Finally! Amazon pull their finger out...

Post by The Literary Trials of Richard Rhys Jones.

So there you have it, all three of my books are now out on Kindle with Thorstruck Press.

Of course, as ever, this final release did not go by the numbers. Amazon decided that despite the fact Thorstruck sent them:

1.) A letter from Taylor Street to say The House in Wales no longer belongs to them.

2.) A letter from me to say Thorstruck Press have the rights to The House in Wales.

3.) A letter from them to say they are going to re-release it.

 That they didn't have enough clarity on who owns what and took the book back down.

I've always said Amazon are brilliant if you're a customer. However, try selling anything on their platform and they make you jump hoops, swallow fire and sign your soul over before they agree to anything. They had all the information already, they just couldn't be bothered looking for it and so demanded we send it all again.

Anyway, drama over, and it's now up. Time for me to get back to writing my WIP...

It's just occurred to me that I don't have a trailer for House.

I think I'll do that today!

Why not, it's the weekend, let's go crazy!

Okay, as you were.

Audio book sample!

Well, it's on the verge of popping up on Amazon, (ooer, sounds a bit rude!), and I don't mind telling you that I'm so excited about it, I'm fit to explode. (OO-ER!!!)

The audio book for The Division of the Damned is now being finished off, (ooer) and packaged into a tight little pressy that'll have your whole family squirming in fear and delight when you give it to them at Christmas. (I hope you noted the omission of any "innuendo-exclamation" there. Even I have some morals, as hard as they may be to discern).

Have a listen here, then mentally make a note to buy it for everyone; because nobody should be starved of the joy of Nazi vampires just because they can't read. 

Right kids?

Right Reg. Now they can listen in to the gore :)

New trailer, new release!

Post by The Literary Trials of Richard Rhys Jones.

This is what I posted on my Facebook page for my latest release. The Chronicles of Supernatural Warfare, seven years in the making and about seventy years of wear and tear on my nervous system. The original idea came from Teresa Geering, of the Shasta trilogy fame, who liked my short stories and suggested they should be put together in a collection. A couple of years later I mentioned the idea to Paul and that started the ball rolling. 

This is actually the second publication. Paul Rudd, (the other chap who contributed) published it a few months ago, albeit for only a couple of weeks. It sold one or two copies, mainly to friends, and then was taken down when Thorstruck mentioned they might be interested.

My good mate George Winterbottom provided the third eye of editing, Andi Renson made a cover, Paul formatted it and I watched bemusedly on as it was published with as much pomp and ceremony as our meagre wallets could promote, then promptly taken down.

Edited again, with a new cover and publishing house, (Our publishing house was called Rampant Roadkill, we even had a logo and everything), Chronicles is out now, on Amazon and I'm very proud and happy.

Further to this, The House in Wales should be re-released very soon, Amazon and the Gods willing, so that'll be all three of my books out on Thorstruck Press.
I'd better sort my act out and put fingers to keys for my next book, hadn't I?

As you were.

The new trailer with the new cover!!!

So, very quickly, here's the new trailer with, as is advertised above, the new cover.
Press play and enjoy...

For those who hate to read...

Yesterday I was told some news that I've been itching to hear since I heard it was on the books.

The Division of the Damned will soon be released as an audiobook.
This means that as of September, (the month of release), my friends who have absolutely no wish to read anything can simply put the stereo/computer on, sit back and close their eyes as they're whisked off to Transylvania with Standartenführer Von Struck and his crew.

The Division of the Damned on audiobook, I'm seriously stoked about this new development. It shows that Thorstruck are committed to making an effort for those few they have on their books. It's also more coverage for me as well, the more you're out there, the more you're seen, right kids?
Right Reg.

I also had a very nice Amazon write-up yesterday as well, bringing the tally of five star reviews to forty-eight, out of sixty-eight. Not bad for a nobody like myself... in fact bloody good truth be told.
Have a read:

5.0 out of 5 stars Seemed perfectly plausible to me..., 12 July 2014 By  Mike Church (Spain) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Division of the Damned (Kindle Edition) I’m not remotely interested in vampires, I don’t much care for werewolves and, if truth be told, I’d rather not read about the atrocities of the Second World War. What possessed me, therefore, to buy this magnificent tale remains a mystery; and it is, of course, all the more to the author’s credit that I found myself thoroughly absorbed by this page-clicking adventure. The depth of research and historical accuracy on offer here is such that we find ourselves happily suspending disbelief – vampires fighting alongside SS soldiers for heaven’s sake! – while wondering, Perhaps the history books haven’t quite told us the whole story? Until you reach the last page, that is, when you fall back to earth with a bump, and remind yourself that daydreaming is all well and good, but it’s not going to put your dinner on the table. Nice innit? Have a great weekend and good luck to Germany tonight in the World Cup Final! As you were. Reggie.
