Midnight last night saw the first five novels, chosen on Authonomy by members of the site, which will be read by Harper Collins editors. The top books were:
SPAMMER by Sylvia
Fiction, Crime, Thriller
TORBREK...and the Dragon Variation by Lexi Revellian
Fiction, fantasy
THE STONE FABLES by Toscka
Fiction, Historical Fiction
HAMELIN'S CHILD by DJ Bennett
Fiction, Crime, Thriller
BOOMERANG by Alan Hutcheson
Fiction, Comedy
These books are all quite different, quirky, and very well written; all, I would say (casting modesty aside) worthy of the editors' attention, and all voted for by readers who had read the first chapters, and believed them to be good.
(I do hope the links work, as Authonomy is still in beta)
Well done to all - a marvellous set of books!

Well done!
ReplyDeleteWill HC read the whole of Torbeck, or only the opening chapters?
Oops, apols for spelling error!
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it Anne? Though there are others just as good in the top twenty, which I hope will make the top five.
ReplyDeleteHJ, they will read the first ten thousand words of each book. Though in the case of Spammer, I doubt they'll be able to stop...
Congrats, Lexi (I seem to be saying that to you a lot lately...).

Thanks Nik...celebrate everything, is what I say.
ReplyDeleteAnd brag about it on the blog, natch.
Congratulations. I see you have yet another 'star' rising on Authonomy - deservedly so.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorrie - not sure it is going up right now...time will reveal all.
