A Thank You, Ionia Martin for Helping Launch His Revenge

Ionia Martin_

Ionia Martin is helping with the launch of His Revenge. She has a post on her Readfulthings blog announcing the launch that you can read HERE. Ionia is a very special person who has continually helped authors succeed. She is a fabulous reviewer and ranks in the top 500 reviewers on Amazon. On a personal note, she has been instrumental in giving me the courage to break away from my publisher and self-publish my books. Her favorite piece of advice is “do it.”

You should know Ionia has published three excellent books in the last few months. You can see them all on Amazon.

Here are the books (WARNING: YOU  MUST HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR TO ENJOY THURSDAY THE TWELFTH AND PLUNDERING THE ROMANCE NOVEL. If not, stay away)

Here is a little more about Ionia in her words.

“I’m currently working on writing a series of comedy books that spoof the various genres of literature (as well as some historical events) and point out common pitfalls in genre fiction. When I’m not working on those, I’m devoting my time to reading, and the study of Colonial America. (Yes, I can be serious once in a while, but who wants to make a career out of that?)

I love to travel and explore new places to get ideas for my books. I also have a lot of fun on my blog, Readful Things. Hope to see you there!

I’ve got four little boys who keep me pretty busy, and my ten-year-old son is already practising his own book writing skills (uh-oh.) I love hearing your thoughts and opinions on my work, be they positive or negative. I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my small slice of this great big Amazon and wish you all the best things life can bring! ”

Big hug to you Ionia.

Tuesday – Anything Possible – Ionia Martin

Iona Martin has just published two books and since she is such a good writer I want to take the time to let you know about them.

a Reluctant Muse

The first is one that Ionia wrote for authors. She is such and excellent reviewer and writer that it is time for all of us to take advantage of the prompts that she has provided.  It is titled The Reluctant Muse and is “a writing prompt and idea book for authors of fiction works. It is intended to offer inspiration when you can’t think of anything to write about and includes photos, exercises and inspirational quotes. It is not a long book and the exercises are simple and designed to only take a few minutes of your time. Hope you enjoy!” I know i want to read it and gain some fresh ideas.

The second book is one that only Ionia could write. Titled Plundering the Romance Novel the cover explains a lot

To Quote the description on Amazon, It is a “silly, satirical romp into the land of romance novels and pirate adventures, full of romance clichés and humour. This book is a short novella, just over 10k words. Have you ever wondered what goes on in the minds and hearts of romance novel heroes and heroines? No? Good, because this book won’t be helpful with that at all.”

This is the beginning of a group of books that poke fun at the various genres. Sounds like a good time.
