I'd like to say a BIG thank you to writer Hunter S Jones, someone who has shared my stuff on facebook and Goodreads, retweeted my tweets and basically popped up on my facebook wall many times. I've enjoyed our little conversations so far, and she's just one GREAT person! I can't say enough good things! :-)
Her website (http://about.me/huntersjones1) is amazing! She really knows how to market!
As far as I know, she has 6 books out, and her latest book, 'September Ends' has 32 reviews, most 5 stars and sells well (in the top 250,000)...I think I'm up to review it, actually...(cough)
"September Ends"
http://www.amazon.com/September-Ends-ebook/dp/B00FJD05YO
Here's the Blurb :-)
Sometimes when you believe it’s the end, it’s only the beginning.
A secret betrayal with no time for revenge. The mystery unravels to reveal the magic of love.
September Ends is contemporary fiction with romance, erotic and
supernatural elements, bound together by poetry. It reveals the
intricate web of passion and desire which entangles Liz Snow, Pete
Hendrix and Jack O. Savage. The story is told through Liz Snow’s diary,
Jack O. Savage’s poetry, and from letters sent across the Atlantic.
Traveling throughout the lushness of a summertime in Tennessee and
Georgia, September Ends journeys into the elegance of London’s West End
and is finally settled in the countryside of Cornwall, England, a decade
later.
September Ends is a story of sin, redemption, and salvation through love, because love happens when we least expect it.
Again, thank you, Hunter!

Thanks to (4): James Paddock
James Paddock (@jameswriter) somehow got hold of one tweet I sent out about 'Rage' and occasionally tweets that one tweet...and I appreciate it :-)
(Yes, there are more of you out there, I'll get to ya!)
James (https://twitter.com/jameswriter) writes..."When James was younger he daydreamed. Now he's a writer, turning daydreams into novels."
He has written a TON of books, including the Sabre Toothed Cat Trilogy, and has a website here...http://desertbookshelf.com/...it's profi!
Here's the blurb of his latest...Deserving of Death (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EXBQO02)
One might say that CJ Washburn is obsessed with Stella Summers. After all, common sense all but takes flight when she goes missing for a time. How could he not think to check his email or voice mail or not find the note she had left in his apartment? He runs to the scene of a body dump in fear that it is her, possibly the third victim in what appears to be turning into a serial killing rampage.
“And this guy calls himself a private investigator?”
A private investigator he is, and a good one at that. However, women’s bodies keep turning up and by the fourth victim he becomes a person of interest; by the fifth, the prime suspect and the subject of a manhunt from the Idaho panhandle to Southern Arizona. Bodies continue to drop around him until his deepest fear is pushed upon him and his investigative skills are challenged at the highest level. In a message from the killer he learns that the next victim will be one of the women in his life; his daughter, his girlfriend, his attorney or even his ex-wife. Who is the next target of this deranged killer?
Again, thanks, James! :-)

Thanks to (3): Jasper T. Scott
Jasper has been a rock. He's been by my side since I published 'Manna-X', and although he has beliefs, he can see that I mean well...which I do..and said so many nice things, keeping me going. He's reviewed a few books, been a beta-reader, allowed me to help him and win myself some Amazon money...he's just 'been there' when I needed someone. Thank you, Jasper T. Scott :-)
Jasper (@JasperTScott) describes himself on twitter as..."Author of Dark Space and other Sci Fi, Fantasy, and Mystery Novels, Husband to darling Wife, and Sometime Actor/Model."
He has a very popular website at http://www.jaspertscott.com/ and has written 5 books, including the Dark Space Trilogy. He has so many sales that he can now live on his royalties! Yes, he's one of the lucky few!!
Dark Space IV is coming soon!
But here's the Blurb for Dark Space III (Origin)...
http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Space-Book-3-Origin-ebook/dp/B00GAPWQC4
Book 3 of the #1 Best-Selling Space Opera in the UK & #1 Space Fleet in the US--Dark Space
New to the series? Get Dark Space 1 here: goo.gl/tdPkU & Dark Space 2 here: goo.gl/l05YJI
THE DEFIANT IS STRANDED
Ethan and his son, Atton, have been arrested for high treason and conspiracy, crimes which will surely mean the death sentence, but it's beginning to look like theirs aren't the only lives in jeopardy--the Defiant is stranded in Sythian Space, and the vessel which Commander Caldin sent to get help has used all its fuel to get to Obsidian Station, only to find out that the station has been destroyed. Now the Defiant's last hope for a rescue is gone, and everyone on board is about to die a cold, dark death.
HUMANITY IS STILL FIGHTING ITSELF
Meanwhile, the notorious crime lord, Alec Brondi, is plotting to capture the remnants of Admiral Hoff's fleet, just as he captured the Valiant, but Hoff's men are on to him, and Brondi is about to get a lot more than he bargained for, forcing him to flee to the one place he knows will be safe--Dark Space.
AND A NEW INVASION IS ABOUT TO BEGIN
But Dark Space is only safe because the alien invaders don't know exactly where it is, and now they have a plan to find it which will threaten not only Dark Space, but the entire human race.
Again, thank you, Jasper! :-)

Oh the wonderful things Mr Orbán can do
Readers' photos - Dani's Shorts 2 :-)
Sometimes a reader sends me a photo of themselves with one of my paperbacks.
If you'd like to do the same, please send it to @jedlica on twitter :-)
Here's a photo of the ONLY paperback copy of 'Dani's Shorts 2' and its reader (Thanks, Mum) :-)
(there are now over 100 ebook copies worldwide after only 3 weeks - okay, still pretty low, but I'm only a poor little self-publisher with no financial backing)

Thanks to (2): Sara Bain
I met Sara Bain on Goodreads, and whenever I have an event on Goodreads, she's there to tell her own community. Thank you Sara Bain (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7244296.Sara_Bain).
Sara has her own website...http://www.sarabain.co.uk/
...and her own publishing company! http://ivymoonpress.wordpress.com/
I found an interview she made, back in November 2013...
http://kellysmithreviews.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/author-interview-sara-bain/
And of course, her first book...:-)
"The Sleeping Warrior" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E7B02HE)
Here's the Blurb...
LONDON solicitor Libby Butler’s life is in a self-inflicted mess. Her affair with her boss is going nowhere as is her position in the prestigious city law firm where she works. A narrow escape from the knife of south London’s elusive serial murderer, The Vampire Killer, has challenged her outward bravado and left her nerves and personal life in tatters.
When duty calls Libby to a metropolitan police station in the middle of the night, she meets the enigmatic Gabriel Radley. Dressed like an ancient warrior in studded leather armour, Gabriel has a habit of disappearing from police custody and danger appears to dog him.
Gabriel is searching for a 'stone' he has lost, its value 'beyond human imagination', that will help bring a 'monster' to justice. When Libby agrees to help him, she unwittingly plunges her life into a series of disasters and neither she nor any of her friends are safe.
A cult who call themselves The Awakened, a gangland thug and his henchman, a female assassin, a detective chief inspector from Scotland Yard, and even the serial killer, all become inadvertently embroiled in the chase for the stone and the pivotal force of Gabriel.
As the death toll rises, Libby is forced to face herself, learn the true value of life and the potent significance of the Sleeping Warrior within.
Again, because I'm in Eastern Europe, Amazon wants me to buy the book for a whopping $6.77...(ouch)..so I read the sample (beggars can't be choosers) :-)

Thanks to (1): John T. Sonne :-)
There are a few poeple who help me. I will try to thank each one of them as the weeks go by.
The first up is John T. Sonne. Whenever I have a promo or when something special is on, he's there to 'retweet' it on twitter. Every time. Thank you, John T. Sonne.

John T. Sonne (https://twitter.com/JohnTSonne), living somewhere in the Great American Midwest (USA) describes himself as..."Writer, Father, Husband, & Malcontent."
His first novel, THE SUIT is available exclusively for Kindle (http://www.amazon.com/The-Suit-John-T-Sonne-ebook/dp/B00AANRK4G)
Here's the blurb on Amazon...
Alan Sorenson is a pawn in the corporate world hanging by his
fingernails financially. A road warrior living out of a suitcase; he
leaves the family he adores each Monday morning. Alan's descent begins
as he is fired from his job due to circumstances of his own making.
Instead of facing his dilemma, he goes to ridiculous lengths to hide his
failures from the family he adores.
Alan's quest to secure a new job in time to avoid ruining Christmas for his wife and two young sons begins badly and quickly turns surreal. He finds a temporary solution in a local business run by a peculiar old couple. Coerced into playing Mall Santa to atone for his latest transgressions, Alan discovers that he is not the only one with secrets as he is pulled into their world. A serendipitous relationship with the odd little old man provides him with a solution to all of his troubles.
With scant resources and deteriorating sanity, he must choose between leaving the world that led him to his current situation and joining the old man in a confederacy of philanthropy. If he can learn to trust his heart and the old man, a wonderful new life is his for the taking. Despite his best efforts to sabotage his own recovery, a magical happy ending awaits.
The Suit expands the Christmas myth to finally provide an explanation for the mystery of how Santa Claus makes it to all of those homes in a single night. This heartfelt tale combines humor, suspense and just enough Christmas magic to create a world where anything is possible if we rely on our human instincts and quit trying to please all of the wrong people.

I'd buy it at the $2.99 it says, but when I want to buy it, the price goes up to
$6.34! (ouch).
I read the sample...I bit 'tell' rather than 'show' but a good start! :-)
Once again, Thank you, John T. Sonne!
