Down Under the Under-dwellers

After a second free promotion for Sick Nick (Book 1 in the Under-dwellers series) I saw a large growth of downloads. A favourable review from a top 500, "vine voice" reviewer no doubt aided this. I keep wondering if the cover art, with the blue cat's eyes peering out from the darkness, and the odd description haven't been intriguing enough. It's a greater work of literature than Sector Storm, yet this one has had a much harder time selling, perhaps because there really is no official sub-genre for 'supernatural thriller.' I've listed it under 'horror' and 'psychological thriller' (both listed under 'suspense,') since that's as close as the available categories get. Not all books fit neatly into a particular sub-genre, and not many artistic authors write that way.

If only I had more time and money to devote toward marketing...but, I don't.

Hopefully my upcoming book will reinvigorate things. I've got fifteen chapters written now. It's building to the big climax. After that, a great deal of editing will follow (for both creative improvement and spelling/grammar mistakes.) It's a long and unpleasant side of writing; reading over every line of the entire book, over and over again, still amazed that you can find mistakes.

This book is looking very promising though. It has a mystical charm about it, yet it's set in a rich world full of wonders and dangers. It centres on love and loyalty, and ultimately it's about following one's heart through to the end (or for some, discovering it.) Hopefully I can find a nice cover within my budget that can do it justice :)
