I hope you will accept my book, You ...Dear Editor:<br /><br />I hope you will accept my book, You Don’t Die of<br />Love, for review. It is a book of linked short stories that<br />explores the lives of a group of characters drawn to the city of angels by<br />their love of cinema. Dreams<br />collide with reality at the center of the movie-making capital of the world, in<br />this pithy, rueful, and tender collection of linked short stories.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You Don’t Die of Love<br />is the story of what happened to that generation of movie lovers that came of<br />age in the early seventies. The first ones to go to film school and descend<br />upon Hollywood with auteur dreams. It was the time of Raging Bulls and Easy<br />Riders, a time when directors were superstars and the medium of film was<br />beginning to seem like a revolutionary form of mass art. Of course that didn’t<br />last and not all of them went on to fame and fortune, but they did go on living. <br />This is that story. A story<br />of losing your dreams and finding<br />yourself, or vice versa. Either<br />way can bring disaster and usually does in this lively and inventive tale of<br />lives gone awry.

My debut novel, Robin: Lady of Legend, has just been released as an eBook, and I would be very grateful if you would consider reviewing it. My novel takes 800 years of Robin Hood legends and stories and tumbles them on their head, reinventing them into a powerful tale where Robin Hood is a woman.If you would be interested in reviewing my book, please let me know. I can provide it to you free as a PDF, Kindle MOBI, or Nook EPUB file.

I've just published my book 'Ka Mate: Travels in New Zealand' as a paperback and Kindle ebook. Here's the blurb:<br /><br />"The New Zealand All Blacks are one of the most recognizable team <br />franchises in modern sport, and their performance of the Ka Mate haka <br />war dance prior to international matches is known across the globe. But <br />how many of us know anything about the Maori people to whom this haka <br />belongs?<br /><br /><br />Ka Mate: Travels In New Zealand takes us on a three month <br />journey around New Zealand, through the vineyards, over the glaciers, <br />and across the fields of boiling mud. Freelance journalist and writer <br />Dan Coxon does more than simply entertain us with anecdotes of his <br />travels: he unravels New Zealand's complex history of migration and <br />settlement, and reveals an intriguing story of British colonization that<br /> still has repercussions today.<br /><br /><br />Plus there's time for a rugby match or two along the way."<br /><br /><br />If you're at all interested, you can find more of my writing here: http://dancoxon.com. Please contact me at dancoxon@gmail.com to arrange for a review copy. Many thanks!Floyd M.

The book includes 38 pages of physician-reviewed appendices. It will also be published in Spanish sometime in 2010. <br />Details and excerpts are here: <br />http://www.dvorkin.com/brcan/index.htm<br />Both books are on Amazon and other buying sites.<br />I took both the cover photos.<br />Thanks very much for your time and attention.<br />- Leonore H.

If I read the above info correctly, we are to leave our book material here to be selected for review. Please let me know if I need to do anything further.<br /><br />Megan's Way, a work of literary fiction, is my debut novel, published through Outskirts Press. I have never used a paid review site, nor have I paid or otherwise solicited reviews. I do have 5 reviews on Amazon from actual readers, though. I hope that is not held against me. <br /><br />Megan's Way can be found on Amazon:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Megans-Way-Melissa-Foster/dp/1432744429/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250011438&sr=8-1<br /><br />My website is:<br />http://www.megansway.com<br /><br />I am also the Founder of The Women's Nest, a support and social community for women.<br />http://www.thewomensnest.com<br /><br />Thank you for your consideration.Melissa Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508368065806823185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31024695.post-42246133569996910112009-08-06T13:51:44.394-05:002009-08-06T13:51:44.394-05:00Hi!
