    Yo, Adrian

    Well. Readsalot I write different genres. The Dealer's Games trilogy is a crime series about marijuana dealers. Book of James is the story of Jesus as told to us by his younger brother James. The upcoming That's Why Vampires Suck is a satire. But you might be interested in Eden Found. It has an...

    Beautiful Winds

    I have to agree with WriterJohnB. This isn't a story at all. It's a descriptive paragraph that would possibly open a story (unless there's more to it that I missed). A story (even a short one) needs a beginning, middle and end. A short story doesn't necessarily need a resolution, but it does...

    The Dangers of Book Learnin' by Mars Cronin

    This will be my last post on this thread until and unless I get some action on it. No point wasting anyone's time. :-) This should give everyone a decent taste of what the book is like. The footnotes will be hyperlinked in the ebook for easy bouncing back and forth. Hope you enjoy. As...

    The Dangers of Book Learnin' by Mars Cronin

    Here's the Prologue to the book and the opening paragraph of the first chapter. Every chapter of That's Why Vampires Suck opens with the words...That's why, another of the running jokes. After the prologue the story is told by Arty himself in the first person. Again, comments and helpful...

    The Dangers of Book Learnin' by Mars Cronin

    So my latest, which I'm now editing, is a satire. The narrator, Arty Shaw, is a failed writer of short stories. One of the running jokes of the book is that Arty is so bad, he doesn't just get reject slips from editors, agents and publishers, he gets reject letters. Some of which go on for...

    Eden Found by Mars Cronin

    I don't want to mislead you beer good. This material is not some undiscovered archeological find; it's a completely different animal. See my response to Peder for further clarification...Mars

    Eden Found by Mars Cronin

    Yes, Peder all references to source material is omitted in the novel. My plan is to let readers discover it for themselves. And it won't be that hard for the careful researcher. And I DO think this book contributes to..."serious analysis, clarification, argumentation and interpretation..." as...

    Eden Found by Mars Cronin

    Heh, heh. It's not a secret. It's just that I want the dialogue that I hope to generate to come from readers of my book. I'm not interested in having discussions with zealots (and I'm not implying that you are, seriously) who think certain books are the be-all and end-all of his life and...

    Eden Found by Mars Cronin

    I certainly don't mind you asking, Beer Good (love the name), but prefer not to discuss it with anyone who hasn't actually read the book first. But let me tell you this; I have studied the source material extensively for about 30 years and have yet to find one historical, geographical or...

    Eden Found by Mars Cronin

    Thanks for the comment, Peder. Both Smashwords and Amazon allow free looks at the first 50 pages or so. Also check out the reviews on Amazon. They're quotes from unsolicited reviews by professionals from when I put it out in paperback a few years back. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks again...Mars

    Eden Found by Mars Cronin

    The Devil's Game by Mars Cronin More shameless self promotion :innocent: Pot dealer Steve "Quinny" McQuinn falls so deep into the cesspool of the life there's no way to wash the stink off. Or is there? The dealing world is a sink hole that can swallow the unwary in the blink of an eye. And...

    Eden Found by Mars Cronin

    So here comes the shameless self promotion: Lenny Cronin was Boston's most renowned investigative reporter until he ran a story that falsely implicated the mayor in a political scandal. Now he's consigned to his personal hell of reporting science news. Little does he know that the dullest job...

    Yo, Adrian

    Too many hi's and hello's for titles in this forum. :-) So my name's Mars Cronin and I write novels. I joined this forum in the hopes of connecting with both readers and writers. Readers to see what they like and dislike. Writers to see if there are any opportunities for cross promotion. And...

    Hi

    Hi K.T.; I'm essentially in the same boat as you are: new to the site, writing novels and looking for fellow authors to work with. I'm not even sure what's next, but I'll gladly read one of your novels and review it if you'll do the same for me. I want an honest review, not a fake "I loved it"...
