For the first time ever "The Brotherhood Of The Realms”,
the Pilot novel that launches "On A Storyteller’s Night” book series,
has been put into the Public Domain’s Kindle catalogue. The novel, which
had been promised big sales and exposure by American company SBPRA, has
re-directed itself to the "eBook” format by the Author himself.
”When I found SBPRA in the 2012 Edition of ‘Writer’s &
Authors Handbook’, I was led to believe a lot of things that really weren't to be taken seriously,” Marcus De Storm revealed, "The
Publishing Company (That’s open to debate) boasts of more than 3,000
Author’s that it has helped sell their works of art, but, on taking them
up on this challenge and paying my $150.00 Dollars [£98.00], I was then
faced with a ‘WordPress Website’ for which I had no control over, the
description of my book’s contents and Biography, as well as the price in
the corner for a Paperback $18.75! Who the hell buys a Paperback from
an unpublished Author at nearly $20.00 Dollars?”
Given the exclusive on "The Brotherhood Of The Realms”,
it is the very first time that the Pilot novel has seen the light of
day within the Public Domain. The Writer himself has allowed only four
people including the Publishing House (!) to read the novel, but knows
that the decision to withdraw from SBPRA was "Right”, "Justified” and
the "Best” move to make for the future of the novel.
”After paying the $150.00 Dollars to SBPRA, I was amazed
(angry at the least) to be told that I would have to market and attract
the first 100 customers to my WordPress Author’s page. This is where it
still sits now, while every two weeks I receive annoying emails from
SBPRA asking if I would like to ‘Hire’ the professional services of
their staff who can sell my book for me, and at reasonable rates, too.
This is something that an unknown, unpublished Writer cannot afford, and
so, I have written the whole Project off and joined with Amazon – which
I have a strange feeling is exactly what SBPRA do in the long run
anyway.” Marcus added.
"The Brotherhood Of The Realms”
was written in the early 1990′s, when culture change and attitudes were
much different than what they are today, but, when the choices of the
generations were more open than most in today's society. The behind the
scenes affects of living grabbed hold of Marcus De Storm, bringing him
into a more settled – though chaotic – world of chemical influences, and
through this taboo indulgence brought knowledge, imagination and fresh
idea creations flooding through into his writing. And, from the idea of
"The Brotherhood Of The Realms”
came the much anticipated Story-Short Novel "On A Storyteller’s Night”
Chronicles, which continue after the launch novel in such a way, that
one exclusive reader said: "This is intense! You have a Crime novel
starter, the Gore, the Horror, and the substance to be a part of ‘Storm
Island’ residents and share with surreal interaction their dilemmas.”
”On A Storyteller’s Night Book 1: The Beginning”, was great
to write,” laughs Marcus, "it was written in a decade that gave me so
many ideas that could be exploited; the prospects of unemployment
fuelling the crimes, destitution bringing in the evil elements of a
persons attitude and disregard for human life, and I guess you could say
that the chassis of the Status Quo would be the centre point of Bluebell
Woods – which is the source of the stories. When ‘On A Storyteller’s
Night Book 2: The Sanctum” was written, my whole outlook on the
mysteries and evil element’s surrounding the Wood changed as to the
relocation of myself to North Wales. I believed that the mood that I was
in at the time changed the character ‘Juice’ and so moved back to
Leeds. From this point of relocating again, I concentrated more time and
effort into completing both additional novels to ‘The Brotherhood’, where the result was fifty-two uncut Crime Gore Horror Story-Shorts.”
To read the Pilot Launch Novel’s introduction and to Buy from Amazon for your Kindle, then all you have to do is hit the title: "The Brotherhood Of The Realms”.
And, if you enjoyed reading the full book, then you will love the
‘Expanded’ Story-Short Novel Series "On A Storyteller’s Night Series’,
which are due for release very soon.
