AuthorLexmilian S. R. B. de Mello said… Hi, I wanted to greet you as I just joined the website. I have recently published a FREE (donation based) eBook and I would be thrilled if you included a review on your site. Here is a ditty about it:
The generous seas do roam vividly,
And sacred words spoken earnestly.
People suffer and people go to war,
I just hope these words will go afar.
On 26-4-2013 I published a FREE book,
Indeed a feat of altruism, no crook!
I suffer in silence in every moment.
I have no money to publish a stunt.
I was just hoping for word-of-mouth
And email propagation as loudmouth.
Book is at: http://bookbooster.com/newage.htm
I accept feedback just at: percarus@hotmail.com

Charles Thompson said… Iben,
Thanks so much for welcoming me to Book Blogs. I couldn't find a review policy on your blog, but you might be interested in my new novel: Aralen Dreams. As a work of contemporary mainstream fiction with romantic and humorous elements, I'm hopeful that you'll enjoy it. Indeed, despite the somewhat dark synopsis on the back cover (that I will share with you momentarily) the book is often quite light and funny. Also, the book was ranked 2nd out of 10,000 on Authonomy prior to its publication.
"When John Dillon abandons an unfulfilling job on Wall Street, the Peace Corps sends him to a muddy mountain village in Panama where flesh-eating disease, homegrown dope, and a balding dog become his closest companions. Before long, however, John falls for Elena – a starry-eyed idealist with a strict Mormon upbringing and a startling past. John and Elena travel long distances in handmade canoes and rusted-out buses to share a precious night in the capital. And just as they adapt to their new life, their love is jeopardized by savage violence"
The book is available in all formats. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Charles Thompson
