El Secreto Sumergeto - Cristian Perfumo

Bio:
Born in Argentina. Lived three years in Spain and the last two, I spent in Australia. This is my first novel. It is based on a true story that when I first heard I though "Someone has to write a book about it". It ended up being me.

Product description:

Well, since the whole book is in Spanish, I might as well give you the blurb in Spanish. Here we go:

En plena Patagonia, un joven buzo aficionado oye por casualidad la historia de una corbeta británica que naufragó en 1770 no lejos de lo que hoy es su pueblo. Probablemente se trate de otro de los tantos rumores falsos que circulan por Puerto Deseado pero, por preguntar, él y sus amigos no pierden nada. ¿O sí? Tan pronto como obtienen algo de información, un asesinato transforma la inocente búsqueda en una competencia por reflotar, luego de más de dos siglos bajo el mar, un secreto capaz de cambiar la Historia. Pero, si quieren encontrarlo, deberán arriesgar sus vidas.

Q: What will e-readers like about your book?
Fast paced and based on a true story: in 1982 a group of SCUBA aficionados from Puerto Deseado, my home town in Patagonia, discovered a shipwreck sunk in 1770!

Q: Why did you go indie?
I had no writing credits, so it was my only choice. Also, I live in Australia and I was going home (Argentina) for a visit and I really wanted to launch the book while I was there (I had 500 copies printed... and it sold out!). Going indie gave me full control of time.

Q: Who are your favorite authors in your genre?

Arturo Pérez-Reverte and Arthur Conan Doyle.

Night Journey - Goldie Browning

BIO: 

Goldie Browning’s twisted imagination and fascination with the paranormal began in early childhood with her grandmother’s ghost stories and her brother’s retelling of classic fairy tales, such as Snow White and the Seven Little Frankensteins and Cinderacula. 

Her first and favorite job was as a secretary at a military mortuary in Germany, followed by more mundane employment which included being a newspaper reporter, a real estate agent, a substitute school teacher, and a legal secretary.  She finally settled down to a long career as a courtroom deputy clerk for two federal judges before retiring and getting to do what she wants to do when she grows up—be a writer.                        

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:  NIGHT JOURNEY – a ghostly tale of past lives that intersect with the present

Q.  What will e-readers like about your book?    

       I believe e-readers will like my book because it is fast-paced, exciting, scary, and romantic, all rolled up in one.  Night Journey is set at a real hotel in Arkansas purported to be the most haunted hotel in America, and was once the cancer hospital owned by real-life bad guy, Dr. Norman Baker.  Night Journey is a thrilling ride through time and back as heroine Emma Fuller has an accident, dies and is revived, but is left comatose.  While she’s in her coma, her soul is transported to 1938 where the spirits she’d heard about on the ghost tour are now real live people.  You’ll be turning the pages of your Kindle to find out what happens next.     

Q.  Why did you go indie?

            I’m so glad I went Indie, but I fought it for a long time, thinking I had to be published by The Big Guys.  I paid my dues, querying and collecting rejections and discovered that Night Journey didn’t fit into any of their niches.  The Big Guys don’t have time for books that don’t fit into their niches.  I’d just about given up after congestive heart failure almost got me, followed by a chain of other severe family illnesses.  Trying to sell your writing takes a lot of energy and I didn’t have any.  But then one day, out of the blue, one of my friends opened his own publishing company and asked me if he could publish Night Journey.  I’m so happy he asked me.       

Q.  Who are your favorite authors in your genre?  Lorelei Shannon, Erin Grady, Stephen King
