7 reasons you want to buy Alpha and Omega

Available world-wide from October 25

The 2014 WAG short-stories anthology Alpha and Omega is available in print and eBook world-wide from October 25.

On that day in Australia we will have the physical launch at Pine Rivers Art Gallery.

For those flying over from London, New York and Paris for the launch starts at 1pm.

Last year, Writers’ Anthology Group (WAG) in conjunction with Bent Banana Books produced the popular collection Serendipity. Again Alpha and Omega has short stories and poetry, illustrated by local artists, mainly photographers

Now available world-wide in every format

This year saw the launch of the Peter Campbell/ WAG Literary Awards with the champion’s trophy going to Paimarire Teague, a Year-11 student from Dakabin State High School.

Reason #1 why you want to buy Alpha and Omega

Paimarire’s story Hope amid War is a dystopian story and, as they say, a page turner.

Reason #2 why you want to buy Alpha and Omega

We All Meet in the Stars by Phil Devine is a fascinating real-life account of how Phil provided free viewings through his relatively powerful telescope.

It was a celebration of the 2009 International Year of Astronomy in the desert heart of Australia in Alice Springs. Superbly told, this story is a wonderful and surprising tribute to the human spirit.

Reason #3 why you want to buy Alpha and Omega

A young story-teller is 16-year-old Sarah L Wilson.

Her futuristic story, First Do no Harm, is set in a youth orphanage. It is a tough exciting moral tale which breathlessly rushes the reader to its denouement.

Reason #4 why you want to buy Alpha and Omega

Journey’s End by Sue Sander is a modern classic about the death of a loved one.

Without giving the plot away, I will simply say you will remember this one long after the last word. Superb.

Reason #5 why you want to buy Alpha and Omega

Anne Olsson’s A Step Too Far is a brilliant telling of the progress through life of a group of high-school friends.

Distinctly Australian, the story nonetheless will touch the international soul.

Reason #6 why you want to buy Alpha and Omega

Some people believe that self-promotion is an evil of the modern age.

I will simply say, you may enjoy my quirky suspense story The One About the Farmer's Daughters

Reason #7 why you want to buy Alpha and Omega

There are another 15 stories, not to mention good poems and attractive artwork.

All this is at a most reasonable price given the collective labors of love that have produced it.

How reviews of my Old Child (OC) best-seller Naughty Nineties knocks Veronica Roth from her literary perch Divergent author is uninjured as it is only fiction

 This is not the book I am offering FREE for reviews 

but mine is the same shape

I HAVE had a few modest sales of my Old-Child (OC) anthology Naughty Nineties Volume 1 and now I need some reviews.

     As I write this, I see where Veronica Roth has garnered 9595 reviews for her Hunger Games knock-off Divergent. That number 9595  is obviously the bench mark so I am aiming for 7 reviews.

     Read on to see how you can be one of the magnificent seven.

President Obama's Top 10 Tips for Being Laughed at

In your eye, Steele Hill.

SURELY Steele Hill is funnier than Ronald Reagan.

     Why isn’t Naughty Nineties Volume 1 (buy the damn thing HERE PLEASE) #1 on Kindle Political Humor. I know the answer is because Reagan is there but is that fair?

     I do not understand all the Republican nostalgia for Reagan.  The so-called Great Communicator in his first years as US President said to the poor "you’re fired” and to the rich “here, have some more public money.”
     But then the Kindle Political Humor category is dominated by right-wingers.This is not sour grapes because Naughty Nineties Volume 1 is not ahead of Reagan. Naughty Nineties is #16 of 2064 books in the Kindle ebook category Political Humor. (This does not mean you can hit me up for a loan; it means lots of authors out there are selling bugger all books)

Freestyle: Steele Hill goes H2H against Justin Bieber

Hill V. Bieber: 

Battle of the the intellects

MY anthology Naughty Nineties (buy it here) was travelling nicely on page 4 of Amazon’s category, popular music books.

     Sure  five Justin Bieber books were ahead of it but the Steele Hill collection was beating the Justin Bieber quote book.

     In the twinkling of an eye  – I swear it was less than three minutes – Naughty Nineties had slipped to page 7. The Leave it to Bieber quotes remained on page 4.

     Now I know how John Lennon felt when he returned his MBE gong in protest against the war in Biafra and Cold Turkey slipping down the charts.

     How had Bieber bested Steele Hill in that            instant-karmic skirmish of the war of pop words?                        Buy Naughty Nineties here                                             

     To set the record straight, Steele Hill goes H2H, quoting  against Justin Bieber.
