to come and collect its due





These eight short stories revolve around obsession, revenge, craving, love, and Death.

Whether it be a woman in need of rescue, a man who hungers for his wife, a demon lost, or wishes come true, all characters want something. Badly.

But ... You can't always get what you want, but you might just get what you need.

About the Author
Lucy Pireel is a writer who doesn't let herself be restricted to any one genre. She loves to write in whatever direction her current story leads her.
When she's not writing, or reading, she is practicing or teaching yoga, her other passion. Or she could be on a long hike somewhere in the beautiful British nature.

Where are the British Entrepreneurs?

Blue Hour Publishing has been going for about eighteen months now (where has the time gone). We  have tried Amazon Select and decided it isn’t for us. We were thinking of moving to Smashwords but opted for draft2digital instead.  As the one who puts all the books on line and keeps track of who has sold what, I like the way the d2d site works. Clean, simple to follow and not overloaded with information about other books. They may be dealing with thousands of authors but you feel like the only one! I don’t want to know about what else is available. I can find that out in other places if I want to. Well done, d2d. Please don’t change your website too much!
     But what really gets me is, why are all these companies based in the US. I have nothing against the way they work, apart from having to spend time and money contacting the IRS, but why hasn’t anyone in Britain come up with a company to help indie authors get their books into the ethersphere? Surely it can’t be that difficult.
     I didn’t see the programme myself, but was told that an indie author had approached Dragon’s Den for support while he wrote some books. He got turned down. Wouldn’t we all like to be supported while we got noticed?! But I wonder if someone had gone with the intension of setting up a company to convert and publish ebooks they might have been supported.
     And NO! I don’t want to do this myself. I haven’t the energy, knowledge or connections, but surely there must be someone out there who could do this. I’m not talking about a company that wants to put books put on its own platform but someone who will do the same as Smashwords and d2d. Or maybe all our technical people have crossed the pond or gone to Australia!

New Venture - New Author

A while back we announced we were adding Books For Children to the Blue Hour Publishing family.
Well the wait is over and very soon our very first Book for Children will be released.
    Meet our new author Bertram George on his own page here 
    He has written a whole series of books based around fairy story characters we all know and love, adding a new slant on them. Added to the stories are some wonderful illustrations done by the author himself. Just hope the ebooks can do them justice.  Look out for some of them here.
   In the meantime, his first book will be coming very soon. Watch out for this!
