JR Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Big shout out to all my friends at Theme Park Review, It's been a while since I last posted here, such are the joys of become a grown up and studying for a law degree Truth of the matter is I get as bored with boring work as anyone and have to find ways to make life worth living. Designing coasters always helps For the last eight years one other trick for me has been to work on a novel. The great news is I have just finished writing it and it went into registered copyright on the weekend. Now at last I am able to talk about it a bit. It is called "Samuel Deksis and the Castle of the Kings" and it is aimed at Harry Potter fans who have grown up a bit. It is still a lot of fun but it deals with more mature themes like the eithics of war and so on. I think everyone here is going to love it! There is a great chapter with a flying carpet racing competition that goes out of control, how cool would that be as a ride!!! The novel is 93,000 words long, that's about 300 pages when double spaced on A4 paper. There is a facebook group which you can all join: > > > HERE < < < The novel is free to download and read the first 30 pages. If you then want to buy the rest of the novel it will cost you just £5. Please, please help me on this one guys and tell all your friends and family about it if you like it!! Oh, and here is the cover: If I see enough of you have made the effort to suppoort the book, I may be pursuaded to post an extract on the magic flying carpet section here

robbalvey Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 JR, While I can absolutely appreciate the hard work that has gone into this, I don't think it's fair that it would appear that the only time you've posted to the forum in the past couple of months is to advertise your book...in TWO different forums!!! I've deleted the thread in the Games forum because it's not necessary to have two threads about this, and I will leave the links up in this thread for people to see if they are interested, but I am going to lock the thread because this is not something we would normally allow. If you were an active poster or contributor to the site, that may be different, but if you are just coming here to advertise something that is off topic to our forum, I don't think that's appropriate. --Robb
