Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.

We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

    This is me at the castle where most of the action in the book happens (I finally got to visit it after a decade of wanting to):

      Was it as you envisioned it?

        Pretty much, I researched it and its surroundings pretty thoroughly when writing the story, though I deliberately changed its internals in the book, since it's an alternative history. I think I estimated the number of floors in the connected gallery wrong, but we didn't get to go inside, so I'm not sure. From what I was able to see it's a stunning place, inside and out (there's only a limited tour of the inside you can do in the winter, because some of the rooms are difficult for them to heat).

          The special offer ends in less than a day, so now is a good time to grab it if you haven't yet. The poetry collection is still on offer for a few more days.

            The second edition of the book went live at the weekend (fixing formatting, labelling, grammatical and spelling errors I couldn't fix under the old publisher's arrangement):

            The new paperback version can be bought here:

            http://www.amazon.com/dp/1530883032/?tag=theologyweb-20

            The link for the kindle version remains the same (see my sig).

              My wife just finished reading both your novels Ben. Her response: "tell him he must hurry up and write more"

                I'm working on it, slower than I would like. Any help the two of you can give in getting the word out would be appreciated, at the moment I can't afford to publish any more books (certainly not if I want to hire a professional editor), none of them have recovered their initial costs, except Nobility Among Us might possibly have barely broken even after 3 years.

                There's a chance that I could meet Larry Correia later this month (he's doing a book signing in Prague). It's a long shot, but if I could somehow get him to look at Beyond the Mist and recommend it to his readership, then that could make a big difference. We'll see.

                  What about publishing the existing ones through Castalia House? (seem as you know a number of their existing authors)

                  We'll both do some more punting for you (but we're both rather obscure people in the back end of nowhere, but every little bit helps)

                    I've already tried that, they are a small press with a very packed publishing schedule, maybe I can try again (or somewhere else) once I have a couple more books out.
