Hi All. It is great for us new authors to be able to promote our books in this "safe" environment. My book was published 4/17/12 on Kindle and is a Fantasy set in modern-day New York. The synopsis is as follows:
"A man awakens to find himself half-in, half-out of a trashcan in a back alley behind the Boathouse Restaurant in Central Park, New York. He has no idea who he is, where he is, or how he got there. He doesn’t even know his own name, except that it begins with a ‘Br’ sound. In Book One of the Hearth trilogy, this man wanders the streets in search of his identity, his memories, and his name. He is joined along the way by two companions, an orphan girl named Page, and a similarly memory-challenged woman named Lauren. Together they embark on a journey across the Christmas landscape of New York City, seeking answers to an unfolding and ever-growing mystery, watched over by Sister Regina, the head of the Convent where they are staying . . . and as they begin to find answers, as they begin to discover more and more clues to Lauren and Brinn’s identities, something stalks them – an ancient and deadly Evil from before the dawn of recorded history. A clock is ticking now, and they better solve the mystery of their origins and who they are soon. For it is not just they and everyone around them who are threatened; the entire fate of humanity and of two worlds is in peril, unless they find answers, and find answers soon."
If this intrigues anyone, you can download a Free sample from Amazon and see what you think. I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone has about it. Thanks!

thanks for including the synopsis - that really helps readers quickly filter out genres they would never read.

No, it was indeed very helpful - If we were browsing in a store we would have more clues than just a name. Some authors just give us a title, and I, and I suspect others will tend not to take the time to look it up on Amazon without a hint as to whether the book is:
Hearth: Exile - A survey of Hebrew inscriptions on Babylonian baking stones
Hearth: Exile - Millie, a Victorian parlour-maid knocks a china dog of the mantelpiece, and is exiled to the scullery, how can she persuade he mistress that is was the fault of the moustache-twirling Sir Hector Evil-Meaning
(I have sent the sample to my Kindle - but I won't get to reading it for a while)
