Welcome to KindleBoards, Pamela, and congratulations on your book. (If you've gotten this welcome before, it's just as a matter of housekeeping. We like to put a copy of the "welcome letter" in each book thread. It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, it just helps us know that you know the rules.) A brief recap of our rules follows: --We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here. --Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information. You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice). --You are encouraged to respond to member comments and questions, but remember that you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days. Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. --We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link. Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead. --Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows. This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles! Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post. All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules. Oh, and one more thing: be sure to check out the index threads at the top of the Book Bazaar. . . .there are details there about how you can be listed so that our readers can find you. Thanks for being part of KindleBoards! Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions. Betsy & Ann Book Bazaar Moderators

Thank you Ann,
Good housekeeping! You must have made the image smaller. I tried at least a dozen times.

I just got this 5 star review for The Necromancer and had to post it. It made me so happy:
------------------------------- Great Read by geatdanemomDT Customer Rating: See Detailed Ratings
Enjoyed every moment reading this book. Kept me up until 5 am for 3 nights running. All the characters are well developed, the story moves so fast and smoothly there was no place to stop, nor did I want to. Looking forward to reading her other books.

Where to begin? Here goes.... This book is a must read! I started it yesterday and finished it today. I loved it! (If it's still on sale for $.99, grab it now. It's still very well worth it and a bargain at $2.99.) The concept/plot is very original. Never a dull moment, excellent plotting, good character development, a few surprises here and there, totally absorbing, and a very fast read. I think it would make a terrific movie. (Hey, I think I just wrote part of the review I will be posting on Amazon tonight or tomorrow.) Now, you do need to get past the detailed description of an icky insect or two, but it's worth it. And in the first quarter of the book, you might wonder why Michelle doesn't see what everyone else is seeing/feeling, but this is soon addressed as the story continues. The Necromancer is quite different from Midnight Reflections, which I also liked, as the themes are much darker. I could tell that much research went into this story as well. I already have The Living Image on my kindle, and will be reading that very soon. I will read anything the author, Pamela, releases. Pamela is now another one of my new favorite authors. One of the things I enjoy about Pamela's writing is that her character's reactions to things are far more realistic to me than in many other books (commercial and indie). I also think she has a real knack for providing "explanations" for things I wonder about while reading...as if she is anticipating the reader's reactions or questions. Anyway, discovering wonderful indie authors is one of the greatest benefits of reading Kindleboards and having a Kindle. Pamela, what's next? Are you working on a new book? I hope I won't have to wait toooooooo long.

Hi Geoff: I don't know what you normally like to read, but I think you'll like this. There is some romance in it, but enough evil and action (towards the end) in it for guys to enjoy, too. Stay with it and post your report when you finish it. I wasn't sure it was going to be my kind of paranormal; sounded too scary and dark with insects, evil, witch coven, etc., but I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Hope you do, too.

Geoff,
Thank you so much. I hope you will enjoy. ____________________
LuvMyKindle,
I am so grateful that you took the time to write here about my novels. We writers are pretty scared when we present our work to the world. We think, maybe it's okay. Maybe someone will like it. Maybe we are talented. Maybe not. But it really takes a lot of guts on our part. Each novel is like a child. We put it out there and hope for the best.
Thank you so much for your kindness to my little novel children. It's all we wish for--that someone likes them.

Thought I'd post another really great review. Just got it yesterday.
A contrast of beauty, January 30, 2011 By M. Frost (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Necromancer (Kindle Edition) The Necromancer is a stunning journey into the heart of pure evil disguised as beauty. The book is set in the lovely beaches of Waikiki, and the author does a good job of describing the surroundings that follow the normal (and not so normal) days of a resident.
To go along with this beautiful set, the story revolves around Michelle, a fully human character, with inner issues and a magnificent strength to overcome them. Michelle is surrounded with strong supporting characters, who each bring their own strengths and pasts into the story, weaving together the beauty and hardships they face in their attempt to overcome evil.
That evil is personified in the main villain, Omar, whose dark heart is driven by both the magical and mundane. A character whose own opinion of his beautify and charm are only surpassed by the darkness in his heart. Omar is a character you love to hate.
Overall, the book is a good, easy read - which goes quickly despite the length. Well worth the investment. I look forward to seeing what else the author has to offer.
Still 99 cents. Hope you all will try it.

It's interesting that in sales studies of my three novels in different genres, The Necromancer does best on Amazon UK and at B&N. I guess paranormal outsells other genres there, because The Necromancer has about a 4 to 1 lead there over my others.
On Amazon in US sales, my contemporary romance is outselling the others.
I wonder if anyone writing in different genres sees this trend as well.

Here's another nice review:
Eleisyn (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviewsAmazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Necromancer (Kindle Edition) I began reading this, not quite sure to expect. The characters were a lot of fun, and larger than life. For example, the villain dressed in black and wore an actual cape at times, but the protagonist made this observation herself as well.
While it was all enjoyable, the last quarter or so was the absolute best. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but parts of it had me laughing out loud even during the action/serious parts in that several of the characters were running around trying to "fix" everything, and the situation reminded me of the ScoobyDoo cartoons from my youth, and in a very good way.
This book has romance, intrigue, some violence, humor, and a whole bunch of character. I heartily recommend it.

Thanks to Christine in Pennsylvania for this nice review:
I hope this is a series..., March 8, 2011 By Christine W (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviewsAmazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Necromancer (Kindle Edition) I am a relatively new fan of this paranormal genre, but find I am liking it more and more. I think that "The Necromancer" had some great characters that would fare well in a series. Not that there wasn't closure in the final pages, there was, but the way it ended left it wide open for things to pick back up.
I like that it's set in Hawaii, it lends an exotic feel to the story. The characters were interesting: Nakamura (and Lucifer!) stole my heart. Michelle, our hero, is definitely someone I'd hang out with in real life. She seems pretty authentic, three-dimensional and fun things happen when she is around. My definition of "fun" in this instance is- magic, mishaps and mayhem galore.
All in all, a good book! And while I'd be disappointed if it didn't turn into a series, I'd still recommend it to my paranormal-loving friends.
