Shameless self promotion

An unnecessary evil of this world is requiring artists of all disciplines to self promote.  In the information age it has become increasingly easier and more difficult simultaneously.  We can reach more people therefore we are required too in order to compete.  Further precious artistic energies are burned in this pursuit.  If they fail in this or don't possess the gift of marketing along with talent, they blush unseen.  For it is only after some success-or independent wealth-that they can afford to delegate these demands.  Though,  I have a feeling that is illusory.

That said, be forewarned, I am on a campaign.  Whether I win the textnovel contest or not (yes I am back to that again).  I am determined to prove The Raven and the Wolf as marketable.  I need votes and subscribers.  Do not think of it as a chore but consider that it is great entertainment.  Here are some of my reviews so far from some fellow text novel authors:  (You may read all remarks on the site and visit their personal pages through links on the site.)


“Simply put, fantastic writing.”

“Vivid and emotional. It is a beautiful story and I am loving reading it.”
- on 2009-12-13 Jessica Phillips-Breznican




"I'm not a fan of fantasy normally, but if anyone changes my mind, it will be you... Your work should be shared with others."

So enjoy the story.  It is in serialized form so I will be making regular updates, usually two or three each week.  Remember to vote, leave a comment if you like or send a private message if you prefer.  You will have to sign up to vote but email addresses are not sold for spam.  Use the below link to go directly to the story.
