5 good bets punting on #BYNR

For many of us, books are staple commodities, not luxuries.

I have invented a book race to see which of my five Bent Banana Books April Specials sells the most.

I am calling the race the Grand Notional Staplechase. I am against horses jumping over obstacles but new books have to do it all the time.

I will list the form of the five horses/ books as they appear in the official race-guide, http://bentbananabooks.com/

The race finishes April 30.

1.        

Well-bred by Bernie Dowling out of Pop Culture.

Runs a funny race with short sprints and seems to always want to chase Rock Music, Aussie Slang and Crime.

Had only two starts before review judges and scored first (5-stars) both times.

Lack of experience may hinder.

Discount cost $1.99

Odds 7-1

In the stables of Amazon, Apple, B&N, Google Kobo and others: Amazon stable http://geni.us/3mZH

2.

By newcomer Christina Debi.

In the company of Kings, Koontzes and Grahams

Best Sellers in Psychic Suspense Top 100 Paid  

A HUMBLE Australian grandmother from the working-class  suburb of Strathpine is mixing it with the giants of popular literature.

Jane Sharp’s Vision: Complete Trudy Harper Psychic Investigations is published by Bent Banana Books. As many of you know BBB is me, Bernie. Or should that be I, Bernie? Never mind. This is not about me. Or I. This is about Main Jane.

Vision, containing all 20 Trudy Harper mysteries is in Amazon Kindle Top 100 in Psychics and Top 100 in Ghosts.

Jane’s tales are competing well with the books of Dean Koontz, Heather Graham and Stephen King.
