ALL literature books are worth a look – Kickshaw Candies

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

I received a comment from a self published author on my ‘no strings attached‘ post.  I’ll past it here to save your click. “I’m beginning to wonder why I should have bothered. I still love the book. Just can’t convince others it’s worth reading!”

What is wrong with this world?

A person spends creativity and energy to give birth to a literature book, and then they can’t even get even a few others to read it.  This is EXACTLY why I started ClickMyLit.Net and my no strings attached promotion services for self published literature books. This is where Big Publishers have dropped the ball. Kickshaw Candies might be a diamond in the rough – but who would ever know?

Can we get a click my lit follower or two to give Kickshaw Candies a read?  (I’m doing my part too.  This book isn’t on Amazon yet so I don’t even get my few pennies commission.)

Vigilante – A killer novel of a popular assassin

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Vigilante by Claude Bouchard

The assassin calmly crouched down over the body and carefully wiped the blade on the dead man’s jacket. He then pressed a button on the knife’s handle, causing the blade to disappear and slipped the weapon into a pocket. Returning to a standing position, the vigilante turned his attention to Eileen.

“Miss, I believe that you should be on your way. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience these gentlemen may have caused you and I promise they won’t ever do it again.”

Vigilante by Claude Bouchard

Summer of 96 in Montreal and a popular killer known as the Vigilante is on a spree, his victims, those who engage in criminal activities. Following 16 murders in 6 months, Lieutenant Dave McCall, head of Montreal’s Special Homicide Task Force is without clue or lead until an electronic message is received from the assassin himself. Failure in tracing the origin of the email leads McCall to request the assistance of CSS Inc., a security firm specializing in computer and communication networks and headed by EVP and COO, Chris Barry. As murders and emails continue, the two men join forces to bring the popular killer to justice. But whose justice will prevail? Theirs, or the popular Vigilante’s?

Self-published autobiography of mid life crisis

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

A mid-life crisis is a period of life change and a time for self-examination. Sometimes a person asks the wrong questions or sees the wrong people for advice. Journey with this self-published author in his autobiography of the long trip between mayor and fool.

From Mayor To Fool: The Psyography Of A Middle Class Man

From Mayor To Fool is an autobiography of transcribed conversations that took place in Spring 2008, between the Author (Tim Mayeur), his parents, his close friends, two Tarot Card Readers, a Psychic Medium and a Hypnotherapist. this self-published autobiography is a journey where you get to follow the Author in mid-life crisis as he transforms and comes to terms with his mid-life, the loss of his sister, struggles with what it means to be a Middle Class Man and evaluates his mid-life crisis in order to improve it.

There were no rehearsals and the Psychics were not given any information about Tim’s life prior to the meetings. Tim met them for the first time for these sessions. This is what happens when a nihilistic and skeptical man has a spiritual awakening. As a true story about the factors in one’s mid-life crisis, it can be overwhelming, looking at all the possibilities and probabilities but in the end, people need to trust their own intuitions and judgment of where they want to go in life. Change involves stress and risk. Are you ready for a mid-life Change?

Southeast Asia Literature Book with Expat Twists

Monday, August 31st, 2009

A diamond is a lump of coal that did real well under pressure. I love that line and I’m thrilled to find such a good place here to use it. The Ghost of Neil Diamond is a novel literature book by David Milnes. I’m not certain if the author was under pressure while being an expat in the Southeast Asia city of Hong Kong but Neil Diamond is certainly a diamond. (Would that make Neil Diamond’s ghost the ghost of a diamond? – I couldn’t stop my typing fingers.)

The Ghost of Neil Diamond by David Milnes

Let’s take a peek at what some reviewers have to say about this Southeast Asia literature book.

“An extraordinarily precise slice of life of parts of Hong Kong very few know about. Even the dodgy expats who live there. It tracks an English Neil Diamond impersonator, his jumped-up Chinese agent, his ordeals in the slummiest bars of Wanchai and Kowloon and a duelling Neil Diamond impersonator… The best literature from Hong Kong I have read since…”

“…traces Neil’s journey through the side-streets and lonely bars of Hong Kong with an appreciation for the city’s strange comedy, like a Wong Kar-wai film. This is not the glamorous Hong Kong – even the skyline and harbour become, in a wonderful inversion of an iconic scene, just some “cosmetic bottles round a filthy sink” – but it is a haunting one. And as we follow Neil’s mortifying attempts to make it as a Neil Diamond impersonator on the expat club scene, we meet a marvelous cast of supporting characters: the enigmatic travel agent-turned-impresario Elbert Chan, a black tennis coach and potential rival singer, and, most troubling of all, a seasoned Diamond impersonator from Los Angeles with no interest in sharing this potentially lucrative niche market…”

“Highly recommended, whether or not you are a Neil Diamond fan. David Milnes has created characters that will stay with you (and you’ll want them to!) long after the last strains of melody have faded out. Well-paced, very funny, with some superb descriptions of the seedy side of Hong Kong. You’ll find yourself rooting for Neil in some surprising circumstances. And the writing is some of the best I’ve read this year…”

Here at ClickMyLit, I’m doing my part to bring self-published and under-promoted literature books to your attention. So how about clicking some of my links?  Then I can quit my day job and run away to Southeast Asia and be an expat book promoter.

literature book promotion for self published authors

Monday, August 31st, 2009

“Only sell what you are sold on.”

160x600-1Those are good words to live by. I’m sold on self published authors and I’m sold on literature book promotion. I’m also sold on one twitter self promotion tool and I want to share it with you.

Tweet Adder Twitter Self Promotion Software

I use TweetAdder promotion software myself to manage my Twitter following. TweetAdder is why ClickMyLit has a following of nearly 4000 after such a short time. I intend to keep using TweetAdder to take me up into the 10′s of thousands to enable me to give you self published authors even better free literature book promotion services.

Self publishing implies that the self published author will also be responsible for self promotion of their own self published literature book. But self promotion doesn’t need to mean spending hours and hours on twitter to seek out followers. TweetAdder can take on that task for you.

Erin gives Tweet Adder two thumbs up.

I’ll finish this post by re-stating the opening line – “Only sell what you are sold on.” I am certainly sold on on TweetAdder and I’m proud to sell it to self published authors to assist in the arduous but rewarding task of self promoting a self published literature book. (With 0clickmylit‘s no strings attached assistance)
