A call for Sci-Fi, Horror, Thriller, Mystery and Steampunk authors

[Mike]

Hey, it's been a long time since I've posted anything on this forum! As some of you know, I've been on a little hiatus from NIWA to deal with the incredible amount of events I've had going on this last few months. Things are still busy, but I'm working on a writing project that could be beneficial for all involved.

For this project I've been putting together a list of NIWA authors and their books. What I've found is that we have a plethora of Urban Fantasy, Fantasy and YA Fantasy authors in our group! While this is great (because I also write some Urban Fantasy), my list contains only a few (including myself) Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller, Mystery and Steampunk authors.

So, since there have been a lot of new members I've never met, and maybe some old members too, I'm looking for those members with novels in the Sci-Fi, Horror, Thriller, Mystery and Steampunk genres. Once I have finished assembling my list, I'll know some more about the new project. I was specifically asked by the project's leader to, as he said, 'run this up the NIWA flagpole and see what kind of response you get."

If you're interested in a great opportunity for exposing your work to a larger audience, and the possibility of some well-deserved financial benefit for your writing, please let me know by simply posting your name and a link to your website or Amazon author page in this thread.

Thanks, and good writing!

Mike, that all sounds very intriguing [smiley].

The novel I'm just about to release is called Night of the Victorian Dead, so it's horror, historical fiction/paranormal horror.  And there will be two more books (it's a trilogy).  

[Pat Timm]

Hi Mike! Thanks for your efforts.

My first book in a trilogy i published working on the second..Links:

Pat, did you have Amazon put the front and back cover of your book in the book cover area, or did they just take your paperback cover submission and put it up there?

[Pat Timm]

I resubmitted that version and they accepted it.

Author of a new novel Whispers in the Wind-The Calling. Available at  Amazon, Barnes&Noble, and others.

Please excuse any typos or errors as this was sent from a handheld device.

Interesting.  The larger visual space is eye catching once you get to the page.  

[Mike]

Thanks, everybody. I'm continuing to work on this project and I'm getting closer to being able to disclose what's going on. I can say this: It has great potential to benefit all involved, both financially and professionally. More to come!

In the meantime, check out my post for Endless Horizons. This is another project that a few of NIWA's founding members threw together recently.

Hey Mike - sounds interesting. Do you have a link?

 

[Jason LaPier]

Nevermind, I replied to this before I saw your other post about the Facebook group. :)

[Mike]

Amber, do you have a website I could check out?
