Hello All,
Just thought I'd share that 29 eBooks were picked up on Saturday during the free promotion on Amazon! Thanks for everyone's support! Thanks! Brian Hello All,
Thran Book I: The Birth is free on Amazon today - Saturday 11/23. So get a copy and tell your friends and family about it! Progress on Book II continues. I'm about 40% of the way through the first draft, and it's exciting to see the plot twists come into play and bring a deeper dimension to the story. Thanks again for all your support! Brian Hello All,
Thran is now available at Barnes & Noble as an eBook. If you've been waiting for Thran to be available as NOOK ebook, the wait is over. Click here to check it out! All the best, Brian Hello All!
We hit 100 Voracious Readers in July, which is great news! Thank you to all my readers out there - I really appreciate the support! Remember, it's super helpful to leave a review on GoodReads or Amazon - a good review or star rating can be that little push a prospective reader needs to purchase the book. Progress continues on Book II as I just finished Chapter 10! For whatever reason, some chapters write more easily than others - Chapter 9 was difficult but Chapter 10 was a breeze and fun to create. I am always amazed by the writing process where the characters take on a life of their own and the plot moves in directions I never planned ahead of time. Hopefully that uncertainty comes across in the book and gives the readers the same, pleasant, surprise twist! Thanks again for all your support! Brian Hello Everyone!
We actually blew past 75 pretty quickly, and now are at 82! I appreciate every reader for taking an interest, no matter how they find their way to the World of Thran - so thank you to all the Thran readers out there! Thank you for your support and have happy July 4th weekend!! Thanks, Brian Hello All!
First, I'd like to thank all you Voracious Readers out there who have chosen to read Thran Book I: The Birth. I really appreciate the time you're taking to read the book and hopefully provide a small snippet of feedback or, even better, leave a review on Good Reads, Amazon, or both. Of course the same sentiment goes to all those readers who bought the book or found their way to the World of Thran on their own!! OKAY!! The big news of the day is that Thran Book I: The Birth has received its first professional review! Karas Jim is currently in a masters program for English and American studies. I'm quoting from his bio where he states: "My studies include the ability of critical analysis of literary texts from different perspectives, adhering to different theories of reading." Given his "critical" eye, he gave the book 3 stars (out of 5) and a "Worth Reading" tag, but I urge you to read his review which is very flattering and makes me proud...and, by the way, reads more like a 4 star review! ;) To read the full review, you can use this link: https://reedsy.com/discovery/book/thran-book-i-the-birth-brian-mclaughlin Thanks again for all your support!

Today I launched a campaign on Voracious Readers Only. This is a site that helps match readers who are willing to add their emails to my email lists as well as provide some feedback on the book. For doing that, I give them a free copy of the ebook. Thanks to all the VRO's out there who signed up! I hope you all enjoy the book and I look forward to hearing the feedback! I you do enjoy it, please tell your friends and family! Thanks! Brian Hello All,
Still working on Book II, but the good news is there was one plot angle that I was struggling with. I normally go to sleep thinking about the book and different scenarios, and the other night the solution came to me, which helps inspire me to write more! On a side note, I have begun the process of looking for a narrator for an audio-book of Book I. It's exciting to hear actors read the material! I expect to make that decision in the next week or two. It's a big commitment because it's a 7 year contract for the audio rights. So we'll see, there are a couple good options right now and if you're a narrator out there - get on ACX and provide an audition! Thanks to everyone who has already rea the book and your support! Don't forget to leave a review on Good Reads, or Amazon! Thanks, Brian Hello All,
So far 30 paperbacks have been sold and 20 eBooks! Thank you to all of you who have supported me! Don't forget to leave a review on Amazon or GoodReads, those things help a bunch! Book II continues to progress. I'm on Chapter 7 and about 15% of the way done. You'll find book II getting deeper into the characters and revealing more of their motivations that were still relatively hidden in Book I as they struggled against the foes arrayed against them. Thank you! Brian Hello All,
Thran Book I: The Birth is now available as a signed copy. You can request yours form the home page, or right here. Progress on book two continues. Book one has taken a lot of time to get it to the point of being a paperback, but I still find a way to carve out some time to write new material! Thanks Everyone! Brian P.S. If you've read the book, but haven't left a review on Amazon - Please do so! The reviews are very helpful! Yuo can do that right here! Thanks! |
