By Rebecca
Format:Paperback
The Bethlehem Fiasco is an outstandingly entertaining version of the
world's most famous story. Dani J Caile's intriguingly imaginative
writing creates characters and scenes that are worthy of great chortling
from the off. The book is fun to read with good pace and structure and,
dare I say, is uncomfortably believable!
Definitely one to buy if you appreciate Monty Python type comedy; definitely not one to buy if you're a staunch believer of the Christian faith!

Iron Writers + Manna-X Update
So far so good, 38 votes against the closest 16...but it ain't over until the fat lady sings, and my is she fat (and a little miserable on the side)!
http://theironwriter.com/the-stories/challenge-11/
If I win, there's a chance I'll be in a compilation of winners at the end of it all...that's why I'm 'having a go'.
Where was I? Oh yes, added a few things to 'Manna-X' the other day...day, yes, that's it. I realised that there was also one comment in particular in 'TDX2' that I would like to say again, so I did! I re-worded it a little, but who's to say ya can't recycle the same thing, especially if it's a corker!
So, just waiting for my reader to come back to me, maybe the end of this week, and then I'll publish (once it has been ironed out, of course!)

Not asking for flattery!
Am I upset? No.
Am I asking my readers to 'flatter' me with good reviews on Amazon? NO.
All my readers have said only GOOD things about my books, either on other websites or by personal communication. All I'm asking is that a few of you go just one more step...I know some of you already have, and I thank you for that!
I am not a published writer, I don't have a group of editors, agents and a large team of marketing personel pushing me on the internet and in shops (even if I were in the shops). They do exactly what I'm asking from readers, to help the 'push'. When a new book comes out, they already have dozens of readers ready to review the book and give it some exposure, before it's even in the shops. They have interviews set up, reviews ready for literary magazines...it's big business.
Anyway. If you can, please review on Amazon :-) If you can't, just read and enjoy :-) That's what it's all about, anyway!

Requesting Reviews on Amazon!
I've got 100s and 100s of comments from readers of all my books (including the one still in editing) -I estimate the figure of 'good things' said to be close to a 1000 people, with 2 Indians who hated my books due to their religious beliefs (AND I have a review on Goodreads from 1 - why me?)...but very few reviews on Amazon! Amazon.co.uk has almost 1 per book, Amazon.com has 1, 'Rage' has 2 reviews!
I know roughly how many readers there are out there...I really really need some reviews. If only 10% of you put a review on, things might start to happen! Your reviews make my books sell. Now matter how many times I tweet, say good things, gain exposure doing competitions and interviews, it's YOU, the READER who are the only person who can help me get into the 'light where I belong'. No one believes 'self'-flattery.
Lately, readers have asked me why I'm not famous yet. Well, you could help by putting 20+ words on Amazon. You have said SO many good things AWAY from Amazon, perhaps if you said it there, something might work. With one little step like that, you could be part of something BIG! It's the individual who changes the world, not the group, the group only follows...baa
Let's try a little 'Google Translate' :-) Always good for a laugh! (I wonder what it's like in Russian, Spanish and French?)
Я знаю примерно, сколько читателей есть там ... Я действительно очень нужны отзывы. Если только 10% вы положили мнение о, все могло начинают происходить! Ваши отзывы делают мои книги продают.

Никто не верит 'self'-лести.
В последнее время читатели спрашивают меня, почему я не известная еще. Ну, вы могли бы помочь, поставив 20 + слова на Amazon с 5-звездочным. Вы сказали очень много хороших вещей ДАЛЕКО от Amazon, возможно, если бы вы сказали, что там, что-то может работать. С одного маленького шага, возможно, вам может быть частью чего-то большого!

Iron Writer's Challenge 11 is on!
Okay, it's on, the Iron Writer Challenge 11! was scheduled earlier, number 4 I think, but I was on holiday that week. I still wrote a story because the organiser sent me an e-mail, then realised he'd changed my date, a story about a Vampire Hunter and Vampires on the beach (see this post).
But now the REAL thing! 4 writers, 4 elements, 500 words, 4 days (writers are given only 4 days to write the story)
The 4 elements were...
...yes, every week they're like this, I think the organiser has a shoe fetish...it's all very brown, as you can see, I guess that's why I gave it that title...anyway, I wrote a 500 word story, and now it's up on the website to read (along with 3 other stories from 3 other writers using the same 4 elements). Please read and vote :-)
This might even be my new genre, Dectective Brad Shaw...

Some Agent should pick me up...
These comments just keep coming, though no one is listening...
Got this comment from Brian G Chambers on authonomy.com, his book 'Mary's Magic Muffins & Other Tales for Children' is running up to the Editor's Desk at the moment (rank: 20). I backed his book to help him there, so he read a bit of 'Man by a tree', and this is what he said...
Hi Dani
What can I say. I love it, I love it. The humour and wit hits you right from the off. A great, and original piece of writing here. I read to the end of chapter 10, and couldn't help smiling all the way. There is nothing I can fault with this. It is writing at its best. If I were you I wouldn't waste my time on here trying to make it to the desk. I would find myself an agent right away. You are clearly a very clever writer, so you should have these stories (I take it for granted that the others you have written are as good as this) out there so that the world can read them. You will have a huge following. Full stars from me.
Brian.
This kinda thing makes me believe in humanity again...:-) ...but my sales are still the same as before...:-(
...but hey! One new fan a day...keeps the bridge at bay...?? Can't wait to launch 'Manna-X'
