As some of you might recall, I self-published a novel last
fall. I hoped “Armageddon’s Disciples” would
be successful as my previous works (an alternate history trilogy) had done
well.
Not so with “Disciples.”
I’ve sold a total of nine copies.
It’s not that people don’t like it, it’s getting no attention at all. (My
beta readers and proofreader loved it). I’m surprised the book has not produced
more interest as it deals with sexual scandals and false prophecies within a
high-control religion, a church I created for the book.
This is the back jacket description:
“When three “Disciples” of the Word of God Foundation discover
seventeen-year-old Alice Lahti dead in their meeting hall, police detective Ed
Franklin quickly finds a tangled web of toxic relationships, sexual abuse,
blackmail, murder, and bizarre failed prophecies. Unable to penetrate the Disciples’ closed world,
Ed recruits his neighbor, Keith Thornton, a former member, to guide him.
Already “Cast-out” for heresy and facing shunning by family
and friends, Keith has nothing left to lose.
His wife has left him because he no longer believes in The Word. By helping the police investigation, Keith
marks himself as a “Forsaker”, one who has deliberately turned his back on The
Lord. Keith hopes his assistance will
provide meaning to the havoc the religion created in his life.
As stories of sexual abuse and the body count rises,
investigators struggle to unravel the secret world of “Armageddon’s Disciples.””
So (being honest) I want to create some interest and sales
or find out why I’m not attracting readers.
I would like to recruit three or four members of this board to read it
and write reviews. All I need is your address so I can send the
books. I’ll even autograph them,
although I don’t think my signature is worth anything 😊.
All information will stay confidential,
I will not give out or sell any private information. If you are interested, please PM me.
