Swords of Rome reviews from Goodread

I'm posting some reviews I've gotten from Goodreads.com since Amazon doesn't allow me to transfer them over to the primary page.

I always appreciate feedback and take everything said into consideration to improve my future work.

Thank you everyone for your time to make some comments.


Paul rated it 4 of 5 stars
Found the book captivating. Character was very real, story line interesting. Had a hard time putting the book down. Being a former veteran, I understood the concept of "blood stripes", and sudden promotions, during battle. Can't wait for Book #2, if it's already written, please let me know where it can be found.

This is a fantastic historical novel fulled of action. I like the time period of the Second Punic War and the way the battles are describable - very vivid. There are some grammar errors but it does not detract from the overall story or concept.

Interesting story but the ebook was the WORST editing (spelling, grammar, etc) I've ever read.

Oober editing issues but if you can look past them this was a good book. Really enjoyed the story and was emotionally invested in the characters... and once again I cried like a baby.

Guy marked it as to-read
This author needs a proof reader. The story is full of typos. So far, storyline interesting.

Starting work on new Roman novel

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been busy with class and receiving news that I'm going to be a father. But work has been moving forward on my next Roman novel. I've been doing a lot of general research into Roman Britain and Gladiators. Not much more to say right now only that there is a lot of great stuff related to both subjects. I hope to start on the first chapters in a few weeks.

Cheers

Conquest of Heroes: Second Rapture cover

Here is the cover for Conquest of Heroes: Second Rapture


Conquest of Heroes: Second Rapture released

I've written and released the first Conquest of Heroes short story in the works and released it on Amazon for only $0.99. Titled, Second Rapture:

Once a video game being developed in the United Kingdom, Conquest of Heroes: Second Rapture is the first story released before 2013's release of the Conquest of Heroes novel, End of an Era.

I plan to write a few more of these short stories, which will expand on the general lore and characters, as well as standalone stories related to the COH universe.

I hope all of you enjoy this first entry.

Cheers

Editing improvements to Swords of Rome

I've gotten a new editing software, Whitesmoke, which I've used before. So, currently I've run through Swords of Rome and given it a polish. Hopefully it reads a bit smoother.

On that note, sales for Swords of Rome this month have been great! I've never expected this book to do so well.

Still working on a few other little short stories namely dealing with Conquest of Heroes. I hope to have the first one out in the next 30 days.

Cheers
