A Bright Power Rising Is A B.R.A.G.Medallion Honoree!

registered- 800

I am delighted that A Bright Power Rising has been honored with the B.R.A.G.Medallion. This is a stamp of quality for Indie books. The selection process is very strict. Books undergo an initial screening process to ensure minimum quality standards are in place. If the book passes this hurdle (50% fail), it is appraised by IndieBRAG’s reviewers based on a comprehensive list of criteria relating to the writing, the story and layout. One key criterion is would they recommend the book to their best friend. Only 10% of submissions receive the B.R.A.G.Medallion.

Progress Update

The Unconquered Sun is currently in editing. I finished my last pre-edit draft a bit later than I expected. The release date will not be finalized until the editing process is sufficiently advanced. However, I will reveal the book’s cover next month. I also have written a short story set in the Photocosm. It takes place before the main story in A Bright Power Rising/The Unconquered Sun.

A Bright Power Rising is now available on Kindle Unlimited. It will be free on Amazon from 23rd-25th April. Do check it out!

Updated Cover For A Bright Power Rising.

A Bright Power Rising has a new cover! The image remains the same but the titling has been updated to better fit with the cover of The Unconquered Sun.

The cover is already up on Amazon.  The paperback will be available from Createspace by the end of the week, hopefully.

I know that having a series matching is important to many people so anybody who purchased/received the paperback/ebook with the old cover please feel free to contact me at noelcoughlan@photocosm.org.

My interview on the Read\Write Show is up. Apparently, I said something about Leprechauns. Hopefully, my Leprechaun overlords won’t be too mad. 🙂 Anyway you can listen to the Podcast here.

In other business, I am holding a 99 cent sale of A Bright Power Rising until 1st February. Buy it now before the internet runs out of electrons and the ebooks are all gone. 🙂 If you check your store and it is still displaying the old price email me.

I Will Be A Guest On The Read\Write Show

I will be interviewed on the first episode of Ronel van Tonder’s Read\Write podcast on 30th January. I can’t remember what I said, but, hopefully, it was entertaining. As part of the show, I had to record a reading of the first chapter. The experience has given me a healthy respect for voice artists. Though I have been complimented on my effort, I think I’ll stick to writing! I had to give the characters different voices to differentiate their dialogue. They didn’t sound quite like they do in my head. Hackit for example talks with a slur, but I thought it might make him incomprehensible on the recording so I used a gravely voice for him instead.

Anyway, if you are interested in listening to the show, subscribing, or if you want to participate (Ronel is looking for readers as well as writers), then click here. Alternatively, the show’s twitter account is https://twitter.com/readwrite_show.
