First Magic Kingdom Review!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real rib tickler!, November 24, 2010

This review is from: Magic Kingdom – Foreclosed / A Spoof Based on Terry Brooks’ “Magic Kingdom for Sale” From the Author of the Frontmire Histories (Kindle Edition)

I love Terry Brooks but this spoof is funnier than the original. With a touch of Monty Python type silliness and a full speed ahead writing style, Daigle has created a world where your not always sure what’s going on, but you know you like it. If you are looking for some fun light reading, this is for you.

This review is from: Prince of the Elves: The Frontmire Histories – Book I (Paperback)

Wonderfully colorful characters that, were it not for their possession of magic, or exceptional strength, or ability to lengthen their lifespans at will, could be found in some not so remote part of the U.S. having human adventures in countrysides that touch the heart with their beauty. All but the most sinister – that would be Daektoch – are either endearing, funny, clumsy, swashbuckling, or whatever human characteristics you’d want them to have. They make us want to know what happens next, what happens to THEM next. As I said, there are beautiful moments of descriptions of nature, especially when it comes to sea and mountains, and that alone was enough to keep me wanting more. I’m not generally one to read fantasy, but I sure liked this one for its heart, humor, and huzzah!

Kindle Sales

Well! Kindle sales have taken a life of their own and have left paperbacks in the dust.

We are now into our fourth month of an average of 4 books per day!

Go Kindle!

I was recently interviewed by Marshal Zeringue of the Canine and Caffeine blog

It’s a site for coffee drinking authors and their dogs. Check it out dog lovers.

Report on Festival Activities

davethedc — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 05:31:47 +0000

Sigh!

This was my third day of attending festivals to market my book.

On the plus side, some who had read my previous books stopped by to by the remainder of the series.

Neg side – very few were willing to start the series, hence sales have beeeen sllooowwwww.

Plus side, I’m doing better selling my chiropractic business at these events than my books. It has more monetary value but is not as much fun.

Today I met a guy who was half way through re-reading Rise of the Dark Queen… now that’s a compliment!

Spreading our wings!

We’re now (we, as in the royal we ) on Kindle Boards! A cool site where Kindle authors can chat and promote their books, and Kindle readers can see what’s happening. Wish me luck.

Meanwhile, if any of you know proven marketing techniques for novels, I’m all ears…

Don’t hold your breath.

Don’t hold your breath, but I have story-boarded Book V of the Frontmire Histories. The plots are very complicated, and I don’t know if I can pull it off. I’ve been thinking about it for a year. New character – Jaxon, the reluctant warrior, estranged son of the self-proclaimed king of Frontmire.

In fact. I think that would be Book V’s title – The Reluctant Warrior.

Again, the time line is warped beyond comprehension, and Morlah finds himself in another age. Meanwhile, 4 Gulf War vets unintentionally travel to Frontmire in a top-secret army time machine.

I hope it happens. I don’t know if it will.
