Lee Child BESTSELLER 1st Dialogue + amazon.co.uk

 So, book 3 is now available on Amazon.co.uk...
 The Rage of Atlantis on Amazon.co.uk - £7.99
 The Rage of Atlantis on Kindle at Amazon.co.uk - £4.99

This Lee Child 'BESTSELLER' thing....let's have a look at that crap opening dialogue in 'Worth Dying for'...
We might need you - me?
Well, you and your rifle. Like before. - Might?
At this stage it's only a precaution. - What's going on?
There's a guy sniffing around. - Close?
Hard to say. - How much does he know?
Some of it. Not all of it yet. - Who is he?
....blah blah blah....
Now if this is what people want in a dialogue, I'm sunk. For me, this isn't real or interesting. For a start it 'leads' the reader, "look, see, there's something secret, it has guns in it, it's dangerous, and they'd kill for something to stay secret!" Wow, great, boring, it must've taken Lee Child 2 seconds to write. Now let's see how it would be if I'd written it. Just 'off the cuff'.
Hey - Hey
Might need ya. - Yeah?
Like before, you know? - Yeah?
Just insurance. - What's going on?
Guy's sniffing around. - How much does he know?
Enough. - Who is he?
...blah blah blah...
I guess I'm just not 'BESTSELLER' material, I just can't write crap like Lee Child....:-)
I'll be having another go at Lee Child later...let's go through his whole collection of books and rip them to shit :-)

Discount code for'The Rage of Atlantis' (limited time)

Picked up a 'bestseller' tonight, a thriller, Lee Child, 'Worth Dying For'. There was a quote on the back saying if you put down the book after reading the first few pages, then you don't like thrillers. Well, I took up the challenge...I put it down after 1 1/2 pages. Dull descriptive paragraphs to start, and unrealistic dialogue to follow. Who wrote this? A 13 year old pen-up-his-arse ex-soldier?
Read MY thriller...'The Rage of Atlantis'....
If you go to my Createspace eStore (and NOT Amazon), you can buy 'The Rage of Atlantis' at a discount! (for a limited time only)
Discount code - JBGPSAJB   -   $2.00 off!
Remember, it has to be at my eStore

Trilogy book idea

Well, book 3 is now going through the final process.
It'll be available here, on my own store
https://www.createspace.com/3845760
Or on Amazon.com / co.uk / Europe.
There is also a chance that a friend of mine will translate my books into German, interesting market. Still waiting on the Hungarian versions...
I'm also thinking of making a 'trilogy' edition, with all 3 books together, in smaller print, of course, at the cheapest price possible.

New Pitch for book 3....

Bombs, angels, dolphins, hobgoblins, crazy monkeys, God in a rage, Satan on the toilet...all mixed with absurdly serious issues.
 
Will a selfish plan for immortality destroy the human race? Or will there be light ‘beyond’ the end of the tunnel?

High Chief of Security Sipho, with his female dolphin sidekick Kang Dee, investigates the latest in a long line of terrorist attacks by the ‘unseen’ against Atlantis, the utopian gem of the physical universe, and finds more than he could have ever imagined.

1st re-write coming to an end...

Well, at 101 parts and over 60,000 words, I'm coming to an end of my re-write. Book 3 is everything I wanted it to be, I think it completes the trilogy fantastically. On part 83 at the moment, so just a few more days and I'll process it through Createspace.
If anyone would like a signed copy, and you're not on my usual list, please contact me and I'll put it into my 1st order :-)
Thank you to all who've read this blog so far and supported my work so well :-)
But...it's not finished yet!! A little more time...
